Hearts Stadium
Tynecastle is the Heart of Midlothian football ground. Previously a new stadium by Italy’s Massimiliano Fuksas Architects had been proposed. Hearts FC had stated an intention to build a “top class European stadium”. The stadium capacity was due to increase from just 17,000 to 26,000.
