Description
Lesser Hampden stands next to the main Hampden Park and features seating areas alongside a modern artificial grass pitch for football matches. The facility includes changing rooms and coaching areas for different uses.
History
The facility opened in 1924 after Queen's Park Football Club purchased farmland on the western side of Hampden. The original farmhouse on the land was converted into the club's buildings.
Culture
The stadium plays a role in Scottish football development by hosting reserve team matches and providing training space for younger players throughout the year. It serves as a stepping stone for athletes progressing through the ranks.
