The stadium, with a capacity of 6,000, consists of an all-seater east stand (converted from a standing-only in 1999), a 400-seater south stand (added in 2025), an all-seater north stand (2,000 capacity, added in 2025) and an all-seater west stand. The west stand was built in 2009 and has several built-in features, including new changing rooms, offices, and improved sponsor seating.[2]

Beginning in January 2021, BUKO was the main sponsor of the football team, and the stadium was named BUKO Stadion.[3] In June 2023, online casino 711 became the new sponsor of Telstar, and the stadium was renamed 711 Stadion.[4] The BUKO Stadion name returned in June 2025, as new national regulations banned gambling sponsorships.[5] That month, Telstar also began renovations to the stadium, including replacing artificial turf with natural grass, to meet Eredivisie requirements.[6]
