Football
In October 2014, the stadium flooded twice as over 30 centimeters (12 inches) of rain fell in Montpellier. The stadium and pitch were damaged, and this resulted in Montpellier HSC relocating for 5 fixtures during the 2014–15 season (4 Ligue 1 matches and 1 Coupe de la Ligue match) to the Altrad Stadium, until repairs had been made to the stadium. The relocation lasted for the remainder of 2014, the first fixture on 28 October, and the last being 13 December.[2] The flooding caused Montpellier to cancel their 40-year anniversary celebration.[citation needed]
