A new stadium with 15,000 seats, US Orléans and RC Orléans are dreaming of it and working on it together

They must live together at the La Source stadium, starting next summer, as long as the sleeves essential for installing the rugby goalposts are installed there. The US Orléans footballers and the RC Orléans rugby players, who are experiencing very similar sporting dynamics this exciting season, could no longer leave each other too much in the future, but in a new venue. It is the ambition, discreet for the moment, of the presidents of the two clubs (certain partners have been taken into confidence), who are working on the question these days.

A capacity of 15,000 seats

Cyril Courtin (USO) and Didier Bouriez (RCO) see relatively large – a capacity of 15,000 places – and wide, with a large adjoining car park, “a trade zone (Courtin)”, “and why not a business school or a medical institute, as is the case in other stadiums (Bouriez)”. Both agree on the need to take care of the partner spaces, the boxes and the baskets, which are the black spots of La Source and Les Montées, as we currently know them.
