The Liberty Stadium, formerly the New Stadium and White Rock, is a purpose-built sports and concert arena in the Landore area of Swansea, Wales. The stadium is all-seated, with a capacity of 20,280. On its opening in 2005, it became the home to Swansea City A.F.C. football team and the Ospreys regional rugby team. The opening match at this venue was between Swansea City A.F.C. and Fulham F.C. (managed by former Swansea player Chris Coleman) on Saturday, July 23, 2005. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. During its building, a variety of names were suggested for it: particularly commonly-used were "Morfa" and the "White Rock" stadium (after the copper-works of the same name which existed on the site historically). While a sponsor was being sought for the stadium, it was called the the "New Stadium". In July 2005, a campaign was mounted by supporters of the football club in favour of the name White Rock. On 18 October 2005, it was announced that the stadium would be named the "Liberty Stadium", with Swansea-based developers Liberty Properties being unveiled as the new sponsor, having signed a five-year deal. However, many fans still prefer to use the working title of White Rock.
