The stadium has a capacity of 3,150 spectators, of which 1,000 can be seated. The ground was opened in 1997, after Peterhead's old Recreation Park ground was sold off to supermarket company Safeway. The standard of the facilities at Balmoor was one of the main reasons why Peterhead were elected to the Scottish Football League in 2000, along with Elgin City. The record attendance at Balmoor is 4,855, for a Scottish Football League Third Division match against Rangers on 20 January 2013. This broke the previous record crowd of 4,505.
