Gabriel Montpied Stadium

Clermont-Ferrand, France

Project content

Project description

The Gabriel Montpied Stadium, a historic venue for Clermont’s football, is about to write a new chapter in its history with an ambitious project that embodies the perfect balance between heritage, landscape, and innovation.

Centered around the Gergovie stand, an iconic element of the local architectural and sporting heritage, the stadium extension will be carried out in three phases, on an occupied site. It will offer a new 25,000-seat venue with an iconic design, inspired by the majestic volcanic landscape of the Puys mountain range, redefining the urban and sporting experience for all spectators.

An Urban Stadium in Harmony with the Landscape
The Gabriel Montpied Stadium integrates seamlessly into the heart of a 17-hectare sports park, designed to become a true attractive hub for collective life. Thought of as a landscape stadium, it serves as a catalyst for sporting activities, accessible to all. A tree-lined embankment surrounds the stadium, guiding the public towards the lower concourse. To the south, this embankment rises to house the ticket office and a dining area, reinforcing the connection between the stadium and the city. Along the axis of the East stand, it rises again to accommodate a multifunctional sports complex, including a large multi-sports hall and a climbing wall. In this way, the stadium becomes a place of convergence, fostering both sports practice and social interaction.
