Host to track and field events
Located in the Southern Venue Cluster, Hampden Park will play host to track and field events during the games. Hampden will also host our closing ceremony.

The famous ‘Hampden Roar’ has inspired generations of the world’s best footballers to achieve great things. In 2014 it will be the cream of the world’s athletes who will be inspired by our Scottish passion.

In keeping with Scotland’s reputation for innovation, our plans for Hampden are exciting and unique. A specially created platform will ‘infill’ the stadium, allowing us to lay down an international standard athletics track. After the games, the platform will be removed and Hampden will revert back to being the home of Scottish Football.

These plans have already been approved by the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF), and we are sure will meet with the approval of the athletes, the 46,000 spectators and the millions of fans watching around the world.

It will be spectacular. It will be exhilarating. It will be an experience that will never be forgotten.
