The Porcupine Palace, capacity 107,800, is the home ground of Bedistani football club Alexandria Porcupines FC. Completed in October 2079, it will be first used by the Porcupines in 2080. The stadium replaces Alexandria's old venue, Setting Sun Field, which had been in use since 2007. Setting Sun's 70,498 seats were adjudged to be insufficient for a team of Alexandria's stature in the modern era. Many believe that the club only decided to construct a new stadium after seeing Floral FC's new stadium and deciding that their rivals should not be able to one-up them in that regard.

The stadium was designed by Progressan stadium architects S.A.D. (Steel As Decoration). Its unique spiked roof is meant to resemble the spikes of a porcupine in honor of the stadium's primary tenants. Its abundance of blue and red reflects the official team colors.

The Porcupine Palace is not strictly related to football; indeed, its design lends itself well to a variety of sports and other events.
