Description: Rugby Park is a modern all-seated stadium with a capacity of 18,128. The stadium has four stands all named after the compass directions. Even though it looks really modern, all stands have a pretty unique design and the stadium has a lot of features.

Brief History: Kilmarnock plays at this stadium since 1899 and during time, here, at Rugby Park, there were several matches that had record attendance of over 30,000. The stadium was renovated 3 times: once right after World War II, once in 1961 and last time, in the 1990s when it became all-seater. In 1995, the club’s first match on the new Rugby Park was against Blackburn Rovers, that were the English Champions at that time. In 2002 the Park Hotel was opened adiacent to the stadium. This is a great 4-star complex with fifty double bedrooms, bars and restaurants.
