The stadium opened in February 2007, with Neuchatel Xamax defeating La Chaux-de-Fonds by a scoreline of 3–2 in front of a sell-out crowd of 12,000 people.[1] The stadium complex was officially inaugurated in June 2007.[2] The complex includes a shopping mall underneath the stadium, a fire house, and six gymnasiums.[1] A small piece of the roof fell off in July 2007.[2]
The stadium has used a synthetic turf since its opening.[2] The turf was replaced in 2015.[3]
Portugal used the stadium as a training base for Euro 2008.[4]
The European Rugby headquarters moved to the stadium site in 2014.[5]
