Daugava

The stands are not a single block but split into sections, with the western side carrying the most weight. Its roof is a line of dark, curved canopy sections that stretch across the length of the stand.

The venue’s character is defined by the track. It is a multi-purpose ground where football is shared with athletics, and the boundary between the two is hard.

The history is in the layers of the structure. The original stand from 1950 was replaced by the western section built between 1951 and 1959. Later work in the late 1970s reshaped that same side again. The 1990s saw the north, east and south stands removed entirely, leaving only the western side and the two small goal-end blocks. The current look dates from a reconstruction that started in 2017. The old concrete was stripped away and replaced with the modern canopy and seating. The surface was replaced in 2024, and the track was relaid.

The stadium is managed by the Latvian National Sports Centre. It hosts the Latvian national football team and the local club FK Metta. It has also been used for concerts and the Latvian Song and Dance Festival. The highest attendance was recorded in 1949 for a Soviet Top League match against Dynamo Moscow.
