The stadium initially had a capacity of about 30,000 spectators[3] and had lights.

Near the end of the 1980s, a substantial renovation and expansion project began, but was never finished due to a lack of funding.

The stadium's present condition is dire, with no UEFA licence, no lights, and only a few games played there (mostly junior teams).

The biggest events held in the stadium were a 1990 Lepa Brena concert, a 1999 Metallica concert,[4] and the 1990 World Junior Championships in Athletics.
