Stade Municipal du Ray is a football stadium in Nice, France. It is the home of OGC Nice and has a capacity of 18,696.[1] It is popular for being located in the center of the city, but suffers from its old structure and small capacity. The red and black colored stadium is mostly used for football. A new stadium was supposed to be built in the Lingostière side, but the project was cancelled because of a corruption scandal in 2006. The stadium will be replaced by Grand Stade Nice, when it opens in 2013.
