Sixfields has been the home ground of Northampton Town Football Club since 1994, following their move from the County Ground.

The stadium features four stands;

West Stand - largest of the stands, seating just under 4,000 home supporters, the West Stand also accommodates the club offices, changing rooms and supporters bar.

Dave Bowen (North) - named after ex-Northampton Town player and manager Dave Bowen, who took the club from Division Four to the First Division during the 1960s, the North Stand is behind the goal nearest to the hill. It seats approximately 900.

Alwyn Hargrave (East) Stand -named after an Ex-Borough Councillor who helped the stadium become reality. Accommodates approximately 1,700 fans and serves as the Family Enclosure. Usually reserved for home supporters, but can take an overflow of away fans if they sell out their allocation.

South Stand (currently the Paul Cox Panel & Paint Stand for sponsorship reasons) This end is reserved for away fans.

After successfully negotiating a 150 year lease on the ground from the local council, the clubs owners have announced plans to redevelop the ground into a 15,000 all-seater stadium.
