Dayton Rugby Grounds (DRG) is 12.5 acres rugby facility in north Dayton adjacent to Shiloh Park. DRG has two full sized pitches, changing rooms, bathrooms, concessions and a maintenance building Dayton rugby teams have dreamed of a home for rugby since 1975. It was discussed and considered for many years and during the “Great Recession” of the late 2000s a movement towards land purchase began as land price dropped in Dayton. The Property Committee visited over 20 possible sites of the thousands they had looked at on the internet. One of the sites was Riverdale Baseball Park. In early January 2011 a presentation by the property committee lead Dayton Area Rugby Club, DARC to vote to donate the money to purchase DRG. DRG is now the home for Rugby football, rugby in the Dayton area. See also * Rugby union in the United States References External links Dayton Area Rugby Club website

Rugby Football
Rugby football is the collective name for the team sports of rugby union and rugby league. Canadian football and, to a lesser extent, American football were once considered forms of rugby football, but are seldom now referred to as such.

Sports Venues In Dayton, Ohio
Sport pertains to any form of competitive physical activity or game that aims to use, maintain, or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants and, in some cases, entertainment to spectators. Sports can, through casual or organized participation, improve participants' physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest (a ''match'') is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser.
