SEC Armadillo
The SEC Armadillo (originally known as the Clyde Auditorium) is an auditorium located near the River Clyde, in Glasgow, Scotland. It is one of three venues on the Scottish Event Campus, which includes the SEC Centre and the OVO Hydro. History Plans for a new building to increase the capacity of the SECC complex were initiated in 1994.
