Rodney Parade has two covered stands: the two-tier Hazell Stand (west) and the Bisley Stand (east) which are along the touchlines of the pitch. The upper tier of the west stand is seated with 1,996 seats, including 40 Press seats and the lower tier is a standing terrace. The east stand is all-seated with a 2,526 capacity including 144 seats in 13 hospitality boxes, food/drink outlets and a gantry for television cameras. The cameras are therefore pointing westward and often show the sun setting over Newport city centre.
The North Terrace is uncovered standing and adjoins some uncovered standing terrace on the west touchline alongside the west stand. The south end of the stadium houses players' changing rooms a media centre and a small uncovered seating area (Sytner stand). However, the south end is currently not available to spectators.
The ticket office, club shop and hospitality suite is located at the north end of the East Stand and accessed via Gate 4 on Grafton Road.
To the north of the North Terrace is the former outdoor bowls green and floodlit grass training area known as 'the cabbage patch'. It is intended that this area will be developed as a 4G artificial turf training pitch. Further north, parallel to Grafton Road, is the Newport County office, the Rodney Hall function room and the rugby clubhouse/office facilities.
