During the last years, the stadium was extensively rebuilt and renovated. The result is a first-class athletics facility ‒ with a nine-lane running track, great acoustics and unobstructed sightlines throughout. The best conditions, therefore, for an optimal fan experience. Normally, fixed seats accommodate 12,650 spectators ‒ during the World Athletics Championships, the capacity is increased to 30,000 thanks to additional stands on the north side of the stadium.

“The high-quality EPDM granules make up the most important part of the surfacing system and, with their multifunctional properties, guarantee maximum athletic performance with minimal risk of injury”, explains the manufacturer GEZOLAN, a company from Switzerland.
