Ibrox Stadium's 50,817 capacity makes it the second-largest all-seater in Scotland, but its listed Bill Struth Main Stand, dating from 1929, adds historic gravitas that the Etihad (#7) lacks entirely, offering a tangible link to football's architectural heritage. The stadium recorded an attendance density of 98.3% for the 2024 Old Firm derby, exceeding Celtic Park's 95.1% for the same fixture—a gap highlighting its intense local loyalty. With 34 title-winning campaigns played within its walls, Ibrox boasts a championship per 1,495 seats ratio, the best of any ground on this list, and its steep upper tiers remain the model for atmospheric design, producing 112 dB during key moments. The 2023 safety upgrade added 1,200 hospitality seats, boosting match-day revenue by 15% while preserving the original facade, a balance modern venues often fail to achieve.
