 | | The Stade Chaban-Delmas, or the Parc Lescure, as it used to be known, has evolved from a Parc des Sports next to a vineyard, into a stadium worthy of staging World Cup finals matches in 1998. |
 | | When the 1998 World Cup came to France, the Lescure was improved to the tune of £5m, but it was not without its critics the moderations meant that all the terracing was replaced with seats an unpopular move with the supporters. |
 | | Today, the stadium seats 36,500, and was renamed in 2001 after a local mayor and Bordeaux fan who died in 1998. |
