History
About Vitality Stadium
The Vitality Stadium (originally Dean Court) has been Bournemouth's home since 1910. The current ground is the result of a 2001 rebuild. The original Dean Court was torn down and the pitch rotated 90 degrees to allow a more compact stadium design. Bournemouth's promotion to the Premier League in 2015 (with the original Dean Court still under the Vitality naming-rights deal of 2015) made the ground the smallest in the top flight.
