Hampden Park

Hampden Park

Hampden Park is a football stadium located in the Florida district of Glasgow's southeastern corner in Scotland. Since October 31, 1903, it has been the home ground of Queen's Park. As Scotland's national stadium, it has a maximum capacity of 52,063 spectators. It is the home of the Scotland national football team and the amateur Scottish Football League club Queen's Park. The venue is often used for the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup matches; it also hosts concerts and various other events.

This is an ancient and glorious stadium. As one of Europe’s five-star stadiums, Hampden Park holds a unique legend. Since its construction, Hampden Park has possessed all the conditions to become world-renowned: spanning 33 acres, with majestic architecture that leaves a striking impression both outside and in. The stands were designed by the famed architect Archibald Leitch, a legendary Scottish architect who had an inseparable bond with the stadium. He was also closely associated with several iconic stadiums in England, such as Highbury, Anfield, Old Trafford, and White Hart Lane.

In the early 20th century, the newly renovated Hampden Park was considered one of the most modern stadiums in the world. Its design and capacity were repeatedly cited as benchmarks throughout the 20th century. In UEFA’s documentation on five-star stadiums, Hampden Park’s capacity is listed as 52,000; however, originally, the stadium could accommodate an astonishing 150,000 fans.
