Built in the 1980’s, inaugurated by SAS Prince Rainier III on January 25, 1985, the Louis II Stadium is a gigantic complex of 30,000 m ² including :
- an open air stadium
- Athletic facilities used for sporting activities and events
- A 1,700 capacity, 4 floored parking garage
- A complex of office space surrounding the stadium.
The Louis II Stadium contains three principal components intended to accommodate athletes and spectators :
- The multisport athletic complex
- The Aquatic Center
- The soccer stadium and the track and field facilities
The soccer stadium is the only of its kind. While respecting the standards of UEFA, the lawn rests on the roof of the parking garage 850m above ground level. The enclosure contains 18,523 seats. An awning provides shelter for the fans and also lights the field for night games.
At the end of the 2001-2002 season, renovations were made to the stadium lighting system. The projectors were repositioned and the number of units was recalculated in order to create a more uniformed effect. The amount of lights increased from 200 to 340, and it is of note to mention, a backup system was installed to relight the stadium instantaneously in the unlikely event of a power outage.

The amount of lights increased from 200 to 340, and it is of note to mention, a backup system was installed to relight the stadium instantaneously in the unlikely event of a power outage.
Two different lighting configurations were installed: one for athletic events with 310 projectors, and another for soccer with approximately 200 projectors.
These improvements allowed for an increase in horizontal lighting from 1,030 lux to 2,200 lux and in vertical lighting from 1,010 lux to 1,800 lux. New UEFA and FFF regulations recommend an average of 1,400 lux for horizontal and vertical illumination.

An electronic control panel, coordinated with an electronic timing system, allows for instantaneous transmissions of results to the fans.
The AS Monaco FC Youth Academy is integrated within the complex itself. Designed to accommodate young players, it includes individual rooms, a restaurant, and other additional facilities.
