The History of Ewood Park
Opened in 1882, Ewood Park is an all seated venue with a capacity of 31,367. It’s comprised of four primary stalls including the Bryan Douglas Darwen End and Ronnie Clayton End, named after two famed Rovers players; the Jack Walker Stand, named in tribute to the eponymous businessman, and the Riverside Stand, named after its proximity to the River Darwen.
The pitch at Ewood Park measures 115 by 76 yards and is slightly elevated, meaning its players have to run up a small incline to take corners and throw-ins. From 1881 to 1890, Ewood Park housed football, athletics and greyhound racing before becoming the official home of Blackburn Rovers in 1890.
