Brighton and Hove Albion's improvements to the Withdean will be the club's lasting legacy to the stadium when it moves to its new ground.
Chief executive Martin Perry said the club had agreed to upgrade the stadium when it moved into the ground in 1999.
The club will move to the £93 million, 22,500-seater American Express Community Stadium in Falmer next summer.
Mr Perry said the improvements the club had turned Withdean into an excellent athletics ground.
Brighton and Hove City Council said the ground would still be used by the community when the Albion move.
Some of the buildings would be offered for community use.
