The New Abderdeen Stadium is a proposed stadium in or around Aberdeen, Scotland. It would be the home stadium of Aberdeen F.C. who currently play in the Scottish Premier League.

Further development of Pittodrie now looks extremely unlikely, making a new stadium the more probable option. Capacity is as yet unknown, through it is likely to be over 30,000 as this is a minimum requirement of a ground to host games at a major International tournament. Scotland are planning to bid to host Euro 2016 and it is almost certain a stadium in Aberdeen would be part of this bid.

As Aberdeen lacks any clubs of equivilant size in other sports there is no obvious potential for a ground share (as happened at the Liberty Stadium with Swansea City and Ospreys). In spite of this, Aberdeen F.C. should be able to support a new stadium by themselves.
