Dundee FC is embarking on a transformative journey with the planned construction of a new stadium at Camperdown Park. The proposed 12,500-capacity stadium is set to replace the historic Dens Park, aiming to create a modern and vibrant matchday experience. This ambitious project, spearheaded by Dark Blue Property Holdings and designed by Holmes Miller in collaboration with LJRH Architects, represents a significant milestone for the club.
The new stadium is designed to enhance the fan experience and offer state-of-the-art facilities. Key features include a home-end safe-standing tribune, activated concourse areas, and large LED screens. Additionally, the development will incorporate a 1000-capacity multi-use venue, tiered hospitality suites, and a 250-capacity brew hall. These elements are aimed at providing a dynamic and engaging environment for supporters.
The stadium will be the centrepiece of a broader mixed-use development at Camperdown Park. The plans include a 120-room hotel with health and wellbeing facilities, a Dundee FC training centre, residential units, and a city crematorium. The development aims to create a well-connected new district within Dundee, featuring landscaped public areas, a dedicated bus terminal, a cycle hub, and EV charging facilities.
The project is not only about providing a new home for Dundee FC but also about contributing to the broader regeneration of the city. The club’s management, particularly John Nelms, has emphasized the comprehensive nature of the planning submission, which goes beyond standard requirements to ensure a smooth approval process. The initiative has received support from the Scottish FA and the SPFL, highlighting its potential positive impact on Scottish football infrastructure.
The local community and fans of Dundee FC have shown strong support for the project. The club plans to engage further with supporters and Dundee City Council throughout the development process. This engagement aims to ensure that the new stadium meets the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.
As Dundee FC prepares to transition from Dens Park to their new home, the excitement and anticipation are palpable. The new stadium at Camperdown Park promises to usher in a new era for the club, blending modern amenities with the rich heritage of Dundee FC. This project is a significant step forward, reflecting the club’s ambition and commitment to its supporters and the community.
