History

The motive for the move was to build a stadium that would allow the club entry to Scottish Premier League (Clubs were required to have a stadium with a seating capacity of at least ten thousand). The Building work on Excelsior Stadium was eventually completed in 1998 and Airdrieonians played here until the club went out of business due to heavy debts in May 2002.
