context_page_description: Glanford Park, currently known as The Sands Venue Stadium for sponsorship reasons, is a football stadium in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, and is the current home of Scunthorpe United.
  Opened in 1988 at a construction cost of £2.5 million, it was the first new purpose-built Football League stadium to be built in England for 33 years, since Southend United moved to Roots Hall in 1955.
  The stadium is Scunthorpe's second ground, with the Iron having previously played at the Old Show Ground from 1899 to 1988. The ground's record attendance was set at 9,077 for a Carling Cup Third Round tie against Manchester United on 22 September 2010.
  On 30 July 2019, the club signed a stadium naming-rights deal, and the stadium was renamed ‘The Sands Venue Stadium’ for the 2019/20 League Two season.
context_section_description: The SPB stand (formerly the Scunthorpe Telegraph Stand) is the West side stand, and is the ground's main stand. It runs along the entire length of the pitch and is fully seated.
  The two southernmost blocks of seating are marketed as the club's family area. To the rear of the stand are the club's various executive suites. These include a restaurant which is open throughout the week, a set of executive boxes, the Sir Ian Botham Executive Lounge and the Legends Lounge, which occupies the south-west corner. Members of the media are allocated a small area of seating at the rear of the stand, and a television gantry is also positioned within the roof space.
  The players’ tunnel is located centrally within this stand, with the team dugouts being located on either side of the opening. The dressing rooms are naturally all located within this stand.
  Other facilities located within this stand include the club's main offices, ticket office, club shop and sports injury clinic.
