Hampden Park is Scotland’s national football stadium, located in Glasgow. Opened in 1903, it has been a historic venue for Scottish football and international competitions. It is the home of the Scotland national team and hosts the Scottish Cup final, as well as other major domestic and European matches.

With a seating capacity of around 51,000, Hampden was once the largest stadium in the world, attracting record-breaking crowds in the early 20th century. In 1937, it hosted 149,415 spectators for a Scotland vs. England match, still one of the highest attendances in football history.

The stadium has undergone several renovations to modernize its facilities, with major upgrades in the 1990s. It has also hosted other sports, including athletics during the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Then why is it the Stadium is the home of the Scotland team? A full house at a Scotland game is a fantastic atmosphere, then again I don't support Rangers or indeed Celtic.

Awful, awful stadium. No atmosphere, the distance and level from the pitch behind the goals is appalling. There's only one 5 star stadium in Scotland and that's Ibrox Stadium.
