Stadium
Dumbarton play their home games at The Bet Butler Stadium (commonly referred to as "The Rock" by Supporters). The 2,025 all seated stadium has been used since December 2000. The main (and currently only) stand is overshadowed by Dumbarton Rock & sits aside the banks of the River Leven, which makes it one of the most picturesque stadiums in the UK. Prior to that the team played at Boghead Park from 1879 until the end of the 1999–2000 season, 121 years is currently the longest a senior British club has stayed at the same grounds. Between May and November 2001, Dumbarton shared Cliftonhill in Coatbridge with Albion Rovers.
