Vitality Stadium is the smallest ground in the Premier League with a capacity of just over 11,000, giving it an intimate, pressure-cooker atmosphere that visiting teams consistently find difficult. Located in Kings Park in the heart of Bournemouth, the ground has been the club's home for over a century and has seen three separate redevelopments to its current four-stand configuration. Plans for a larger replacement stadium have been discussed, but the Vitality retains a loyal following among the Cherries fanbase.
