Pittodrie Stadium
2018/19
Pittodrie Stadium was first used in 1899 and from 1903 has been
the home of Aberdeen FC. Since then, it has been the location of a
number of firsts in the field of stadium design, notably becoming the
first all-seater stadium in the United Kingdom and the first club to use
a dugout. It is now one of the largest stadium’s in Scotland and has
a seating capacity of 20,866. In addition to its main duty of hosting
home matches for Aberdeen FC, it has also been the venue for a
number of Scottish International matches and occasional games of
rugby. It can also be used for concerts, with Rod Stewart playing most
recently.
Away from the playing surface, there are a number of conference and
dining facilities located within the stadium, and a club shop. The most
recent development of the stadium came in 1993 when the Beach
End stand on the east side of the ground was demolished, with the
new Richard Donald stand constructed in its place. The stadium has
remained relatively unchanged since then, although some minor im-
provements, such as the introduction of an electronic stadium entry
system for the 2006/07 season, have been carried out. The site of the
stadium is only 500m away from the North Sea.
