History
|
Celtic Park stadium is the home of
Celtic F.C. football team in Glasgow, Scotland. The all-seater
stadium (also known as 'Paradise' and 'Parkhead') has a capacity
of 60,506 and is the largest football stadium in Scotland and is
currently the second-largest club ground in the UK (after Old
Trafford).
Celtic moved from the original Celtic Park to the present ground
in 1892. The stadium has undergone numerous redevelopements,
most recently in the mid 1990s. Now Celtic Park completely
encircles the pitch and consists of a double tiered stand which
stands around 3/4 of the pitch and a single tier main stand,
which contains the Celtic museum.
In 1938, Celtic Park saw its largest attendance of 92,000 when
Celtic played Rangers. In a recent poll by the BBC, Celtic Park
was voted as the "most atmospheric sports venue in the UK".
Tours of the stadium are available. |
