EWOOD PARK…
Ewood Park has been the home of Blackburn Rovers since 1890 when they moved from Leamington Street. Since three new stands were built during the 1990s, the capacity now holds 31,367. The new stands built are at either end of the pitch and along one of the sides where the dugout and tunnel is. The Riverside Stand is the oldest part of Ewood Park and is the only single-tiered stand.
