It was put under the administration of the Ipoh City Council, which oversees the general upkeep of the stadium until this day.

Since the last refurbishment in 1997, the capacity of the stadium is 42,500[3] and it boasts a press box and a VIP-area which is normally used by the Sultan of Perak.

The stadium features a FIFA standard football pitch and an IAAF-certified synthetic running track.

Poor pitch conditions are also a norm at this stadium and coaches are known to have publicly voiced their discontent over this issue.

Events such as military band competitions and school sports days are held at the Perak Stadium sporadically.
