New Aberdeen stadium could be built next to Pittodrie

Sunday 22nd August 2021

Aberdeen could build their new stadium close to their existing ground, after local councilors agreed to explore the idea.

The Scottish Premiership side has had planning permission granted on a new Â£50m stadium in Kingsford on the outskirts of the city.

However, local councilors are now looking into the possibility of building the new ground next to Pittodrie as a way to strengthen the links between the city centre and the beach.

Aberdeen have been looking to leave Pittodrie for a number of years. They plan to build a modern 20,000 seater stadium - it now just a question of where.
