Pittodrie

Pittodrie is a football stadium situated in the Scottish city of Aberdeen and was the first all seater stadium in the UK. The stadium is used for home football matches by Aberdeen F.C.. As a result of a groundsharing agreement it was used by Inverness Caledonian Thistle for their home matches during the early part of the 2004-05 season. This was required because ICT's own stadium did not meet the requirements for entry into the Scottish Premier League until improvements were carried out.
