Over time, as Ajax's popularity and success grew, the De Meer proved to be too small.

The larger venue also hosted Ajax's midweek night games, since the De Meer Stadion lacked floodlights until the mid-seventies.

The Netherlands national football team played five international matches at the stadium, winning all of them.

The final match at De Meer was an Eredivisie game which saw Ajax hosting Willem II on 28 April 1996.
