  Tannadice Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tannadice Park or Tannadice is a football stadium located on Tannadice Street in the Scottish city of Dundee.
The original capacity of Tannadice Park was around 10,000, the terracings were specially extended and additional temporary seating erected for a Qualifying Cup-tie against Forfar Athletic in 1913; all of this was necessary to allow a record crowd to be accommodated, and the reported attendance was 15,000.
The highest attendance at Tannadice for a domestic match was 26,407 in a Scottish Cup tie on 23 February 1952 against Aberdeen.

 Tannadice or bust – the stark choice for Dundee fans - [Sunday Herald]
And that, in turn, is the problem for Dundee FC when the men in suits drop heavy hints that a tenancy at Tannadice is all that remains for a club losing a reported £20,000 a week.

 Dundee United F.C. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He inherited a healthy legacy with some of Scotland's finest young talent, though his first action was to sell Duncan Ferguson to Rangers for a fee of £4 million, breaking the record transfer fee involving two British clubs.
One of these was a Scottish Cup tie against Albion Rovers, for which the management, in a desperate attempt to get Tannadice playable, hired an industrial tar burner to melt the several inches of covering snow and ice.
The then-coach was aged 50 when he played the full 90 minutes against a Tobago XI on the club's visit to the Caribbean in May 1994.

 Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Ever the optimist, Smith looks to triumph amid the Tannadice adversities
DURING a fans’ forum at Tannadice the other night, Alex Smith attempted to explain away Dundee United’s inability to recapture the form they enjoyed in the second half of last season by stating that their battle against relegation had given them a cause back then.
The Tannadice board machinations this week amounted to no more than Jim McLean stepping down as a director, so ending 30 years of involvement in the day-to-day running of the club.
This took the form of the fist with which McLean struck BBC reporter John Barnes in October 2000 to force the United legend’s resignation as chairman; the catalyst for the haymaker an inquiry from Barnes as to how much time the new manager would be given.

THE high-fives and back-slapping from the Hearts players at the end of the game suggested they were only too aware of the importance of this win in their bid to finish third in the league for a second successive season.
A trip to Tannadice then, where Dundee United were unbeaten in 11 matches, and where the visitors had already lost once this season, looked set to provide a stern test of Hearts’ credentials yet they turned in a highly professional display which saw them deservedly come away with maximum points.
Barry Robson did come close before the interval with a 20-yard effort and Collin Samuel should have done better than shoot wide ten minutes after the break after good play from Wilson, but in the end they were made to pay for their lack of creativity in front of goal.

 Dundee United Players - End Of Season Review - SoccerPulse Community
Mr Moyes took McFadden to Goodison, but Kerr opted for Tannadice, and pre-season he was immense, ighlighted in a wonderful performance in a 1-0 over, ironically, Everton.
He was virtually an unknown for the first half of the season, constantly warming the United bench and failing to impress the curious Tannadice crowd when he got a rare chance.
However, once he scored his first goal of the season, there was no stopping him! The Trinidadians skill was worth the price of admission alone, and he almost tore Tannadice down with his two goals against Rangers that salvaged a brilliant 3-3 draw.
