The stadium, which was one of the venues for the Games of the Olympiad in 1948, was designed by the Scottish stadium architect Archibald Leitch. It opened with only one stand. The stadium’s record attendance of 51,000 was set in 1979, when Crystal Palace Football Club defeated Burnley Football Club 2-0. Crystal Palace FC were founded in 1905. In 1961, they broke the record attendance for an English fourth-level football match, when 37,000 people showed up for their game against Millwall FC.
