As it stood in 2011

What Gateshead International Stadium looked like in its prime.

A bowl-shaped, all-seater athletics stadium with a deep red polymer 8-lane tartan track encircling a rectangular green grass pitch. The steep, cantilevered Tyne and Wear (west) stand is concrete and metal with tiered orange-red seating; opposite is a long east stand capped by a continuous barrel-vault canopy in metal cladding. Low uncovered north and south terraces form shorter seating banks; floodlight pylons and a low glass-fronted media/corporate block sit beyond the stands.
