From the Wikipedia article

Murrayfield Stadium is a rugby union stadium located in the area of the same name in Edinburgh, Scotland. The stadium is owned by the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) which has its headquarters based at the stadium, and is the national stadium of the Scotland national rugby union team. With a seating capacity of 67,144, it is the largest stadium in Scotland, the fifth largest in the United Kingdom, and the twenty-second largest in Europe. It officially opened on 21 March 1925 with a game between Scotland and England. The game was won by Scotland who came out victorious following a Grand Slam. The stadium hosts most of Scotland's home test matches and the Scottish Hydro Electric Cup final, as well as URC and European Rugby Champions Cup matches. Although primarily a rugby union stadium, Murrayfield has in the past hosted American football, rugby league and association football matches, as well as numerous music concerts. Currently, the stadium is known as Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium for sponsorship reasons.
