A suburb in the north-west of the city and, to most of the world, the home ground of Sheffield Wednesday since 1899. The stadium's name is also inseparable from the Hillsborough disaster of 15 April 1989, when a crush at the Leppings Lane end during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest killed 97 people. A memorial stands outside the ground. Hillsborough Park next door hosts the main Tramlines stages each July.
