Stands and Facilities
The ground's four stands are: The HTM Stand (Main), The Karen Child Stand (South), The Rubicon Print Stand (North) and The Midlands Co-operative Community Stand (East). Unlike Saltergate, Chesterfield's old home, all stands enjoy unrestricted views.
The 'HTM' Stand (West Stand)
The Main (West) stand has a curved roof line and a capacity of 3,144 seats with glazed windshields on either side and executive facilities at the rear. The stand includes conference rooms and banqueting rooms, including the Leengate Legends Lounge, and is where the majority of the club's non-footballing revenue is generated. The stand is sponsored by HTM Products (Derbyshire) Ltd.
The 'Karen Child' Stand (South Stand)
Located behind the goal on the south side of the Stadium, this stand is regarded as similar to the former Saltergate Kop in being the area where the main atmosphere is created by home supporters. Its capacity is 2,064 seats. The stand is sponsored by a supporter who won the National Lottery.
The 'Rubicon Print' Stand (North Stand)
The North Stand is almost identical to the South stand, the only difference is the North stand has only one disabled gantry while the South stand has two. Away supporters are primarily housed in this stand, where up to 2,088 can be seated. (At the time the ground opened, the North Stand was called the 'Printability Stand').
The 'Midlands Co-operative Community' Stand (East Stand).
Like the Main stand, the East Stand has a curved roof line but with no executive facilities at the rear. It includes a multi-purpose sports and community room, sports injury clinic, meeting rooms, a gym and healthy living resource for all ages, a wave pool for rehabilitation, heritage room, classroom resource centre for local education, a soft play area for youngsters, and a cafeteria. Additional space for away fans may be provided in this stand as demand requires. It's capacity is 3,208 seats.
All four stands encompass concourse facilities under the stand, including on-tap beverages and multiple television screens showing the game in progress, and Sky sports channels before and after the game.

Famous quotes containing the words stands and/or facilities:
“I envy neither the heart nor the head of any legislator who has been born to an inheritance of privileges, who has behind him ages of education, dominion, civilization, and Christianity, if he stands opposed to the passage of a national education bill, whose purpose is to secure education to the children of those who were born under the shadow of institutions which made it a crime to read.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
