Two exercise venues under the main stand, tennis and athletics grounds and artificial turf pitches are also a part of the complex.
[8] To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the independence of Latvia, on October 19, 2008, a new Guinness World Record was set at the venue for the most people running 100 metres in a 24-hour relay.
[1] On 15 May 2018, the first phase of the renovation was completed, in the course of which new stands were built on both goal ends, increasing the capacity of the stadium from 5,683 seats to 10,461 seats, the main western stand with its indoor athletics facilities, conference rooms and VIP facilities were fully renovated and a new electronic scoreboard display was installed.
[13] The second and final phase – during which the construction of a roof over the west terrace, a new ice rink replacing the one built in 1960 (demolished in 2018) and new, multi-functional sports halls is planned – is scheduled to be completed by 2022.
The new, €12.3 million athletics hall is due to be commissioned on December 31, although Latvijas Radio reported that interior works are behind schedule as of late September.
In the stadium, the replacement of the football field turf and worn-out athletics track, as well as the installation of heating systems, is set to begin in late 2023.
