Pittodrie Stadium
Pittodrie Stadium has been home to Aberdeen FC since the club was formed in 1903, continuing the site’s association with the original Aberdeen club. Located close to Aberdeen’s beachfront and the city’s historic Old Aberdeen district, Pittodrie is one of Scotland’s most recognisable traditional football grounds. It is particularly notable for being among the earliest major football stadiums to introduce an all-seated configuration. Its four stands create an enclosed setting for supporters, with the Richard Donald Stand providing a prominent modern feature. Pittodrie is closely associated with Aberdeen’s domestic success and European campaigns under Sir Alex Ferguson.
