Minyuan Stadium

Minyuan Stadium, in Tianjin, China, was used mostly for football matches and hosted the home matches of Tianjin Teda F.C. until the TEDA [Football Stadium] opened in 2004. The stadium held 18,000 spectators. Eric Liddell helped build the stadium when he was a missionary in Tianjin in 1926, modelling it on Stamford Bridge of London, which was Liddell's favourite athletics venue.
Minyuan Stadium was closed and remodelled over a two-year period starting in 2012. It re-opened as a public square in 2014.
