Are any of the seats at the stadium undercover?

All spectators attending the event are advised to check the weather conditions before leaving home and dress appropriately including hats and sun cream should the sun shine!
Where is best to see what events?
One of the best things about coming to an athletics event is that you are never far away from the action, with multiple events happening at the same time and spread around the stadium there is always something to watch.
In the stadium every seat gives you an excellent view of the action.
If you love to watch the fastest athletes on the planet the best seats to choose are in the East Stand.
Want to watch the long and triple jumpers charging down the runway, then choose seats in the West Stand.
If the pole vault is more your thing, then then the South Stand is for you whilst the North Stand offers the best view of the high jump.
For the throw events the North and South Stands offer the best viewpoint.
And of course, not leaving out the endurance races where any seat in the stadium is great to cheer on the athletes as they complete laps of the track.
Please note field event locations are subject to change depending on the wind direction on the day.
