Welford Road is the home of Leicester Tigers and the oldest purpose-built rugby ground in the world still in use. Located in the heart of Leicester, the stadium has been the Tigers' home since 1892 and is renowned as one of the most atmospheric club grounds in world rugby. The "Crumbie Stand" and the famous "Terrace" end create a wall of noise that has intimidated visiting teams for over a century. Leicester Tigers have won more English league titles than any other club.
