History
On 8 December 2015 it was announced that a completely new stadium will be built by the end of the year 2017. János Markovits, president of Vasas SC, said that the constructions will begin in the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season. Therefore, the club will have to move to the newly built Hidegkuti Nándor Stadium stadium to play the rest of the matches. The capacity of the stadium will be 5,000.
On 29 October 2016, the last match was played at the stadium. Vasas SC hosted Videoton FC on the 14 match day of the 2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season. The first goals was scored by Remili in the 37th minute. However, the last goal was scored by Lazović in the 92nd minute. The match ended with a 1–1 draw in front of 5,050 spectators.
On 7 January 2017, the supporters of Vasas wrote an open letter asking for a stadium with a bigger capacity. Vasas FC backed the idea to apply for a bigger stadium.
