Stadium Information

Ewood Park is the football stadium located in Blackburn, Lancashire, England, and has been the home of Blackburn Rovers F.C. since 1890. Inaugurated in April 1882, the stadium has undergone various renovations over the years, establishing itself as a modern facility with a capacity for 31,367 spectators. 

The stadium comprises four main stands: the Jack Walker Stand, named in honor of the former club owner, with a capacity of 11,000 people; the Blackburn End Stand, which accommodates 8,000 fans; the Riverside Stand, with space for 6,000 spectators; and the Bryan Douglas Darwen End, which can accommodate 7,000 supporters. These stands were rebuilt in the 1990s under the direction of Jack Walker, transforming Ewood Park into a top-tier stadium.

Throughout its history, Ewood Park has been the scene of notable events, including the final of the UEFA Women's European Championship in 2005. Additionally, the stadium recorded its highest attendance on March 2, 1929, when 62,522 spectators witnessed an FA Cup match between Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers. 

A curiosity is that, in 1913, during the suffragette campaign in the United Kingdom, an attempt was made to set fire to the main stand of Ewood Park as part of the protests for women's suffrage. Although the attempt was unsuccessful, this fact highlights the stadium's connection to broader historical events.
