Celtic Park
About
Celtic Park, affectionately known as "Paradise" or "Parkhead", is the iconic football stadium of Celtic FC in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. Opened in 1892, the ground has hosted an eclectic mix of events beyond football, including concerts by The Who and U2, as well as the opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. With a current capacity of 60,411, it remains the largest club stadium in Scotland and the eighth‑largest in the United Kingdom, boasting four distinct stands – the North, Jock Stein (West), Lisbon Lions (East) and the Main (South) – the latter featuring modern rail seating and executive boxes. The stadium has evolved from its original oval shape to the contemporary rectangular layout we see today, providing a world‑class blend of historic charm and modern amenities for fans and visitors alike.
