The Kassam Stadium is the home of Oxford United Football Club and London Welsh Rugby Football Club, and is named after the ground's owner, and former chairman of the football club, Firoz Kassam.
To date, the Kassam Stadium has staged nothing higher than fourth-tier league football, as Oxford were relegated to Division Three the season before the new stadium was built and were further relegated to the Conference National in 2005–06. The club was previously based at The Manor Ground.

Famous quotes containing the word stadium:
“The final upshot of thinking is the exercise of volition, and of this thought no longer forms a part; but belief is only a stadium of mental action, an effect upon our nature due to thought, which will influence future thinking.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
