The Robert Poirier Stadium, or Villejean Athletics Stadium, is an indoor athletics stadium, inaugurated on 5 July 2015 on the Villejean Campus at the University of Rennes. It is designed to develop sport excellence on campus. It is dependent on the University of Rennes 2 for resources. It accommodates 1200 spectators, including 734 seated.

The stadium originated during the development of the Campus de Ker Lann during the 1990s. Several covered multi-sport stadiums were planned there, but they were abandoned due to lack of funding. Only with the development of the Campus for Sport Excellence in Bretagne at the beginning of the 2010s did the project begin to be realized.
