Opened 2042

Rennes du Nord play their football at the Silver Flair Stadium (or simply, the Silver Flair), which is located to the north of Rennes' city center. Due to its proximity to the city center parking is at a premium, but the underground metro system links to stadium to multiple underground parkings around the city. Via the underground the Silver Flair is just a minute or so away from the center of town.

The all-seater stadium has a capacity of 72 333. A section of 2 250 seats is reserved for away fans. All seats are in the club's main color, orange, except for some symbols, such as a gigantic dear's face and the club's name, which are made up of black seats.

The Stadium, built in 2042, was contructed as part of Maristela Cameron's grand plan to get her side to the top of Kernansquillecan football. The all-seater stadium was designed specifically to have a larger capacity than the Stade de Beaulieu of their city rivals, the Stade Rennais.

The Silver Flair name came from the fact that home fans often use orange and black smoke flairs during home matches. The silver reference comes from the original 9 000 capacity ground upon which the Silver Fair was built: Silver Lane. As to this day the main road leading to the stadium is still called Silver Lane.
