Stoke Gifford Stadium is an association football stadium based in Filton, in South Gloucestershire, England.[1] Until August 2020 it was the home of FA Women's Super League team Bristol City W.F.C. and the Bristol Aztecs american football team. [2] It is part of the South Gloucestershire and Stroud College and was opened in 2011 under the name of Kip Keino Athletic Stadium as it has an athletics track around it.[3]

The cost of the development was £875,000 with £450,000 coming from Bristol City Council. Bristol City moved into the stadium in 2011 at the same time as the Aztecs and the Kenyan athletics team used it as a training venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[4] The stadium has a capacity of 1,500, the main stand seating 300. The nearest railway stations are Bristol Parkway and Filton Abbey Wood.[5]
