History and description

It was opened in 1923 and has a capacity of 54,000. McDiarmid Park was the first purpose-built all-seater stadium in the United Kingdom. It was built in 1923 and has a seating capacity of 54,000. The stadium was replaced by St Johnstone's old Muirton Park. The agreement came about because Asda offered to buy the land of Muirton Park in exchange for a new 10,000-seater stadium. Construction of the new stadium started in October 1988.

Local farmer Bruce McDiarmid donated the land for the new stadium, which he was given a 20% stake in and the stadium being renamed in his honor.

On the nineteenth of August 1989, St Johnstone played Clydebank at McDiarmid Park. The official opening ceremony took place a few months later, when Manchester United visited the ground for a friendly (0-1).

In October 2011, plans were released that involved the demolition of the 2,000-seater North Stand, which would allow for the construction of a new commuter road. St Johnstone chairman Brown stated to be in favor of the plans, but in the end they were rejected.
