Hampden Park (1908-1950) The largest football ground in the world

Between 1906 and 1973 Hampden Park in Glasgow hosted attendances of over 100,000 at 92 football matches. It set five progressive world records for the largest attendance at a game. It established other records, several of which are still held. The story starts with an amateur club, Queen’s Park FC, identifying land on the southside of the city with the vision of building this huge ground. It ends in the 1980s when the ground began the next stage of its life and appearance.
