SK Jugoslavija played its matches on the stadium until the end of the Second World War, when the club was disbanded by the new Yugoslav authorities.

In 1945 it was seen as the stadium for the "Metalac" football club (former BSK, today OFK Beograd), but Vladimir Dedijer, president of the Yugoslav Gym Association at the time, granted it to the newly formed Red Star.

The municipal inspector from Stari Grad inspected the venue and declared it unusable, for the wooden beams were completely rotten.

At that stadium Moša Marjanović put a famous goal past the Spanish keeper Ricardo Zamora, also František Plánička was defeated, and after the Second World War plenty of exciting games were played.

Roof above the west stand was to be very expensive, with concrete arches, but prime minister Slobodan Penezić Krcun refused to grant that much money.

Also, the workers' barracks at the auxiliary stadium were used by the club administration until the proper premises were built at the west stand in 1973.

This fiery Red Star fan arrived to the new stadium early in the morning and took his place in the eastern stand.

He took out cheese and a bannock from his bag, then ate his breakfast while he waited patiently until the late afternoon for the game to start.

There were officially 96,070 spectators in the stands that night with purchased tickets, but it is believed that the stadium was filled to the maximum allowable capacity which at the time was 110,000.

During the mid-1990s, in order to meet UEFA demands for spectators' comfort and security, standing places at the stadium were completely done away with.

It included, among other changes, the lowering of the west stand and construction of the VIP section so as the removal of the athletic's track.

The 34.8 hectares of land, named Zvezdani Grad (English: Star City or Starry City), will include the stadium with approximately 50,000 seats, fitness center, ambulance, shopping and spa center, office towers, a five-star hotel, modern apartment blocks and underground parking.

The area between the stadium and the shopping center, which will allow a visit in the summer, and winter conditions, will be used for markets, cafes, restaurants, and provide space for temporary exhibitions and performances.

The club has further clarified that a reconstruction of the existing structure is not a viable option, as it would not enable Crvena Zvezda to achieve its objective of doubling season ticket sales from the current number of 6,000.

The opening acts and guests were Dado Topić & Mama Coco, Kornelije Kovač, Arsen Dedić, Kemal Monteno, and Lokice dance group.
