The City Ground is a football stadium in the West Bridgford area of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England, on the banks of the River Trent. It has been home to Nottingham Forest Football Club since 1898, and has an all-seated capacity of 30,602.
The stadium was a venue when England hosted Euro 96, and is only three hundred yards away from Meadow Lane, home of Forest's neighbouring club Notts County; the two grounds are the closest professional football stadiums in England and the second closest in the United Kingdom after the grounds of Dundee F.C. and Dundee United. They are located on opposite sides of the River Trent.
The City Ground is the 22nd largest club football ground in England.
