[3] The newly formed Stevenage Borough had planned on playing Hitchin Town Youth at Broadhall Way in November 1976 as a "curtain-raiser" for the new venture.

[5][6][7] Following Stevenage's successful 1995–96 Conference campaign, the Hertfordshire side were denied promotion to the Football League because of insufficient ground capacity and facilities.

[7] In June 2011, the club secured a 40-acre former sports ground in Bragbury End[8] – with the intention of developing the site into a new training complex.

[9] Prior to the construction of the new North Stand the stadium had a capacity of 6,722 people, including 3,142 seats [10] having been reduced from 7,100 following the club's promotion to the Football League.

[15] The club stated its desire to open the new stand for the start of the 2018–19 season if the bond scheme was successful.

[7] The stand also has an electronic scoreboard in the centre of the roof, which was installed in 2001, making it visible to home supporters.

[26][27] Additionally, for five years, the ground hosted the Tottenham Hotspur reserve team,[28] with the North London club opting to use Leyton Orient's Brisbane Road for the start of the 2007–08 season due to its more convenient geographical location.

[31] The following year, the stadium hosted the play-off final once again, where 3,167 were in attendance to watch Salisbury City beat Braintree Town 1–0 to gain promotion to the Conference Premier.

The stadium hosted its first boxing event on 18 May 2019 when Billy Joe Saunders defeated Shefat Isufi to win the WBO super-middleweight title.

[34] The highest attendance recorded at the stadium was 8,040 for a match against Newcastle United in the FA Cup fourth-round on 25 January 1998.

[36] The highest attendance recorded for a competitive league match at Broadhall Way is 7,024, when Stevenage played Luton Town in the Conference Premier in April 2010, previously beating the 6,520 attendance when Stevenage played Hereford United in the Conference National play-offs in May 2005.

[37] The club's lowest attendance whilst playing in the highest tier of non-League football is 879 for a match against Stalybridge Celtic in March 1995.
