A New Hampden

Hampden Park was the largest stadium in the world until 1950, when the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro was completed. After the release of the Taylor Report in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster, among other football tragedies, Hampden Park was converted to an all-seater. The need to improve safety as well as protect crowds from the Scottish weather led to its most recent renovation in the late 1990s; and the stadium was re-opened on the May 14, 1999. The current capacity is 52,103. Year 1950 (MCML) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The design of the stadium has been criticised, particularly due to its oval design, which means that supporters sitting in the areas of the stands behind the goals are a long distance from the pitch, especially when sitting towards the top of the stand (similar to the old Wembley Stadium). In addition to this, many criticise the stadium's design, as it is less steep than other modern stadiums. The uncompleted Watkins Tower was on the original Wembley site prior to the stadiums construction. ...


The Hampden Roar

The crowd who came to see football matches at Hampden were renowned for creating the Hampden Roar. The noise created was said to terrify opposing teams who came to play there. With capacity at the ground exceeding six figures from the early 1900s until the 1980s, the Roar could be heard several miles away from the stadium. In recent times the roar has said to be more muted, with the capacity of the stadium being reduced from its heyday.


The Hampden Roar is also used, colloquially, as a rhyming slang phrase. People (mainly in Glasgow and the West Coast of Scotland) may ask "what's the Hampden Roar?" or "what's the Hampden?" meaning, "what's the score?" The phrase can also be used outwith footballing contexts.
