Ewood Park is a football stadium in Blackburn, Lancashire and the home of Blackburn Rovers football club. The stadium, which opened in 1890, holds 31,367 people (all seated) and has a pitch size of 115 x 76 yards. It comprises four sections: Darwen End, Riverside Stand (currently sponsored by the Co-operative Insurance Society), named as such because it stands practically on the banks of the River Darwen, Blackburn End and Jack Walker Stand, named after the late Blackburn industrialist and club supporter, Jack Walker.
Blackburn Rovers are the only football club to have won the English F.A. Cup 3 times in 3 consecutive seasons, and for this achievement are the only club in the English Football League with permission to display their club crest on the corner flags. This rule is still applicable at Ewood Park, despite the victories being achieved whilst at the club's previous home at the Leamington Road ground.
