20  The city Stadium: The Home of Queen's Park Football Club 

In 1903, Queen's Park Football Club moved to 3rd Hampden, creating one of the world’s most iconic football stadiums.

Queen's Park purchased this ground in 1923 when they needed additional land for their reserve and youth teams. The convenient location was adjacent to the main 3rd Hampden stadium.

Their purchase was the remaining part of Clincart Farm, which was previously sold off to make way for the new public Park, Queen's Park, in 1857.

The new Lesser Hampden stadium was opened in 1925 and could hold 12,000 spectators

​

Through the decades, this was used extensively, including being requisitioned during World War 2, during periods of renovation of the 3rd Hampden Park and as a warm-up track for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The Clincart farm building was used as a pavilion and changing rooms until 2013, when they were closed due to safety concerns, and subsequently demolished.

In 2013, the J. B. McAlpine Pavilion was opened to honour the club's record goalscorer of 163 goals during a 473-game playing career.

Queen's Park played their senior football at 3rd Hampden until May 2020, when the Scottish Football Association purchased the national stadium.

Subsequently, Queen's Park laid out plans to build their new ground on the Lesser Hampden Site, and opened their new city Stadium on Saturday, 12th August 2023, with Queen's Park beating Arbroath 2-1.
