Sighthill Stadium

Last updated

Sighthill Stadium was a proposed stadium to be located in the Sighthill district of Edinburgh, Scotland. It would have been a multi-use stadium hosting a number of sports, principally athletics and rugby. [1] Edinburgh Rugby were considered key potential tenants. In the published plans the new stadium was due to replace Meadowbank Stadium, which would have been sold off for housing. [1] The scheme ran into difficulties due to opposition to the sale of Meadowbank. [2] [3]
