Moor Lane, currently known as the Peninsula Stadium for sponsorship purposes, is a football stadium in Kersal, Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The stadium has a capacity of 5,108 and is the home of Salford City F.C.

Salford City moved into Moor Lane in 1978,[3] but the stadium was active for other sports many years prior to this date. The stadium has undergone multiple renovations, most notably in 2016-17, which increased the capacity from 1,600 to 5,108.[4]

The Stadium is served by bus routes 92 (evenings) and 93 between Bury and Manchester, route 94 between Pilsworth and NMGH, route 95 between Bury and Salford Shopping Centre and nearby route 484 serving Eccles, Swinton and Prestwich.
