Vitality Stadium seating plan & guide

Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium, long known as Dean Court, has been the club's home since 1910 and was completely rebuilt in 2001. At around 11,300 seats it is the smallest ground in the Premier League, giving an intimate, close-to-the-pitch experience, with expansion plans now under way after the club bought the stadium outright in 2025.

Best sections

North Stand

The home end behind the goal where the most vocal Cherries support gathers — best atmosphere in a small ground.

Main Stand (West)

The principal side stand with hospitality and the best central side-on views of the pitch.

East Stand

The temporary-build side stand opposite the main stand that also houses away fans; close, intimate views.

Insider tips

  • As the league's smallest stadium it sells out almost every match, so secure tickets early — demand far outstrips supply.
  • The ground is in Boscombe, a couple of miles from Bournemouth centre and station; local buses or a taxi are the simplest way in as parking is very limited.
