As it stood in 1995

What King Baudouin Stadium looked like in its prime.

A wide elliptical bowl of concrete and steel seating tiers under a continuous cantilevered roof, surrounding a rectangular green pitch and a red tartan 400m athletics track. Seating is arranged in multiple tiers with aisles and stair towers; tall white lattice floodlight pylons rise above the roofline. Entrances and a low classical-modernist gateway sit on the forecourt; advertising hoardings and athletics equipment line the inner track. The structure appears complete and in regular use.
