Tannadice Park often simply referred to as just Tannadice is a football stadium located in the Scottish City of Dundee. Home to one of two main football teams in the city, Dundee United F.C, the two rival clubs and stadiums are linked by a common road – Dens Road. The site on which Tannadice Park sits was first used for football in the 1870s when the Dundee city was yet to be fully urbanised with the ground then known as Cleptingon park surrounded by open countryside. Used originally by two football teams Dundee Our Boys and Dundee East End who would later merge to become Dundee United, the newly formed club first occupied the site in 1909 and have made Tannadice Stadium their home ever since. With local rivals Dundee F.C situated less than 200 yards up the road at Dens Park stadium competition for local supporters was fierce and United, then known as Hibs quickly opted to enclose the pitch with basic stands and facilities in order to begin the process of generating matchday revenue. Stadium developments throughout the 20th century were typically piecemeal with the most notable being the introduction of the new Main stand in 1962 – the first in the country to feature a cantilever roof with unrestricted views of the pitch.In the stadium’s centenary year, Dundee United surprisingly won the league title for the 1982-1983 season, a triumph which is yet to be repeated by the club with the club reinvesting revenues in under soil heating following the lead of Rangers, Hibernians and Queen’s Park.footballtripper.com Aerial footage of Dundee United Tannadice Park stadium and also the redeveloped Gussie Park which has been renamed GA Engineering Arena.
