'''Stade de France''' ({{IPA|fr|stad də fʁɑ̃s}}, {{Lit|Stadium of France}}) is the [[national stadium]] of France, located just north of [[Paris]] in the commune of [[Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis|Saint-Denis]]. Its [[seating capacity]] of 80,698 makes it the [[List of football stadiums in France|largest stadium in France]]. The architecture of the Stade de France is inspired by the [[Worldport (Pan Am)|Worldport]] of the American airline [[Pan Am|Pan American]] at [[John F. Kennedy International Airport]] in New York.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.stadefrance.com/fr/le-stade/notre-histoire | title=Le Stade de France, un pari courageux devenu fierté française | date=10 October 2023 }}</ref> The stadium is used by the [[France national football team|French national football]] and [[France national rugby union team|rugby union team]]s for international competitions. It is the largest in Europe for [[sport of athletics|athletics]] events, seating 77,083 in that configuration. During other events, the stadium's running track is mostly hidden under the grandstands. 

Initially built for the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[Bids for the 2008 Summer Olympics|2008 Summer Olympics failed bid]]  the stadium's name was recommended by [[Michel Platini]], head of the organizing committee. On 12 July 1998, France beat [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] 3–0 in the [[1998 FIFA World Cup Final]] held at the stadium. The Stadium was a key player in the success of the city's bid to host the [[2024 Summer Olympic Games]] and also the [[2024 Summer Paralympic Games|Paralympics]] and in addition to hosting athletics and the closing ceremonies of both events. The stadium was rugby sevens venue during the Olympic Games. 

Stade de France, listed as a [[UEFA stadium categories|Category 4]] stadium by [[UEFA]], hosted matches at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, the [[List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners|UEFA Champions League finals]] in [[2000 UEFA Champions League Final|2000]], [[2006 UEFA Champions League Final|2006]] and [[2022 UEFA Champions League Final|2022]]. It has as well hosted the [[1999 Rugby World Cup|1999]], [[2007 Rugby World Cup|2007]] and [[2023 Rugby World Cup|2023]] [[Rugby World Cup|Rugby World Cups]], making it one of only two stadia in the world to have hosted both a [[FIFA World Cup]] [[FIFA World Cup Final|final]] and a [[Rugby World Cup|rugby union World Cup]] [[Rugby World Cup Final|final]] (along with [[Nissan Stadium (Yokohama)|Nissan Stadium in Yokohama]]). It also hosted seven matches at [[UEFA Euro 2016]], including the [[UEFA Euro 2016 Final|final]], where France lost to [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]] 1–0 in a tense extra time. The facility also hosted the [[Race of Champions]] auto race in [[2004 Race of Champions|2004]], [[2005 Race of Champions|2005]], and [[2006 Race of Champions|2006]]. The stadium hosted the [[2003 World Championships in Athletics]], and from 1999 to 2016, it hosted the annual [[Meeting Areva]] athletics meet.

Domestically, Stade de France serves as a secondary home facility of Parisian rugby clubs [[Stade Français Paris|Stade Français]] and [[Racing 92]], hosting a few of their regular-season fixtures. The stadium also hosts the main French domestic [[Single-elimination tournament|cup]] finals, which include the [[Coupe de France]] (both football and rugby), [[Coupe de la Ligue]], [[Challenge de France]], and the [[Coupe Gambardella]], as well as the [[Top 14]] [[rugby union]] championship match.

==History== 
[[File:Sacrecoeur stadedefrance.JPG|thumbnail|left|Stade de France visible from central Paris behind the basilica of [[Sacré-Cœur, Paris|Sacré-Cœur]]]]

The discussion about a new [[national stadium]] in France was asked during the bid process for the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]], when this issue was noted as one of the weaknesses of the Paris bid for the [[1992 Summer Olympics]]. And despite the existing infrastructure, if the process won, there was a guarantee that the French government and the [[French Football Federation]] would build a stadium for more than 80 thousand people and that it would become the main stage of the event. With the confirmation of France's choice announced on July 2, 1992, this new all-seater covered stadium was guaranteed and thus broke the country's tradition of not building any new specific structure for a sporting event, as the last one was the [[Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir]]. Due to the magnitude and importance of the facility, the [[Council of State (France)|Council of State]] was allowed a first-hand approach to how the stadium would be constructed and paid for. The Council sought for the stadium to be built as close as possible to Paris and their metropolitan area, and that the constructor and operator of the facility would receive significant financial contributions for 30 months following the stadium's completion. The architects Michel Macary, Aymeric Zublena, Michel Regembal, and Claude Constantini, who were associated with CR SCAU Architecture, handled the stadium's design.{{Cn|date=August 2023}}

The stadium was officially ready for construction following the government's selection of manufacturers, [[Bouygues]], [[Vinci SA|Dumez]], and [[Vinci SA|SGE]], and the signing of building permits on 30 April 1995.<ref>[http://www.bouygues.com/us/groupe/fiches/pop_stade_france.html Bouygues website: Stade de France] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205222159/http://www.bouygues.com/us/groupe/fiches/pop_stade_france.html |date=5 December 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vinci.com/vinci.nsf/en/history-sites.htm?OpenAgent&stade_de_france|title=History|work=vinci.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001122543/http://www.vinci.com/vinci.nsf/en/history-sites.htm?OpenAgent&stade_de_france|archive-date=1 October 2011|df=dmy-all}}</ref> With only 31 months to complete the stadium, construction commenced on 2 May 1995. The first cornerstone was laid five months later, on 6 September. After over a year of construction, over {{cvt|800,000|m²|acre}} of [[Earthworks (engineering)|earthworks]] had been created, and as much as {{cvt|180,000|m³|cuft}} of concrete had been poured. The roof installation cost €45 million, and the mobile platform took over a year to complete.

During the developmental phase, the stadium was referred to in French as the ''Grand Stade'' ("large stadium"). On 4 December 1995, the [[Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports (France)|Ministry of Sport]] launched a design competition to decide on a name for the stadium. The stadium was officially named Stade de France (France's Stadium) after the Ministry heard a proposal from French [[Association football|football]] legend [[Michel Platini]], who recommended the name. The total cost of the stadium was €364&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.--> |title=Un coût de 364 millions d'euros |trans-title=A cost of 364 million euros |url=http://www.journaldunet.com/economie/services/business-de/stade-de-france-10-ans-chiffres-extraordinaires/5.shtml |url-status=live |work=Le Journal du Net |publisher=CCM Benchmark |location=Paris |date=n.d. |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130629135828/http://www.journaldunet.com/economie/services/business-de/stade-de-france-10-ans-chiffres-extraordinaires/5.shtml |archive-date=29 June 2013 |access-date=3 May 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Raynal |first=Adeline |date=27 September 2013 |title=Pourquoi le Stade de France coûte si cher au contribuable |trans-title=Why the Stade de France is so expensive for the taxpayer |url=https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/services/tourisme-loisirs/20130927trib000787568/pourquoi-le-stade-de-france-coute-si-cher-au-contribuable.html |url-status=live |work=[[La Tribune]] |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150415175611/http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/services/tourisme-loisirs/20130927trib000787568/pourquoi-le-stade-de-france-coute-si-cher-au-contribuable.html |archive-date=15 April 2015 |access-date=3 May 2021}}</ref>

The stadium was inaugurated on 28 January 1998, with a friendly football match between France and [[Spain men's national football team|Spain]]. The match was played in front of 78,368 spectators, which included [[President of France|President]] [[Jacques Chirac]], with France winning the match 1–0 with [[Zinedine Zidane]] scoring the lone goal, and the first-ever at Stade de France, in the 20th minute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fff.fr/servfff/historique/match_detail.php?nomatch=556|title=Equipes de France – FFF|work=Fédération Française de Football}}</ref> Six months later, France returned to the stadium and defeated [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] in the [[1998 FIFA World Cup Final]] to earn their first World Cup title.

On 24 May 2000, Stade de France hosted the [[2000 UEFA Champions League Final]]. In the match, which saw 78,759 spectators attend, Spanish club [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] defeated fellow Spanish club [[Valencia CF|Valencia]] 3–0. In 2003, Stade de France was the primary site of the [[2003 World Championships in Athletics]]. Three years later, event returned to the stadium with another Spanish club [[F.C. Barcelona|Barcelona]] defeating England's [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] 2–1. On 9 May 2009, Stade de France set the national attendance record for a sporting match played in France with 80,832 showing up to watch [[En Avant de Guingamp|Guingamp]] upset [[Derby Breton|Brittany rivals]] [[Stade Rennais F.C.|Rennes]] 2–1 in the [[2009 Coupe de France Final]]. On 22 May 2010, Stade de France hosted the [[2010 Heineken Cup Final]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/may/23/toulouse-biarritz-heineken-cup-final|title=Toulouse outmuscle Biarritz to win uninspiring Heineken Cup final |work=[[The Guardian]]|date=23 May 2010}}</ref> On 11 February 2012, a Six Nations international rugby game between France and Ireland had to be cancelled just before kick-off due to the pitch freezing as the stadium lacks under-soil heating.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/16969821|title=Six Nations: France v Ireland match called off at last minute|work=BBC Sport}}</ref>

On 13 November 2015, in one of [[November 2015 Paris attacks|a series of coordinated shootings and bombings]] across Paris, Stade de France was targeted. Two small proportion explosions occurred outside the stadium during an international friendly between France and Germany, with French President [[François Hollande]] in attendance. The terrorists, however, were unable to enter the stadium stands.<ref>{{Cite web|title = BREAKING: Two explosions heard in Stade de France during France v Germany game|url = http://metro.co.uk/2015/11/13/two-explosions-heard-in-stade-de-france-during-france-v-germany-game-5500399/|website = Metro|access-date = 13 November 2015|first = Tanveer Mann for|last = Metro.co.uk| date=13 November 2015 }}</ref> The explosion was heard inside the stadium, and many thought it was a firework going off inside the stadium. The attacker wanted to infiltrate the stadium, but was scared away when he saw security and was forced to detonate outside the park. The authorities, aware of what had occurred outside the stadium, chose to continue the match out of concerns that cancelling it would have caused a panic. The stadium has since improved its counter-attack training and strengthened its security.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2016/05/23/stade-de-france-security-euro-2016-paris|title=Stade de France security on watch before Euro 2016|last=Wire|first=S.

For the third time in its history, the [[2022 UEFA Champions League Final]] was held at the venue. This game between [[Liverpool F.C.]] and [[Real Madrid CF]], was delayed because of difficulties admitting fans. The conclusions of the independent review, commissioned by UEFA, found that the early justification from UEFA—that the delay was due to late arriving supporters—was "objectively untrue". The review found that two overarching organisational problems were responsible: the UEFA model for such matches which allowed for an absence of overall control, and the approach to policing the match which inappropriately assumed Liverpool FC supporters posed a public order risk.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Independent Review: 2022 UEFA Champions League Final |url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/027e-174e23083d46-84d25c2e6e55-1000/uclf22_independent_review_report_20230213194627.pdf }}</ref>

==Architecture==
[[File:World championships in athletics 2003 Paris Saint-Denis stadium.jpg|thumb|Stade de France with uncovered athletics track during the [[2003 World Championships in Athletics|2003 World Championships]]]]
Stade de France has a [[movable seating|movable stand]] which can be retracted to uncover part of the [[athletics track]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stadefrance.fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=122&Itemid=257|title=Stade de France – Key figures|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061124072526/http://www.stadefrance.fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=122&Itemid=257|archive-date=24 November 2006|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The stadium was notably designed with the assistance of a software simulation of crowd in order to get an accurate observation of how it would look fully developed. The facility was also intended to draw interest in and develop the area of the Plaine Saint-Denis, which straddle the communes of [[Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis|Saint-Denis]], [[Aubervilliers]], and [[Saint-Ouen, Seine-Saint-Denis|Saint-Ouen]]. The primary goal was to renovate the area by building new residential and tertiary sites.

The stadium was built without any undersoil heating as noted when Ireland were due to play France in the [[Six Nations Tournament]] rugby union match of 2012, when the game had to be canceled.

In 2002, the [[International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering]] (IABSE) awarded a prize recognizing the unique structure of the stadium, commenting that Stade de France exhibited "a construction of an attractive open architecture of the city, with an elegance and natural lightness".

===Roof===
[[File:Pose du dernier troncon de la toiture du stade de france.jpg|thumb|The last part of the metallic construction of the roof, 1997]]
Construction of the stadium's roof cost over €45 million. Its elliptical shape symbolizes the universality of [[sport in France]]. Its area of six hectares and weight, 13,000 tons, is considered a technical marvel by many. It was designed to easily protect the 80,000 spectators without covering the playing field. All lighting and sound, which include 550 lights and 36 blocks of 5 speakers, are housed inside to avoid obstructing visibility. The tinted glass in the center reduces the contrast and distributes natural light. It filters out red and [[infrared]] [[radiation]], however, it allows blue and green lights, due to their necessity involving the health of the turf.

==Interior==
[[File:Stade De France Vestiaires Visiteurs.jpg|thumb|right|Visitors' changing room]]

===Stands===
Stade de France is the biggest modular stadium in the world. With a three modules structure, the first module has 25,000 seats. It is reached by level 1. It is partially retractable.  To reveal the running track and jumping pits, the rear sections are lowered 7.1 m, then the inner sections retract 15 m into the space created,<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQXdii-ooyg |title=Mengintip Kecanggihan Retractable Seating Tribun Stade de France |date=2022-05-31 |last=Jagad Stadium |access-date=2024-08-05 |via=YouTube}}</ref> carried by ten distinct elements of 700 tons each. The tier then retains 22,000 seats. The transition takes 40 people and lasts 80 hours.

Access to the middle tier is through 22 bridges and can be found at level 3 with a concentration of restaurants, entertainment areas, shops and central station security.

Eighteen staircases lead viewers to the upper tier located at Level 6.

The evacuation procedures at the Stade de France are initiated about fifteen minutes prior to closing time. However, the actual time it takes to fully evacuate the stadium can vary depending on the number of attendees and the specific circumstances.

===Field===
Located at 11 meters below the court, the playing area measures 9,000 square meters (120 meters long and 75 meters wide) to a grassed area of 11,000 square meters. Nearly one billion seeds were sown to produce the first pitch in 1997. Today, the grass comes in rolls of 1.20 m x 8 m. Changing the pitch calls for three days of preparation and five days of installation. The change takes place several times a year, depending on the programming stage.
Unlike many other stadiums, Stade de France was built without under pitch heating, as the stadium was constructed on the site of an old gasworks,<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/french-humiliated-by-frozen-pitch-1142578.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220524/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/french-humiliated-by-frozen-pitch-1142578.html |archive-date=24 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live | work=The Independent | first1=John | last1=Lichfield | date=3 February 1998 | location=London | title=French humiliated by frozen pitch}}</ref> and there were concerns{{by whom|date=August 2021}} it could cause an explosion.

===Giant screens===
[[File:Stade de France 5 August 2024.jpg|thumb|Stade de France on August 5, 2024, during the Olympic Games]]
As part of its policy of renewing its infrastructure, Stade de France added two new big screens in September 2006. The new displays have a surface 58% greater than the previous screens installed in 1998. The newer giant screens are each composed of 4,423,680 [[light emitting diode]]s. They have faster response time and are brighter than the previous screens.{{cn|date=June 2022}}

==Major sports matches==

On 11 April 2015, the crowd noise produced by the 80,000 people at Stade de France during the [[2015 Coupe de la Ligue Final]] reached 109 decibels, which set the world record<!--It's very specific to a final match of a football tournament--> for the noisiest stadium recorded during a final match of a [[association football|football]] tournament.<ref>{{cite news|author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.-->|title=Le Stade de France bat un record du monde de décibels|trans-title=Stade de France breaks a world decibel record|url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/le-scan-sport/buzz/2015/04/11/27002-20150411ARTFIG00161-le-stade-de-france-bat-un-record-du-monde-de-decibels.php|url-status=live|language=fr|work=[[Le Figaro]]|location=Paris|date=11 April 2015|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210116210911/https://www.lefigaro.fr/le-scan-sport/buzz/2015/04/11/27002-20150411ARTFIG00161-le-stade-de-france-bat-un-record-du-monde-de-decibels.php|archive-date=16 January 2021|access-date=26 March 2021}}</ref>

==Tenants==
Stade de France has as a regular tenant only the [[France national football team|national football]] and [[France national rugby union team|national rugby]] teams. Repeated attempts to persuade a professional football or rugby team to move there have failed so far. Upon the construction of the stadium, [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] declined to move there, choosing to remain at the [[Parc des Princes]] under pressure from its then-owner (pay-TV network [[Canal+ (French TV provider)|Canal Plus]]) and the Paris city government.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

However, the Paris rugby club [[Stade Français]] have now established themselves as a semi-regular tenant. They began by scheduling their Top 14 home fixture on 15 October 2005 against [[Toulouse FC|Toulouse]] at Stade de France. Stade Français's president, [[Max Guazzini]], publicly said that the club would have to sell 25,000 to 30,000 tickets to break even. Three weeks before the match, 61,000 tickets had been sold, setting a French record for tickets sold to a league match for any sport, including football. The final attendance was 79,454, smashing the national attendance record for a league match in any sport by more than 20,000. Five minutes before the end of the Toulouse match, Guazzini announced to the crowd that Stade Français's scheduled home fixture against [[Biarritz Olympique|Biarritz]] in March 2006 would also be held at Stade de France.<ref>[http://www.planet-rugby.com/Tournaments/Top_14/story_46763.shtml Plant Rugby news story] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051219182153/http://www.planet-rugby.com/Tournaments/Top_14/story_46763.shtml |date=19 December 2005 }}</ref> The Stade-Biarritz match broke the attendance record from earlier in the season, with 79,604 present.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

Guazzini then booked Stade de France for the same two league fixtures in [[2006-07 Top 14 season|2006–07]]. The Biarritz match on 16 October 2006 drew 79,619, making this the third consecutive Stade Français fixture at Stade de France to set an all-time French attendance record. The record was broken yet again at a match against Toulouse on 27 January 2007, with 79,741 filling the stands. Stade Français went on to schedule three home matches at Stade de France in the [[2007-08 Top 14 season|2007–08 season]]. For the 2008–09 season, they booked Stade de France for three [[2008-09 Top 14 season|home league matches]] and [[2008-09 Heineken Cup pool stage#Pool 4|a Heineken Cup pool match]]. The number of Stade Français home matches at Stade de France increased again for 2009–10, with five [[2009–10 Top 14 season|Top 14 fixtures]] already announced for the stadium.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

Even with the lack of a regular league tenant, the stadium's revenue increased greatly in 2007, as it was used extensively during the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France, where it hosted numerous pool matches, a quarterfinal match, both of the semi-finals and the final.{{cn|date=May 2024}}

The [[Lille OSC]] football team played all its "home" games in European competition during the 2005–06 season, both in the [[UEFA Champions League]] and the [[UEFA Cup]], at Stade de France because its own stadium was then under renovation, and the only nearer alternative on French soil, [[Stade Félix-Bollaert]], was not available as that ground's occupant, Lille's local rival [[RC Lens|Lens]], was also participating in the UEFA Cup. Stade de France has hosted the Champions League final on three occasions: [[2000 UEFA Champions League Final|2000]] ([[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] 3 [[Valencia CF|Valencia]] 0), [[2006 UEFA Champions League Final|2006]] ([[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] 2 [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] 1), and [[2022 UEFA Champions League Final|2022]] ([[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] 1 [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] 0).

===Future developments and the [[2024 Summer Olympics]]===
France's governing body for rugby union, the [[French Rugby Federation]] (FFR), announced in November 2010 that it would not renew its deal to use Stade de France for international rugby matches when it expired in 2013. FFR also stated that it planned to build a new stadium of its own in the Paris region.<ref name="BBC FFR stadium3">{{cite news|url = https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/9229158.stm|title = French national rugby team plan to quit Stade de France|publisher = BBC Sport|date = 25 November 2010|access-date = 6 July 2012}}</ref>

Reportedly, the FFR had become increasingly frustrated with several aspects of the deal. According to rugby journalist Ian Moriarty, "The deal with the Stade de France has been a disaster for the FFR financially over the years, forcing France's powerbrokers to look across the [[English Channel|English channel]] at the [[Rugby Football Union|RFU]]'s [[Twickenham Stadium|Twickenham]] cash cow with ever increasing envy."<ref name="Moriarty3">{{cite web|url = http://www.espnscrum.com/france/rugby/story/166611.html|title = Money talks|first = Ian|last = Moriarty|website = ESPN Scrum|date = 5 July 2012|access-date = 6 July 2012}}</ref> Reports vary widely as to how much the FFR must spend to rent out the stadium, but estimates range from €3 million<ref name="Moriarty3" /> to €5 million<ref name="ESPN Scrum FFR plans3">{{cite web|url = http://www.espnscrum.com/france/rugby/story/166342.html|title = France announce plans for new stadium|website = ESPN Scrum|date = 29 June 2012|access-date = 6 July 2013}}</ref> per match. Although Stade de France and Twickenham are roughly the same size, the rental expense means that the FFR reportedly makes about one-third as much from a Stade de France sellout as does the RFU from a sellout at Twickenham.<ref name="ESPN Scrum FFR plans3" /> In addition, the national rugby team does not enjoy primacy at Stade de France; the national football team and major concerts take priority. FFR had to move two of its 2010–11 home Tests to Montpellier and Nantes due to fixture clashes with the national football team.<ref name="Moriarty3" /> Also, former FFR president [[Serge Blanco]] claimed that the [[2008–09 Top 14 season#Final|2009 Top 14 final]] had to be moved from May to June because of a conflict with a [[Johnny Hallyday]] rock concert.<ref name="BBC FFR stadium3" />

In June 2012, FFR announced that it had selected the site for its new ground, tentatively known as Grand Stade FFR.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.ffr.fr/index.php/ffr/rugby_francais/projet_stade|title = Projet Stade|publisher = [[French Rugby Federation]]|language = fr|access-date = 6 July 2012|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120615060530/http://www.ffr.fr/index.php/ffr/rugby_francais/projet_stade|archive-date = 15 June 2012|df = dmy-all}}</ref> The 82,000-seat stadium, featuring a retractable roof and slide-out pitch, was to be built on a former horse racing track in [[Évry, Essonne|Évry]], about {{convert|25|km|abbr=on}} south of Paris. The new stadium, estimated to cost €600 million, was originally scheduled to open in 2017,<ref name="Moriarty3" /> but completion was later pushed back to the 2021/2022 time frame.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://grandstaderugby.fr/le-stade/les-dates-cles/ |title=Le Stade: Les dates clés |publisher=[[French Rugby Federation]] |language=fr |access-date=5 September 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161024144722/http://grandstaderugby.fr/le-stade/les-dates-cles/ |archive-date=24 October 2016 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> FFR officially abandoned the stadium project in December 2016.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12508/10695930/the-french-rugby-federation-abandon-plans-for-new-stadium |title=The French rugby federation abandon plans for new stadium |first=Charlotte |last=Bates |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=14 December 2016 |access-date=12 February 2017}}</ref>

==Access==
Although located at the crossroads of auto-routes A1 and A86, it is not advisable to go there by car unless one has reserved parking. The stadium was built with a very limited number of parking spaces, which is why [[public transportation]] is considered the primary means of getting to the stadium. River shuttles are provided by the [[Canal Saint-Denis]].

As part of the [[Grand Paris Express]] project and [[2024 Summer Olympics|2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games]], a new station at {{stn|Saint-Denis–Pleyel}} is under construction, connected by a bridge to the [[Stade de France–Saint-Denis (Paris RER)|Stade de France–Saint-Denis]] station. Initially served by [[Paris Métro Line 14|Line 14]] in time for the Games, the station will eventually serve 4 different Métro lines.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|date=2017-05-03|title=Saint-Denis Pleyel|url=https://www.societedugrandparis.fr/gpe/gare/saint-denis-pleyel|access-date=2021-08-04|website=Société du Grand Paris|language=fr}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|date=July 2018|title=GARE SAINT-DENIS PLEYEL - LE CŒUR DU GRAND PARIS EXPRESS|url=https://media-mediatheque.societedugrandparis.fr/medias/domain1/media670/101129-whpwdqkphw.pdf|website=Société du Grand Paris|language=fr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200111101626/https://media-mediatheque.societedugrandparis.fr/medias/domain1/media670/101129-whpwdqkphw.pdf|archive-date=11 January 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>
