Excelsior Stadium
The Excelsior Stadium (currently known as Penny Cars Stadium) is located in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is the home ground of Airdrieonians FC since 1998, who were returning to Airdrie four years after leaving their previous ground, Broomfield Park. The name of the stadium derives from Airdrieonians’ original name, the club having been founded as Excelsior F.C. in 1878. Originally known as the Shyberry Excelsior Stadium (after Shyberry Design Ltd. who had sponsored the construction), the stadium is also sometimes unofficially referred to as New Broomfield, after the former Airdrie ground. Following the liquidation of the original Airdrieonians in 2002, the Excelsior Stadium became home to the new Airdrie United F.C.; they subsequently revived the Airdrieonians name.
