Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Ross County FC | Opening: 1929 | Capacity: 6,541 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Global Energy Stadium, better known as Victoria Park, was built in 1929 at the same time when Ross County got formed out of predecessor Dingwall Victors.<\/p>\n

Over its history, Victoria Park remained a very modest ground with a record crowd reported to be 8,000 for a Scottish Cup match against Rangers in 1966.<\/p>\n

In 2012, when the club promoted to the SPL, Victoria Park could only hold 2,700, which meant it had to get expanded. As a result a new all-seater stand got built behind the goal and the east stand got extended over the entire side.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the stadium got renamed Global Energy Stadium.<\/p>\n
