Built in 1964 to host several football matches of 1964 Summer Olympics and 1967 National Sports Festival of Japan, it was one of the first stadia in Japan dedicated to soccer.

The stadium currently holds 12,500 spectators. As of 2006 it is under expansion to meet the J. League Division 1 requirements for Ardija to host its home matches. Ardija will use Saitama Stadium 2002 and Urawa Komaba Stadium until works are complete.
