Hive Stadium holds 7,800 and is Edinburgh Rugby’s home, built in the shadow of Murrayfield’s back straight. The club moved in for the 2021-22 season.

Hive Stadium capacity

Capacity is 7,800. Edinburgh spent years rattling around inside the 67,144-seat Murrayfield next door, and the purpose-built ground was a deliberate move to a venue the club could fill.

Who plays at Hive Stadium

Edinburgh Rugby play United Rugby Championship and European rugby here. They still use Murrayfield for the 1872 Cup derby against Glasgow and other large fixtures.

The move that worked

Attendances rose sharply after the switch. A full 7,800 generates an atmosphere that 10,000 inside Murrayfield never could.
