The stadium, with a capacity of 5,200, consists of an all-seater east stand, a small terraced south stand, and an all-seater west stand. On the south stand are no seats. The latter stand was built in 2009 and has several built-in features, including new changing rooms, offices, and improved sponsor seating.
Beginning in January 2021, BUKO was the main sponsor of the football team, and the stadium was named BUKO Stadion.[2] In June 2023, online casino 711 became the new sponsor of Telstar, and the stadium was renamed 711 Stadion.[3]
