DW Stadium
The DW Stadium (formerly JJB stadium) is the home of both Wigan RLFC and Wigan Athletic FC, and is a multi million pound stadium built on the Robin Park complex. The stadium is an all seater arena with a seating capacity of 25,138 (this was increased from 25,004 in December 2005 following building work), and it was built by Alfred McAlpine and completed in August 1999.
The Stadium has been built to the latest health and safety specifications and complies with the current guide to safety at sports grounds (green guide).
The stadium was opened on August 4, 1999, having cost £30m to construct. It is a modern all-seater stadium with a capacity of 25,138. The stadium's inauguration was marked with a friendly between Wigan Athletic and Manchester United, who were then reigning European Champions, with Sir Alex Ferguson officially opening the stadium. Wigan Athletic had spent the previous 102 years playing at Springfield Park. Wigan Warriors played their first game at the stadium on September 19, 1999 against Castleford Tigers.
