The Stoop 2008

The Stoop ist ein Stadion im südwestlichen Londoner Stadtteil Twickenham. Es bietet Platz für 14.816 Zuschauer und ist das Heimstadion zweier Rugbyvereine, des Harlequin F.C. (Rugby Union) bzw. von Harlequins Rugby League (Rugby League). Beide sind in den jeweils höchsten englischen Ligen vertreten.

Der Harlequin F.C. spielte ab 1906 im weitaus bekannteren Twickenham Stadium, das nur wenige hundert Meter entfernt ist. Im Jahr 1963 erwarb der Verein ein 57.000 m² großes Leichtathletikgelände, auf dem in der Folge das neue Stadion entstand.

Zunächst lautete der offizielle Name Stoop Memorial Ground. Im Jahr 2005 erfolgte die Umbenennung in Twickenham Stoop Stadium, doch die inoffizielle Bezeichnung ist weitaus häufiger in Gebrauch. Benannt ist das Stadion nach Adrian Stoop, einem eingewanderten Niederländer, der für die englische Nationalmannschaft spielte und während 29 Jahren Präsident des Harlequin F.C. war.
