First-Hand Experience: I wasn't treated very well here. The Rugby game was thrilling, not because of the action, I don't like Rugby, but because of the intense, packed, passionate crowd watching their home team of Scotland. What. A Thrill. Just need to get to Hampden for a Scotland game now. Also, the employees of the stadium were not particularly friendly at all. So this is really a 5-star stadium, and the only reason it receives a deduction is (1) the stewards were very unfriendly to me, and (2) it doesn't have a footy team playing here. It's too good of a stadium not to. I'm really not into rugby, and when a facility like this doesn't have a team, it's just a shame. Hearts or a new team should play here, I would think. Or Scotland should play some games here. They did watch Hearts play a friendly here against Barcelona to a sell out 58k crowd, but come on, what about on the regular? Anyway, it's one of the crown jewels of Scotland and is truly impressive and modern with 67k people able to get in here, and it looks a lot like the San Siro.

For any Doctor Who actor with the exception of ... because really, no one liked him very much. And 3. The All Blacks. Yup. I'm a secret rugby junkie. And by secret, I mean not at all, because I will bring it up at every possible occasion. But when I found out the All Blacks were playing Scotland a mere few weeks after I landed in Edina? Well Edinburgh, you're officially stuck with me you beautiful, serendipitous devil. Here's what I learned at Murrayfield Stadium: 1. The Scottish rugby team is much better than I was expecting. Calm down. This doesn't mean I didn't love them from the beginning - i'm from Canada, have you SEEN our team? And I loved THEM. So shush - I like an underdog. What I mean is that Scotland held it's own against the All Blacks when I was expecting them to be crushed. Call me a new Scottish superfan... 2. Scotland is cold. Bring a sweater. 3. The line ups for the ladies toilets are as bad in Scotland as in Canada and you should definitely not wait until the last possible moment or you're going to be stuck uncomfortably dancing in line. 4. The food selection is surprisingly good for a stadium. Tip of the hat to the food trucks. 5. As is the beer. Though it will come in strange plastic sippy cup bottles that will make you feel like a teenager. 6. Bagpipes are always delightful. 7. Scottish fans are perhaps the nicest people in the world and will stick to the bitter end to applaud their team instead of ducking out in the last ten minutes to try and beat rush hour. It's nice. All in all, this was one of the most pleasant stadium visits to date. It's exceptionally busy and the line ups for everything are super long - but it's stadium. What did you expect? However, the decent beverage selection and promise of BBQ'ed meats, take this place up a notch. I look forward to many a fangirl moment here to come.

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 !!

He was set on getting a Heart of Midlothian Football Club jersey as a souvenir from Edinburgh and so we decided to head to the stadium's gift shop which is what this review will be based on. Their team store had possibly some of *the cutest* merchandise I've seen for a football club in terms of merch for the little ones. There were west highland terrier, dinosaur, and bear shaped stuffed animals. They had pop it toys, adorable westie pencil cases, and clothing just to name a few. For the older crowd, they had a wide range of items that included your typical jerseys, keychains, apparel to nicer items like stainless steel water bottles, coffee mugs and tumblers, and a mix of candies. They didn't have my husband's size available in the jersey that he wanted, but he was able to snag some shorts as a souvenir which is a successful trip in my book! Definitely recommend a stop here if you're a football fan and wanting some Heart of Midlothian souvenirs!

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I believe that other than Celtic Park, Tynecastle is up there with Dundee United as the most intense atmosphere in Scotland. I've now seen 4 games here (including one when I was still a teenager), and it's left a permanent mark on me. It's a thrill to be in here. It's dark and imposing, it's intense and cauldron-like. It's the heart and soul of Edinburgh football. Everyone was very nice to me (even Hibs fans in town), and I can't think of a club other than the Old Firm and DUFC that inspires more intense passion from supporters than HM1874. Yes they have been around that long. I was most recently here at Tynecastle just last year in late 2014, and will be visiting again in 2016. It needs a bit of a facelift but it's still 5 stars all the way from me. 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 *** Anyway, Tynecastle is one of the great stadiums of British football. It's grand and intense and has a wonderful atmosphere, with the third highest average crowd of any club in Scotland. It probably has the best atmosphere of any club in Scotland. It holds 17k and has been around since 1886. It has a beautiful big illuminated Hearts mosaic badge on the outside of it. Bravo. Scotland played many games here as recently as 2003. In 2004, the owners tried to sell the stadium but the "Save Our Hearts" campaign saved it. In other news, it's Gorgie-ous.

It was one of only 3 Scottish stadiums I went to as a kid. We were standing up and it was pretty freezing and hellish but still fun. Then I saw Motherwell play here again during the 00s when I was at college in Oxford. They'd jazzed up the ground a bit and the supporters were louder than ever. I have been back twice this decade, in 2011 and 2014, neither time to see a game, but both times to relive old memories. The stadium looks as old as always... if it ever gets a major face lift I might give it five stars, because I love this team. But it certainly is a place that generates a fantastic atmosphere and I feel lucky to have been here.

So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** Motherwell's stadium holds almost 14k people and has been around since the old days of 1895. It's not too far from Glasgow but let's not hold that against it. It's a big, awesome stadium although the corners are open and they need to fill those in to improve the atmosphere. It's coloured beautiful red and yellow like the team. The Scottish Women's Football Team calls this stadium home, too.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
