The pitch is oriented along a north-south axis, optimized for professional football standards.
The project replaced the original 1931 Tammelan stadion, which was demolished to make way for the new mixed-use development.
The stadium's foundation and structure were designed to minimize noise disturbance to the residents living within the stadium complex.
