Opened in 1900 and progressively redeveloped, it comprises four covered stands around a rectangular grass pitch and has hosted league matches, internationals and cup ties.

As it stood in 2017

What The Hawthorns looked like in its prime.

A compact rectangular football bowl of four covered stands rising directly from the pitch edge, dominated by blue seating with areas of white seat patterning. The turf shows striped mowing and clear pitch markings; floodlight pylons and exposed steel roof frames punctuate the skyline. The East Stand is a modern, multi-tiered block with corporate suites and glazed entrances; older concrete West and end stands create a mix of mid-20th-century concrete and late-20th/early-21st-century steel-and-glass additions.
