Love Street (St Mirren's old ground) didn't get sold to Tesco. That was proposed at one time, but eventually it went to housing development. The new streets built there are mostly named after former St Mirren players.

The brick facade at Celtic park was added in 1988.

Hampden Park isn't far from closing down. It's not been looked after and isn't used enough. I think Euro 2028 might be the last time it's really used before all the big cup games and national sides move somewhere else like Murrayfield.

[@gordon1545]

Hampden is nowhere near closing down, the SFA bought it and are committed to it. It gets used plenty, it hosts 4 cup semi finals and 2 finals every year, plus around 7 men's internationals and a similar number of women's internationals, and while Queen's Park are in the second tier they're still based there. It also gets more concerts than Ibrox or Parkhead. The offices are home to the SFA, SPFL, SWPL, SWFL and a few others, and it hosts the Scottish football museum. It badly needs modernised around 3 sides but sadly the money isn't there to do it.

[@Philliben1991]

Hampden Park is better than Celtic Park. Celtic Park you can barely see the pitch from some areas, last time I was there I was sold a ticket for a seat that had been ripped out and the stadium internals are a bit shoddy and cheap. And I'll no doubt be accused of being a Blue Nose now, which I can assure you isn't the case, but Ibrox is an absolutely fantastic stadium. Shame about who fills it up though....

Paisley isn't a city by UK standards. It may be larger than even some UK cities (St Davids in Wales has a population of about 1710, so if sixty people stay home the rest can fit into the SMiSA away stand's capacity of 1650), but it's still only a town, in no small part thanks to Glasgow's proximity making efforts at city status mean that the performative nature of awarding it generally means they want to put new cities in places further away from existing ones.

Hampden park was smaller than Maracaná in the mid XXth Century

Yes, until the Maracana opened in 1950 Hampden was the biggest stadium in the world. It still holds all the European attendance records - domestic, international, European competition, finals, even amateur matches.

[@celt67]

Not much smaller. Hampden Park was once measured to hold 184,000. The official Maracana capacity was 199,000. Crowds ranging between 130,000 and 145,000 were standard back in the 1930s-1970s at Hampden Park. ( And even they were often rumoured to have crowds rushing turnstiles allowing for 10-15,000 additional people at some of the game ). Glasgow holds all the European attendance records.
