Notes

Dens Park is a football stadium located on Dens Road in the Scottish city of Dundee.

The stadium is the home of Dundee F.C. and has a capacity of 11,856. Uniquely, the stadium shares part of the same road (Sandeman Street) as Tannadice Park, which is the home of city rivals Dundee United F.C.

The club moved to ‘Dens’ from their first stadium at Carolina Port in 1899. Over the years, the ground has been redeveloped, with the construction of the near-identical Bobby Cox and Bob Shankly stands, which sit at either end of the ground. The former is given over to home supporters, and the latter to visiting supporters. Dundee FC are the rightful owners of Dens Park stadium.

It has held one Scottish League Cup final and on November 25th 2007, held its first Scottish Challenge Cup final.

The record attendance at Dens is 43,024. This was set in 1953 when Dundee played host to Glasgow Rangers F.C in the Scottish League Cup.

Following Dundee’s successful league campaign during the 1998/99 season, Dens park had to be redeveloped to adhere to the new SPL seated capacity guidelines. Dundee F.C were therefore required to redevelop the East and West terraces. Barr Stadium Construction Ltd
