Meadow Lane
Not to be confused with The Meadow, home of Southern Football League Premier Division football team Chesham United
The Meadow Lane Stadium (usually known simply as Meadow Lane) is a football stadium in Nottingham, England. It is the home ground of Notts County, who have played there since 1910. The stadium has also been home to Nottingham R.F.C. since 2006.
It currently has an all-seated capacity of 20,229.
Meadow Lane lies just three hundred yards (275 metres) away from the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest. The two grounds are the closest in England and the second closest in the United Kingdom after the grounds of Dundee and Dundee United. The Trent End of the City Ground is visible from parts of the Jimmy Sirrel stand and the Spion Kop.
The stadium also hosts the men's and women's football and rugby events in the Varsity Series – a sporting series contested by Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham.
