Prenton Park is the 16,789 capacity home ground of Tranmere Rovers F.C.

The Stadium was built in 1912, and was previously owned by Tranmere Rugby Club when it was called Ravenshaws Field.

The current ground has four stands, the Bebington Kop, The John King Stand, The Cowshed and the Main Stand.

The Bebington Kop (capacity 5,696) is a single tier, all seater stand, completed in 1995. The Kop replaced the earlier open terrace (also called the Kop) which had previously stood behind the goal at the Bebington End.

The John King Stand (capacity 2,414) - formerly The Borough Road Stand, is now named after former Rovers manager John King. The stand runs along the Borough Road side of the pitch, and is a low rise seated stand.

The Cowshed (capacity 2,500) - currently accommodates away supporters.

The Main Stand (capacity 3,598), is the oldest stand currently at Prenton Park, having been built in the 1960s. A two tier stand, it is generally divided into 3 main sections. The lower tier consists of the Bebington End Paddock and the Town End Paddock, either side of the halfway line. The upper tier is simply referred to as the Main Stand.
