Dens Park

Dens Park is a football stadium in Dundee, Scotland, which is the home of Scottish Premiership club Dundee F.C. and has a capacity of 11,775. Tannadice Park, the home of rivals Dundee United, is just 200 yards (183 metres) away.

Dundee moved to "Dens" from their first stadium at Carolina Port in 1899. Dens Park hosted three full international matches involving the Scotland men's team, in March 1904, March 1908, and December 1936. All three games were Home Internationals against Wales. The record attendance at Dens Park is 43,024, which was set in 1953 when Dundee played host to Rangers in the Scottish Cup.

Following Dundee's promotion to the newly-founded Scottish Premier League in 1998, Dens Park had to be redeveloped to meet SPL seating capacity rules. Existing concrete terraces on the eastern and western ends of the ground were removed and two 3,000-seat stands were built in a record time of 82 days for the start of the 1998–99 season. The near-identical single-tier stands were named to honour Bobby Cox and Bob Shankly; the former usually houses home supporters while the latter houses the away fans. A new club shop and ticket office were also built. Undersoil heating was installed in 2005. Dens Park was named best pitch in the First Division in 2008.

Dens Park has also hosted Scottish League Cup finals, in 1979–80 and 1980–81, and the Scottish Challenge Cup final in 2007–08. Also in 2007, Dens Park (along with McDiarmid Park in Perth) hosted European Under-19 elite round qualifying games between Scotland, Portugal, Turkey and Georgia.

The ground hosted its first Scotland women match in July 2023, a friendly against Northern Ireland.

In October 2023, Dundee announced that the stadium would be sponsored by insulation company Scot Foam, with the stadium being officially renamed to The Scot Foam Stadium at Dens Park. This sponsorship ended in June 2025, when the stadium returned to the name Dens Park.

In 2002, plans were drawn up for a new stadium to be built in the city as part of Scotland's bid to host UEFA Euro 2008. This stadium would have been shared by Dundee and near-neighbours Dundee United, which would have required the two to leave their historic grounds at Dens Park and Tannadice Park respectively. The stadium was planned for construction on a new site at Caird Park in the north-east of the city. Scotland was not successful in their bid, however, and so these plans were postponed, but could have been resurrected had Scotland launched a successful bid for another tournament in that period. Both clubs strongly oppose a ground-sharing agreement but were interested in a new arrangement that would have taken place if Ukraine and Poland had failed to meet UEFA's expectations for hosting UEFA Euro 2012.

In May 2009, it was reported that the stadium is owned by local businessman John Bennett. In October 2014, Dundee Supporter's Society announced they have put forward plans to then club chairman Bill Colvin which may allow the club to buy back the stadium from Bennett. They also expressed, this was not a plan to enable the Supporter's Society to own the Stadium but for the club themselves, they said they will "simply administer the scheme". In April 2015, Colvin announced that negotiations were taking place to buy back the Stadium from current owner John Bennett and his company Sandeman Holdings. Dundee FC completed the purchase of the stadium from John Bennett in October 2023.
