Its architectural design emphasizes functional capacity for large-scale outdoor gatherings rather than decorative aesthetics. The stadium is positioned in the Ujungbatu area, northeast of the main Jepara town center. As of July 2026, the venue remains active as the primary hub for regional sporting events in the Jepara Regency. The facility infrastructure includes standard locker rooms and administrative offices required for professional match hosting.
