My gut reaction is that £14m isn’t close to what is needed, although this is only from Glasgow City Council and I dare say they could attempt to source funding from elsewhere too. Euro 2028: Hampden could be in line for £14m windfall if UK & Ireland bid wins https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63519445 If inflation continues as at present until 2028 then £14m would only be enough for some extra turnstiles (which tbf would be a big improvement). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think £14m would be enough to redevelop both ends but it might be enough to improve the transport links and reduce running costs by sticking a load of solar panels on the roof 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It's between £9M and £14M from all sources IIRC. Reportedly to improve and/or increase executive boxes & suites plus refurbish serveries, external cladding, access ways and maybe renew seating etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I'm pretty sure that some architects could make a plan to redesign the interior of Hampden - install new seating etc. Remove all seating to reveal a 'blank canvas' for the arty and skilful types to design. Personally the bigger British grounds are way better than Wembley and Hampden. Murrayfield I like, the new ground outside for Edinburgh perfect for them. What if a big sponsor could get naming rights for Hampden, may help the costs involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Interesting. They seem to have flattened the slope down from Somerville Drive as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full stadium pipe dream design may have been an effort to make the cost of the extension look insignificant https://www.holmesmiller.com/architecture#sports 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 'We know we have a problem from a roof perspective.' What a twallie. Still, if you can get the Evil Twins' B teams into the SPFL at the 8th attempt, everything will be fine, eh, Maxwell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not to say I don’t think the SFA are totally incompetent though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
