About Celtic Park Stadium
Often known as Parkhead or Paradise to fans, Celtic Park is Scotland’s biggest football stadium with a capacity of 60,411 - a capacity that also makes it the eighth-largest stadium in the whole of the UK. The original Parkhead was built in 1888, and Celtic moved to the current stadium in 1892. It was extensively redeveloped during the early 1990s, at a cost of £40 million.
