The Memorial Stadium in Bristol, England, stands as a place of remembrance, previously known as the Memorial Ground. Opened in 1921, its construction was an act of dedication to honour local rugby union players who lost their lives in the First World War. For many years, it served as the home for Bristol Rugby Club until their relocation in 2014.

Today, the stadium continues its role in the community as the home ground for Bristol Rovers Football Club. It remains a significant site for sports enthusiasts while continuing to fulfil its original purpose of commemorating the fallen from the Great War.
