95 Years of Murrayfield Stadium

That the Parliament commemorates the 95th anniversary of the inaugural match at Murrayfield Stadium, the home of Scottish Rugby, which took place on 21 March 1925; notes that England were the first team to visit, with 70,000 people watching Scotland win both the match and the country's first Five Nations Championship Grand Slam; recognises that the stadium now has a seated capacity of 67,144, which is the largest in Scotland, but that its record attendance of 104,000 was set on 1 March 1975, when Scotland defeated Wales 12–10 during the 1975 Five Nations Championship and that this attendance stood as a world record until 1999; understands that, during the Second World War, the stadium was taken over by the Royal Army Service Corps and used as a supply depot and that, for decades since, Murrayfield has not only hosted rugby matches but also various other large events including, American football matches, association football matches and music concerts by artists such as David Bowie, Oasis and Madonna, and wishes Murrayfield and Scottish Rugby every success for the years ahead.
