Dundee United launch bid to sell alcohol at Tannadice

Dundee United is submitting plans to sell alcohol at Tannadice throughout the 2026/27 season.

The Tangerines plan to submit an application to Dundee City Licensing board to introduce controlled alcohol sales within designated areas during ‘eligible’ Premiership fixtures.

Applications will be made on a game-by-game basis, with the club saying it will only apply for licenses at ‘lower-risk’ matches.

Under the proposals, fans would be able to buy drinks in the George Fox Lower and Upper concourses and the Eddie Thompson Stand Upper and Lower Concourses on home matchdays.

Beverages would only be able to be bought and consumed within those licensed areas before kick-off and during half-time.

Alcohol would not be allowed to be brought into the stadium seating.

The club added it follows the success of similar initiatives at Dundee United games in the Premier Sports Cup, as well as similar successful applications at other Scottish football clubs.

It’s after Dundee FC launched a bid to sell alcohol at Dens Park in July.

Alcohol has been banned at Scottish football stadiums since 1981.
