History

Formerly called 'le stade de la Pepiniere' the ground was built and opened in 1899 and sits within the medieval castle walls of the city. In 1919 the rugby club paid 95,000 francs for the site then sold it to the local council a year later. The council built the two main stands that run along the length of the pitch each able to hold 3,000 spectators, floodlights and a cycle track were also installed. The stadium has been renovated twice since in 2002 and in 2012. The ground is named after the former AS Carcassonne and French international player Albert Domec who played as a centre during the 1920s, and 30s. The stadium has a bronze statue of Carcassonne's most famous player, former captain of the French national rugby league team, Puig Aubert at its entrance.The record attendance at the ground is 23,500 for the French rugby league championship Final in 1949 between AS Carcassonne and Marseille XIII
