The stadium contains four grandstands with permanent seating for 18,000 spectators and additional space for temporary seating during large events.
The facility opened in 1976 and received a £72 million renovation in 2022 to prepare for hosting the Commonwealth Games that same year.
The stadium functions as the primary training ground for the Birchfield Harriers athletics club and hosts national championships throughout the competition season.
The facility includes a nine-lane IAAF Category 1 certified track, a six-lane warm-up track, and separate areas for throwing disciplines.
