Tynecastle

Story

Tynecastle Park is a football stadium situated in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh, Scotland, which is the home ground of Scottish Professional Football League club Heart of Midlothian. Tynecastle has a seating capacity of, which makes it the seventh largest football stadium in Scotland. Hearts have played at the present site of Tynecastle since 1886.HistoryAfter Hearts was formed in 1874, the club played at sites in the Meadows, Powburn and Powderhall. Hearts first moved to the Gorgie area, in the west of Edinburgh, in 1881. This pitch, known as "Tynecastle Park" or "Old Tynecastle", stood on the site of the present-day Wardlaw Street and Wardlaw Terrace. As this site was then regarded as being 'out of town', Hearts would sometimes stage two matches for the price of one, or set an admission price much lower than Edinburgh derby rivals Hibs. In 1886, with the city continuing to expand, tenements replaced the old ground and Hearts moved across Gorgie Road to the present site (also known as "Tynecastle Park", or "New Tynecastle"), which was leased from Edinburgh Corporation. Hearts played a friendly against Bolton Wanderers to inaugurate their new home on 10 April 1886. Tynecastle staged its first Scottish Football League match on 23 August 1890, when Hearts lost 5–0 to Celtic.

If you want to understand why Scottish Football means do much to its supporters, Tynecastle Park is the place. Tynecastle and Hearts are the heartbeat of this area of Edinburgh. The staff is amazing, friendly, and helpful. The food is just ok, and they did not offer adult beverages when we were there for the friendly with Spurs. The team shop has everything and the prices are decent.
Attended the Tynecastle museum & stadium tour. The best part of the tour was Jim Paris. He's such a knowledgeable and friendly host.
First rate stadium. Close to the pitch from the stands, which creates a really good atmosphere. Yes I'm a Hearts fan, but I have seen a huge number of matches across a range of stadiums and the intensity and match atmosphere compares very favourably to anywhere else I've been. Food isn't great, but which football stadiums do that very well.
First time in the new stand, good view of the pitch despite being up in the corner at the back. A star off for running out of scotch pies at half time, the kebab pie was...different.
Great place to watch a football match, friendly staffs and good team. The atmosphere was wonderful, the jambos spend their full energy and passion in it. Wonderful!
