The event was primarily held at the [[Beijing National Stadium]], which served as the athletics venue during the [[2008 Summer Olympics]]. Weather concerns prompted a reduction in capacity for the World Championships in Athletics; only the lower and middle tiers of the stadium were open, capping the venue at around 54,000 spectators rather than its capacity of 80,000.<ref name=itg-beijingstadium>{{cite web|title=Beijing 2015 World Championships organisers confident of capacity 50,000 plus crowds|url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/sports/summer/athletics/1015588-beijing-2015-world-championships-organisers-confident-of-capacity-50-000-plus-crowds|website=InsideTheGames.biz|

==Anti-doping==
As part of the event, the IAAF conducted a wide-reaching anti-doping programme. This included information-led targeted tests in the months previous to the championships and testing of athletes in and outside of competition during the championships. In total, the IAAF undertook 1,405 instances of athlete doping controls in Beijing. This included 662 blood tests to inform the longitudinal athlete [[biological passport]] programme, 161 blood tests specifically directed at identifying usage of either human [[growth hormone]] and/or [[erythropoiesis]]-stimulating agents (EPO), 54 out-of-competition urine tests and 528 urine tests conducted on-site (which also incorporates 239 for EPO analysis).<ref name=Doping>[http://www.iaaf.org/news/iaaf-news/anti-doping-beijing-2015-testing-figures IAAF anti-doping programme concludes in Beijing]. IAAF (1 September 2015
As was the case since the 2005 World Championships, athletes' doping samples were stored for future analysis, which could allow retrospective disqualifications via subsequent improvements to testing technology and methods. The number of tests was a new high for the event and the largest ever conducted by a sport-specific governing body at an event. The testing was undertaken in partnership with the [[Chinese National Anti-Doping Agency]] (CHINADA). An anti-doping education programme was also conducted, which included presentations on the risks of doping and a questionnaire designed by the [[World Anti-Doping Agency]].<ref name=Doping/>
