Hmm. Depends on the gender of the majority of the fans I suppose. Who am I kidding though. Rugby Park actually is home to football... and what a football team it is. This stadium is the only place in the world you can get a "Killie Pie" which sounds lethal but is actually delicious and was voted the best pie at any football stadium anywhere. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've seen Kilmarnock play here twice. Once was against a smaller team from the northern reaches, and once was against an Old Firm team. It was similarly loud and intense and raucous for both games, which really impresses me. Any club can put out a big crowd for an Old Firm game or a big name visitor. But KIllie does it every single week, regardless of weather. I tried the Killie Pie and oh my goodness no wonder it's Britain's best pie. The girl that most recently brought me here (2011) was a little angel and shared my pie with me and made sure I had a great time with all the rough lads. One of my best footy experiences in Bonnie Scotland. So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** Elton John played here once, but you can't have everything. It can hold 18k fans and has artificial grass. It was built in 1899 and then renovated in 1995, before hosting Blackburn Rovers, whose striker Alan Shearer scored a hat trick in that game. The stadium hosted a Scottish rugby game so finally the name came true. Scotland have played football here 4 times, most recently losing to Wales in 1997. The stadium was used in the film A Shot At Glory with Robert Duvall, and Ally McCoist used to play here. It needs to fill in its corners but I'll still give it a 5 for the pies.

Horrible, terrible venue for a gig ! Went to see Pink on Friday 28th June…read more Let's start with the seating on either side of the stage (the east and west stands). The seating is so shallow that you're miles from stage and can see very little unless you watch the big screens. Then there's the toilet facilities - I went with my partner and 2 daughters in what was a predominantly female weighted audience and the queues for the female toilets were 20-25 minutes. Not a surprise really as this is a football stadium which, despite recent events, is still a predominantly male attended sport ! Refreshments - well you had to queue twice, one area for alcohol (and water), the other for food and soft drinks ! Seriously ?? And the choice ? Tennents lager (boggin), cider or wine ???? It's dark ages at Hampden !! Finally, it's location. 3.5 miles from Glasgow centre, it takes an hour to walk from the railway station that serves most of the rest of Scotland. Public transport is limited to buses that crawl through the crowd on leaving and a local train that you'll need to queue for an hour to catch and goes to a different station !! Compared to Murrayfield (20 minutes walk to the city centre and 2 mainline railway stations), Sunderland's SOL (loads of toilets right outside the stadium that can be accessed during the gig) and Tottenham (great selection of food and drinks) Hampden is a dinosaur. Artists should avoid at all costs !!

How has no one reviewed this yet?! So I've been to Emirates a few time now and seen the basketball…read moretwice (Go Rocks) as well as cycling at the velodrome. I know there's more to Emirates than that, but I feel like I've properly experienced sporting events here and the arena. And wow, it is amazing. It's new, shiny, clean and pretty industrial looking but without an unpleasant cold feeling to it. The events I've been to here are well organised, there are always lots of staff around who are friendly and helpful. On our most recent visit we got a Clyde souvenir for my nephew back in Australia from the gift shop, the guy working there was really friendly and had good chat. I didn't even mind that they don't have card facilities here yet (it's been open at least 6 months) so you get your card put through the old-school manual machines. It made me laugh to be honest, I did feel sorry for him though as he seemed a bit embarrassed. The velodrome has great seating and is a brilliant place to watch cycling - a sport I previously had no interest in whatsoever, but we thought we'd head along to check it out. The basketball is also really good and has great facilities for disabled seating, you still get a really great view even though you're at the back on the top level. The food and drink is reasonably priced too, not like most other sporting events you go to. I can't wait for the Commonwealth Games and will be vying for tickets to as many events as possible, especially here at the Emirates. I noticed when we were leaving the cycling that they had buses to take people back into town. I have no idea if these are free, but they must be quite handy as Emirates could be difficult to get to otherwise (unless by car). Looking at the website, there is also a Glasgow Life gym here and a spa. It pretty much has everything ... apart from card facilities and a cash machine!

The centre is big spacious and modern. Lots of changing rooms and plenty of access for disabled people. I was also lucky enough to get tickets to the velodrome during the commonwealth games (where we saw sir Chris Hoy, I couldn't take my eyes of his thighs ) I was warned before going about the extreme temperatures and wore light clothing and took a fan, which was much needed. It was an amazing experience, I didn't have a clue of the rules but it was exhilarating to watch and believe me the New Zealand team in lycra was an added treat.. Would highly recommend.

I don't like to towel dry, I like to Airdrie…read more First-Hand Experience: I came here as a guest, to shower. They were exceptionally friendly, and showed me around, told me about the facilities, and sold themselves very well. They asked me to come back any time, and would not charge me as a guest even though there was supposed to be a fee. Scotland is very good about things like this. Lovely little leisure center. I've only used this leisure centre once, and that was as a guest when I needed a shower. But they have really great facilities, very impressive and modern, not what I was expecting at all. They were also extremely friendly. Their hours are a bit limited hence the 4 stars, but the community loves this centre and rightly so. They also have a kid's play area.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - This was one of those stadiums I dragged my Dad to when I was a kid, and he was driving us around Scotland looking for Lochs and monsters in his BMW. Actually, we had friends just outside Clydebank, so after Dad allowed me to stop here for all of 5 mins, I had his friend's son (who was probably around 18) bring me back here and even took me inside. It was a really great memory. We played "tag" on the terraces (I think he let me win) and totally trespassed. I remember thinking the place looked a bit more like a building site. I give it 3 for the memories but I am not surprised at all that it was demolished because it was a death trap. *** return to regular review *** From 1939 to 1996 this was the home of the Clydebank football team, who then ceased to exist and are sorely missed. I won't create a Yelp listing for them, but hopefully they'll come back to life someday and I can put them on the map then. I have visited this place but never saw Clydebank play so it wouldn't be good to review them maybe. It once had 15k fans but usually had 10k. Kilbowie was the first all seater stadium in the UK. The current incarnation of the team is a junior team. The senior team no longer exists. The museum in Hampden Park has some of the rubble of the stadium on display. Vico Properties bought the land, bulldozed the stadium and turned it into the Kilbowie Retail Park.

Similarly, if you are a SeaLion and you do cool things to impress onlookers, then you do SealTricks. But seriously, Celtic is one of the great teams of the whole world, let alone the UK. The biggest club in Scotland on every level, playing in a palace of a 60k stadium, which includes a Graveyard so hardcore fans can be buried here! That's how much Celtic means. First-Hand Experience: this is my fave club in Scotland, and one of my 10 fave clubs in the world. I've seen them live at this stadium many times, I've also seen them away from home at Anfield (Liverpool), other Scottish clubs, and even in Cleveland Browns Stadium facing Boca Juniors. I can't really count the number of times I've watched them play but it's been around a dozen or more. Most recently was 2014. They're a wonderful club with wonderful fans. Being inside Celtic Park is one of the best stadium experiences for any fan anywhere. Plus they are linked to my fave team Liverpool in many ways and to my mother's homeland of Ireland. So they mean a lot to me. Watching them is a religious experience - and yes that is an in-joke. Since religion is so heavily linked to this club and Rangers. Celtic (pronounced Seyll-takk in the local accent, and never Kel-tic, ever) are bitter rivals of Rangers, and the religious element means the hatred runs deep. The Irish were always the outcasts and underdogs but when it comes to football they are the big boy. Rangers has won more Scottish League titles, but Celtic is bigger in every other way. They play in famous green and white hoops. The stadium is in the rough East End of town. I had a gun pointed at me outside their stadium. Since their first game in 1888, they have never been relegated, which is very impressive, especially now that Rangers were demoted and so Celtic are the only team not to be relegated. They have won the Scottish League 46 times and are the current champs. They're within 10 of Rangers' record. They've won the Scottish Cup 36 times and the League Cup 15 times. In 1967 they amazingly became the first British team to win the European Cup, with Manchester United, Liverpool (4 times in a few years) and Nottingham Forest following suit within a decade or so. They were runners up in the 1970 European Cup and in the 2003 UEFA Cup, meaning they have reached 3 major European finals, winning one. In 67 they had beaten Inter Milan in the final, whereas in 70 they lost to Feyenoord at the San Siro. Their greatest managers include Martin O'Neill who got them to the UEFA Cup Final, and Neil Lennon who got Celtic to a few Champions League knockout phases. Celtic's club magazine is the oldest in the football world, from 1965. There are supposedly 9 million Celtic fans around the world including 1 million in the US and Canada. Like Liverpool, they sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" before every game, and they never will.

It's shocking that it has taken me to my 47th review to do this one, but here it finally is. Over…read morethe past decade or two I have been to Celtic Park literally hundreds of times, so you now know up front that clearly I am a fan. Having been to football grounds as famous as Anfield, Old Trafford, the Nou Camp, etc, I can certainly state that Celtic Park is on a par with any of these places. What sets it apart is the 5 star atmosphere created by the supporters who are known for producing the noise to help push the team over the line during important matches. Get yourself along to a match to sample the atmosphere, a champions league match is particularly recommended if you can get a ticket. Alternatively you can do the museum tour. I have done it a few times now with friends who have come to visit Glasgow. You get to hear about the famous history of Celtic and see parts of the stadium you normally would not have access to.
