Lyon to open new stadium aiming for the top of the game Saturday will be an historic day for Lyon as they open their new 59,000-seat stadium against bottom club Troyes. The ground in Lyon's eastern suburbs will be one of the venues for Euro 2016 and while most clubs in France rent stadiums from local authorities, Lyon have funded it themselves. It cost 450 million euros (£331 million; $484 million) but Lyon are hoping it can generate 70-100 million euros per year and therefore help them compete with the very best clubs in Europe once again.
