[4] The record attendance at Dens Park is 43,024, which was set in 1953 when Dundee played host to Rangers in the Scottish Cup.

Following Dundee's promotion to the newly-founded Scottish Premier League in 1998, Dens Park had to be redeveloped to meet SPL seating capacity rules.

Existing concrete terraces on the eastern and western ends of the ground were removed and two 3,000-seat stands were built in a record time of 82 days for the start of the 1998–99 season.

[5][6] In 2002, plans were drawn up for a new stadium to be built in the city as part of Scotland's bid to host UEFA Euro 2008.

They also expressed, this was not a plan to enable the Supporter's Society to own the Stadium but for the club themselves, they said they will "simply administer the scheme".

[8] In April 2015, Colvin announced that negotiations were taking place to buy back the Stadium from current owner John Bennett and his company Sandeman Holdings.

[10] In August 2016, club owners John Nelms and Tim Keyes were reported to have bought land in the Camperdown area on the north-western periphery of the city, next to the Dundee Ice Arena.

[13] In June 2022, Dundee moved their day-to-day operations away from Dens Park and into Dundee and Angus College's Gardyne Campus located in the south-east of the city with the intent to improve the sports facilities there,[14] although revised plans for the Camperdown stadium were released both around the same time and at the end of 2023.

The 400-metre circumference sand greyhound track was constructed and a Bramwich Hare was installed in addition to a Datatote totalisator system.
