The Den Stadium History
The New Den, as it was first called to set it apart from the old stadium, was the first new all-seater stadium to be built in England after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. It was made so that people could get out quickly and easily. This was important because Millwall had problems with crowds at The Old Den.
After chairman Reg Burr decided that it would not be possible to turn The Old Den into an all-seat stadium, he announced in 1990 that the club would move to a new stadium in the Senegal Fields area of south Bermondsey.
Originally planned to have a seating capacity of between 25,000 and 30,000, however, the club opted to wait, so the capacity remained at just over 20,000.
