Boothferry Park

Boothferry Park was a football stadium in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, which was the home of Hull City from 1946 until 2002. The ground's capacity varied throughout its history, but stood at 15,160 at the time of its closure. The Tigers moved into the newly built KC Stadium in the middle of the 2002–03 season. Following this, Boothferry Park was occupied solely by supermarkets Iceland and Kwik Save, both of whom had opened stores inside the ground's structure in the 1990s when the football club was struggling financially. The first parts of the stadium were demolished in early 2008, more than five years after the last professional game was played there. The demolition was completed in 2011, with residential housing now standing on the site of the old ground. The record attendance at Boothferry Park was set on 26 February 1949, when 55,019 spectators watched Hull face Manchester United in an FA Cup quarter-final. This remains the highest-ever attendance for a home match in the club's history. The stadium also occasionally hosted England youth internationals, as well as a singular senior international between Northern Ireland and Spain in 1972.
