Between 1986 and 1988, the stadium was home to a rugby league team called Mansfield Marksman.[2] It has two seated stands and one standing stand. The fourth side contains a bar and the changing rooms. Alfreton recently unveiled plans to move to a new all-seater stadium in the near future, but that would depend on Alfreton's return to, and success in, the Conference National.

The Central Midlands League Cup Final takes place at North Stadium, and has done so since 2000–01.
