| Stadium History - The Present Day |
The current capacity stands at 41,623 and the ground has
gone from being a huge oval shape to one with all four sides close to
the pitch. There is almost no part of the current stadium that hasn't
markedly changed in recent years with only the huge old Shed wall
remaining of the original stadium - which can be seen opposite the
Megastore and box office.
As well as all the work on the stadium itself the whole 12.5 acre
site has seen the building of two four-star hotels, three restaurants,
conference and banqueting facilities, underground car park, health club,
a music venue and business centre. It has come a long, long way since
the original athletics venue was first opened in 1877.
