History and description

The stadium has a capacity of 36,451 people. The stadium underwent a next major redevelopment in 1993 when Angers promoted to Ligue 1. This included the construction of the new curved Colombier stand behind the goal, similar to those of Marseille's Stade Velodrome which would get built a few years later.

In early 2020, the stadium got an extensive refurbishment which included a new roof. A new stand was built at Stade Jean Bouin in the 2010s, and over the following years it underwent further refurbishments. In early 2020, the stadium received an extensive refurbishment which included a new roof.

In March 2017, the city council of the city of Angers voted to rename the stadium Stade Raymond Kopa in honour of the recently deceased Raymond Kopa, an ex-player of the club.
