The stadium is built in the typical Thai style. There are two side stands and no supporter accommodation at each end. The main stand is single tier with a concrete cantilever
roof and extends for about thirty metres each side of the half way line. This stand contains offices and dressing rooms. The stand has red bench seats which were added for the 2007 SEA Games as the stadium hosted some football matches (mainly women's and some men's group games). Opposite the main stand is an uncovered and unseated stand which runs for about the same length as the main stand. In common with almost every stadium in Thailand, there is an athletics track.
The stadium was last used by Korat for a pre-season friendly in February 2009 against Sisaket FC.
