It is the home stadium of ADO Den Haag and ADO Den Haag Vrouwen. It has a capacity of 15,000 people, and replaced ADO's former stadium Zuiderpark, which was considerably smaller.

Despite being in the third largest cities in the Netherlands, the club's attendances have been traditionally smaller than those of their rivals Ajax, Feyenoord, and PSV Eindhoven. The stadium was the venue for the 2014 Hockey World Cup.

For the last five months of 2019, it also served as the home of AZ Alkmaar, whose AFAS Stadion underwent renovations after a roof collapse.[5][6]

On 18 February 2022, the roof of the Bingoal Stadion was damaged by Storm Eunice.[7][8]

Security: Happy Crowd Control

Leaders touted the advanced security measures in the new stadium when it opened, including security cameras with facial recognition and microphones that could detect fireworks or banned chants. However, these security measures were outdated and unused by 2022.[10]

In June 2010, ADO Den Haag signed a naming rights agreement with Japanese firm Kyocera to change the name of the stadium to Kyocera Stadion (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌkijoːˈseːraː ˌstaːdijɔn]).[11] From 2017 to 2022, a new advertising deal led the stadium to be called Cars Jeans Stadion.[12] Current sponsor Bingoal paid an undisclosed amount in 2022 to have the stadium renamed Bingoal Stadion.[13]
