HAMPDEN PARK

GRB-1869

Hampden Park in Glasgow is Scotland's national stadium. Its primary use is as the home to Queen's Park F.C., the Scotland national football team and Scottish cup finals. It is also used for music concerts and other sporting events.

Hampden was built in 1903, though all signs of the original stadium are long gone. It celebrated its centenary on 31 October 2003. The stadium also houses the offices of the Scottish Football Association, SPL and Scottish Football League. Hampden has hosted prestigious sporting events, including three Champions League finals and a UEFA Cup final. It held UEFA five-star stadium status which was superseded by a new system of classification.

Glasgow was officially selected as the host city for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in November 2007 and Hampden will be the key stadium. It will host football games during the early stages of the commonwealth football tournament and it will also host the athletics track and field events.
