It is home to various sports clubs, including Newcastle United Women, Gateshead FC and Gateshead Harriers. Historically, it was home to both Newcastle Thunder and Gateshead Senators.
The stadium has been, and still is, host to many great national and international sporting events, including athletics, rugby and football. Five world records have been set at the stadium, including two by pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and a tied 100 metres record by Asafa Powell in 2006.
