stadium

Monaco have played at the original Stade Louis II since its beginnings in 1939. In 1985, the stadium was replaced with the current iteration, built on a nearby site consisting of land reclaimed from the Mediterranean Sea, which has become a recurring feature of the stadium's seaside surroundings. The stadium is named after the former Prince of Monaco Louis II and houses a total of 18,500 supporters. The Stade Louis II is noted for its iconic nine arches and has hosted numerous athletic events and European Cup finals, including each instance of the annual UEFA Super Cup, which is held every August. The stadium has been undergone renovations numerous times and, at the beginning of the 2008–09 season, underwent numerous changes, which included the installation of two large screens. Monaco train in nearby La Turbie, a newly-built training facility featuring state-of-the-art gyms, pools and conference centres.
