Despite becoming a modern, all-seater stadium, a number of features in the design of the stands give it a unique look.
All stands bar the West Stand have very little beneath them, as the tea bars and toilets are located under the lowest possible point towards the pitch.
The rest of the area underneath is open tarmac, with the steel framework fully exposed.
Moreover, the turnstiles for the three newer stands are built into a perimeter wall rather than the stadium itself, and there are very large open air spaces before the stands themselves.
Other stadiums have a similar design – for example Tynecastle’s Roseburn Stand, although there is considerable less space there.
One advantage is that since the public smoking ban has come into force it has been possible for fans to stand in the open areas at half-time for a cigarette.

The East Stand is distinctive in appearance as it does not cover the full length of the pitch, tapering before ending around 15yds before the extremity of the pitch.
This is because the ground behind the stand is residential, and can not be built on.
However, the gap is not as large as a similar truncation at Fir Park, for example, and is filled by flags.

Disabled supporters are accommodated in an enclosures at the front of both end stands.
While celebrating a late goal in a game played in August 2019, some Rangers fans caused the roof of one of these enclosures to collapse.
