Stade Michel Bendichou
Colomiers, France
Formerly: Stade du Sélery
The ground in Colomiers is defined by its openness to the sky.
The site is known as Stade Michel Bendichou, a name given in 2004 to honour a local rugby president. Before that, it was simply Stade du Sélery, a reference to the district where it sits.
This venue has hosted finals that matter. It saw US Colomiers reach the European Cup Final in 1999 and contest the Top 14 title match in 2000. Later, it welcomed the French Rugby League Championship final in 2015. Crowds have filled the open stands for these occasions, though the exact numbers vary between sources. The capacity is often cited as 11,430, a precise figure that suggests a count rather than an estimate.
The address is Allée de la Brière, a quiet street in the suburb of Toulouse. The club, Colomiers Rugby, still uses the pitch for training and matches.
