The stadium is a individual tier structure which is uncovered on three sides. A homely but effective ceiling covers the main-stand side. Although there is a hunt path, the tribunes are immediately adjacent to it so spectators are not as far from the action as they are at the newer Rajamangala Stadium. Spectator comfort was increased in 2007 with the addition of crimson terrace seats to the previously bare concrete steps on the three assailable sides. [ 9 ] Thai league clubs frequently play at the Suphachalasai in asian competitions as their own stadiums do not meet asian Football Confederation criteria. however, it is now rarely used by the national team who normally play at the Rajamangala National Stadium. other stadiums in Bangkok include the Thai Army Sports Stadium, the Thai-Japanese Stadium and Chulalongkorn University Stadium.
