The stadium structure incorporates a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel with rooms that feature direct views of the pitch.
It served as a host venue for matches during the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The stadium was designed to be expandable to a 45,000-seat capacity, though this remains an unrealized project phase.
The pitch is one of the few in the UK to host both international football and professional rugby union matches regularly.
The venue complex includes a significant indoor arena space, Arena MK, used for indoor sports and trade shows.
Stadium MK is a multi-purpose bowl-shaped arena in Milton Keynes primarily serving as the home ground for Milton Keynes Dons Football Club. It features an all-seater capacity of over 30,000, making it the largest stadium in the English Football League outside of the Premier League. The venue is integrated into the Arena MK complex, which incorporates a hotel and indoor event space. The pitch uses a Desso GrassMaster surface, a combination of natural grass and artificial fibers. Beyond football, it hosts high-profile concerts, rugby matches, and large-scale corporate exhibitions. The architectural design follows an open-corner stadium layout, though internal concourses allow for a continuous flow around the structure.

Check the event calendar online before visiting, as the site is inaccessible to the public during match days and major private events.
Utilize the hotel bar or restaurant for views of the stadium interior if you are not attending a specific event.
Dress in layers if attending an evening event, as the open-corner design can result in wind drafts within the bowl.
Do not attempt to access the pitch or player areas outside of guided tours or scheduled event bookings.
Closed to general visitors on match days and during private concert or exhibition bookings; advance booking required for stadium tours.
