Edinburgh Rugby: Work completed on 'mini Murrayfield' next to national stadium
- Published
The new facility features a 3G surface and will hold 7,800 supporters
Work has been completed on Edinburgh's new 7,800-capacity 'mini Murrayfield'.
The £5.7m venue adjacent to their current Murrayfield home will be the club's first permanent base.
The new facility will seat 5,800 and will have safe standing for a further 2,000. For now, the pro14 side will use the stadium to train on until fans are allowed back into grounds.
"I have always said that this is a game-changing project for us," said managing director Douglas Struth.
"Our new stadium will now go a long way to helping us realise that potential."
Head coach Richard Cockerill said: "Getting back into the stadium together will be big, uniting moment for everyone and will hopefully help us continue us improve as a club, on and off the pitch."
