Celtic Park

History

Celtic Park has been the club's home since 1892, when the club relocated from a neighbouring ground, also named Celtic Park, due to a rent dispute. When the stadium was built there were countless supporters and volunteers that all helped with the backbreaking labour. The process to get the stadium built took around 6 months in total as they had to dig up all the ground and rubble in order to make the pitch that we all know today. The first ever game played at Celtic Park was on 13th of August 1892 against a team called Renton which Celtic came out on top with a 4-3 victory.

Celtic Park is known to be the biggest club stadium in Scotland and is ranked highly for biggest in the United Kingdom. The stadium was initially built in an oval shape with a cycling track around the edges. The first stand that was built for the stadium was a wooden stand that could only fit a small number of supporters. Four years later the club made an investment that put Celtic Park on the map. They added the first ever double decker stand at a football ground which helped increase the capacity to over 50,000

Additions to the Stadiums

Celtic park over the years have had many new additions made to it. However, most recently they have introduced a new light show to improve the experience for their supporters. The lights on the stadiums haven’t been changed in over 20 years but believe me…this was worth the wait. This entertainment system is costing Celtic around £2.3 million who have promised that it will be better then Ajax’s Amsterdam Arena, which is often said to be ‘the best show in European football’. Just one of the lights has 225 bulbs in it alone which shows the monumental scale that this addition has been. To experience the show in person is honestly very special and I would recommend anyone that can attend it should but for the people that cant you can watch this short video from YouTube here. 


 


Food and Drink

Usually the food and drinks at football matches consist of pies and hot drinks however Celtic do still offer these to there fans just wanting a small bit to eat during the game, they are also offer a restaurant in the stadium. Number 7 is a restaurant experience offering gourmet food as well as a selection of wines, beers and soft drinks. This experience is enhanced as you can enjoy your meals while gazing over the beautiful stadium that is Celtic Park. The prices of the restaurant are also a major attraction for people as Adults can have a three course meal for £28 whereas kids can have three course for £13.

History On February 19, 1910, Old Trafford made its grand entrance. The first game played there was between Manchester United and Liverpool FC, a match that has come to symbolize the fierce competition of the Premier League. United unfortunately lost this game, as the visitors prevailed 4-3. It was a wonderful day despite the loss. On this day, the 80,000-seat Old Trafford stadium opened to the public and the stadium's history began. Old Trafford is located near Trafford Park Industrial Centre, so this meant that World War 2 had a massive effect on the stadium.

 History  The stadium was initially constructed in Manchester for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. It was planned that Manchester City Football Club would take over the venue after the Commonwealth Games were over and use it as their new home field in place of Moss Side's Maine Road stadium. Following the conclusion of the Commonwealth Games, the stadium underwent additional development, including the construction of a new North Stand and the relocation of the running track. The original lower tier was extended around the end where the temporary stand had been, and the pitch was lowered to make room for the current lower tier. This huge project added 10,000 additional seats and took a full year to complete. Restaurants and meeting spaces were among the additional new facilities that were installed. New Additions to the Stadium  In 2014 the Etihad Stadium went under construction to increase the capacity of the stadium. The plans were to add a total of 8,250 extra seats to the stad
