The Ground
Almondvale Stadium, nestled in the heart of Livingston on Alderstone Road, stands as one of Scotland’s most distinctive modern football venues. Since opening in 1995, it has been the proud home of Livingston FC and a symbol of the town’s sporting identity. Purpose-built during a period of rapid growth for the club and the community, the stadium has grown into more than just a football ground, it’s a focal point for local pride, progress, and passion.
Though often affectionately referred to as the Tony Macaroni Arena in sponsorship terms, Almondvale remains known by fans and locals alike by its original name, a nod to its deep roots in the Livingston area. With a capacity of around 9,500, the stadium combines the intimacy of a close-knit atmosphere with the infrastructure of a professional arena. Four enclosed stands surround the pitch, offering excellent sightlines and shelter, ensuring supporters are close to the action in all conditions.
Set within Livingston’s Almondvale district, the stadium benefits from its central location, surrounded by shops, cafes, and the nearby Livingston Designer Outlet. It’s easily accessible by road and public transport, with on-site parking and rail links from Edinburgh and Glasgow making it a convenient destination for supporters across Scotland.
