Glanford Park, currently known as The Attis Arena for sponsorship reasons, is a football stadium in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, and is the home of National League team 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 9,086 in a National League North play-off final tie against Chester F.C. on 18 May 2025.

Glanford Park was bought on 29 November 2023 by The New Show Ground Community Interest Company, the creation of local born barrister Tahina Akther. The New Show Ground Community Interest Company is a not for profit entity, allowing Glanford Park to be held for the benefit of the community.

Between 2019 and 2022, the stadium was renamed the Sands Venue Stadium as part of a sponsorship deal. The stadium has been officially known as the Attis Arena since 6 January 2024, when the naming rights were purchased by Leeds-based company Attis Insurance Brokers.
