It was definitely in need of an upgrade by the 1990s! 🏴
For 120 years, the Mount Florida landmark has been the spiritual home of Scottish football and bore witness to countless thrilling national team encounters, major cup ties, and, in more recent times, huge concerts and events.
Designed in an oval shape, which was common among Scottish football grounds of the era, with a grandstand and three vast, earthen terraces the new Hampden proved the perfect home for both Queen's Park and Scotland. In 1937 alone, the ground smashed two major attendance records. April saw Scotland defeat England 3-1 in front of an astonishing 149,415 spectators - a British record, while that same month the Scottish Cup Final was played between Celtic and Aberdeen with 146,433 in attendance. The latter remains a European record for a club match.
