Glanford Park is a football stadium in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, England, and is the current home of Scunthorpe United.
Opened in 1988 at a construction cost of £2.5 million, Glanford Park was the first new purpose-built stadium to be built in 33 years, since Southend United moved to Roots Hall in 1955.
The stadium is Scunthorpe’s second ground, with the Iron having previously played at the Old Showground from 1899 to 1988. The ground’s record attendance was set at 9,077 for a Carling Cup Second Round tie against Manchester United on 22 September 2010.
