The Quidditch World Cup Stadium was a Quidditch stadium built for the 422nd Quidditch World Cup in 1994. Built in the middle of a large deserted moor, the Quidditch stadium was capable of holding 100,000 wizards at once, with halls draped in scarlet. The Ministry of Magic spent months preparing for it, first finding the site, then preparing it for the Quidditch World Cup. There were many different Muggle-repellent charms on it, such as causing the Muggles to suddenly remember urgent appointments when they got too near the site.
This also ended up becoming the site of a major attack by the Death Eaters. The night after the match, a large group of death eaters in long robes and masks marched through the campsites, magically levitating all Muggles upside-down. The Ministry officials on site desperately tried to subdue the Death Eaters, but were unsuccessful. The uprising eventually ended when Barty Crouch Jr. conjured the Dark Mark, with Harry Potter’s wand, frightening the Death Eaters into thinking that Lord Voldemort was back.
It is unknown what became of the stadium after the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
