Salford City moved to Moor Lane in 1978,[4] but it had been a venue for other sports for many years before; Manchester Rugby Club played there from 1908 until 1969.[5]
In 2016, renovation work began, which saw its capacity rise from 1,600 to 5,108, including 2,246 seats.[6]
In 2017, the renovated stadium was reopened by Alex Ferguson, with Peninsula Business Services as sponsors.[7] In 2019, the stadium hosted a semi-professional international fixture between England C and Wales C.[8][9] The record attendance at the ground is 4,591 on 03 February 2024, a 3–1 win to Wrexham A.F.C. in a League Two fixture.[10]
