Dean Court has been in use since 1910 and was rebuilt on a rotated footprint in 2001, and it is by a wide margin the smallest ground in the Premier League: roughly 11,300 seats, less than a fifth of Old Trafford, in a park a mile from the sea. That is finally changing. Redevelopment began in July 2026 with two corner infills arriving shortly after the season starts, and a rebuilt South Stand takes the ground to 20,196 in the summer of 2027.
The Vitality Stadium's capacity changes during 2026-27: the ground starts at roughly 11,300 seats, with two corner infills adding about 800 more shortly after the season begins, on the way to 20,196 when the rebuilt South Stand completes in summer 2027. No exact current figure is certified, so none is claimed here.
Four low single-tier stands and no distance anywhere — the furthest seat here is closer to the pitch than a middle-tier seat at most Premier League grounds. The trade-off is elevation, of which there is very little: a low row behind the goal sees the flattest pitch in the division. Sections are also moving as the corners are filled in and the South Stand is replaced, so the seating map this season is not the one from last season.
