The stadium was built in the 1950s (with initial construction starting in 1949) for RNK Split, who began using it in 1955.

The stadium was never completed, although it went through some renovation for the 1979 Mediterranean Games which were hosted by the city.

The stadium has a total capacity of 4,075 and is located in the Brodarica neighbourhood of Split.

This area of the city used to be colloquially known as Turska kula (Turkish tower), which was the stadium's original nickname.
