I really don't think the atmosphere there is that great, and in recent years the view I've had has been rotten.
Fortunately it didn't matter too much with the cup final - I could hardly see by the time I got there anyway
The refurbishments of the 1990s should have saw it move with the times and be modernised properly. Instead they simply put seats on the old terraces and chucked a load of cash on the rebuilding of the South stand - the Welsh built an entire stadium for the same money. Fair enough it looked great as an athletics stadium at the commonwealth.
The end of the day the SRU refurbished Murrayfield and its a vastly superior set up. The rugger buggers got it right.
Hampden has masses of great history behind it, thats about the only reason for keeping it.
