History (from Wikipedia)

Easter Road is an all-seated stadium, split into four geographic sections, known as the Famous Five (formerly North),[21] East, South and West Stands. The Famous Five and South Stands are the oldest part of the present stadium, built in 1995.[6] Each stand has two tiers, a cantilevered roof and a capacity of nearly 4,000.[24] To keep within the boundaries of the site, the upper deck of each stand angles toward the centre.[24] When the stands were built, the Famous Five Stand was above pitch level and the South Stand was below, but this was corrected when the natural slope was removed.[24] Each stand also stretched beyond the east touchline, which was corrected by widening the pitch when the East Stand was rebuilt.[24] Between the two tiers of the Famous Five Stand there are function suites and lounges.[21][24] Before the stands were rebuilt in the 1990s, the north and south ends of Easter Road were known as the Cowshed and Dunbar End respectively.[21] The southern end was called the Dunbar End because there was a lemonade factory named Dunbar's located behind it.[38]

The West Stand, which initially had a capacity of 6,500, was built in 2001.
[21][39] A reception area, club offices, media centre, banqueting suites, hospitality area and changing rooms are located in the West Stand.[21][39] The capacity of the West Stand was reduced slightly when the new East Stand was constructed in 2010, as the pitch was widened during this development.[40] The East Stand, which is the newest part of the stadium, was built in 2010.[37][41] It is the only stand that is not split into two tiers and has a capacity of 6,400.[4] The decision to build the East Stand as a single tier was taken to maintain the character of the old terrace, which had been a simple viewing area without many facilities.[42]
