Millwall's old Den (or Cold Blow Lane) was famous for its hostility. Visiting teams (and fans) often feared to go there, so much of the footballing world would have breathed a sigh of relief when the Lions moved into their modern new stadium in 1993 (still known as The Den).
Whilst the hostility hasn't gone away, it's not as difficult to get a result there as the old Den - a fact which has gone on to harm the club on the pitch. From the high of a 10th place finish in 1989, to a low of 62nd less than a decade later, the arrival of the new stadium saw a downturn in the team's performances with average league position slipping from 31st to 42nd.
Despite the lack of success on the pitch, attendances have risen at the new Den - although only by a few hundred, an 8% increase from 8,479 to 9,127.

Millwall have revealed plans to transform the Den into a modern 34,000 seater stadium.
The Championship club have been working on the redesign plans for 2 years and have finally revealed them to the public after a land dispute with Lewisham council has been resolved - leaving the club free to redevelop the ground.
The plans would keep as much of the current stadium structure as possible, increasing capacity through the addition of a third tier on each of the stands. The work would be done in phases to minimise effect on the current capacity.
Outside the ground, the club would build a public plaza with space for events and conferencing.
At the moment, these are just plans. No planning permission has been applied for.
