The grass pitches are open from March to October (except July) and can also be hired for private tournaments. Pitches 2-5 have recently been newly constructed. Field No. 1 including the newly built grand stand are in use since May 2025.

Field sports stadium
The stadium offers space for a total of around 1,500 spectators - 980 of whom are seated in the city colours of red, white and black. The stadium is designed to meet the needs of football and American football. The main pitch directly in front of the stands can accommodate both sports with flexible pitch markings as required. The entire infrastructure is geared towards the 1st league. Access is from the landscaped forecourt, which is located between the new buildings of the ice sports training stadium, the grass sports stadium and the skate park. Visitors to the field sports stadium reach their seats via the side entrances from where they can either access the stands or the standing steps opposite. 

The field sports stadium creates an efficient infrastructure for popular sports as well as for ambitious club sports and offers optimal training and competition conditions. Six team changing rooms with sanitary facilities and additional separate referee changing rooms, spacious equipment storage and club facilities are located in the building. A total of eight pitches can be played on - five of which are natural grass and three artificial turf pitches. This infrastructure is available for school, club and recreational sports.

With three artificial turf pitches, five natural grass pitches, 20 field sports changing rooms and the new stadium, the facility is the largest grass sports centre in the canton of Graubünden and one of the most important in eastern Switzerland, second only to St. Gallen. The new infrastructure has given field sports in Chur a modern and sustainable home.
