The stadium hosted the home games of SR Colmar starting on 24 June 1928, the date of inauguration of the ground. [1] This formerly fallow land had been leased by the club in 1926. The stadium emerged after more than a year of renovations carried out mainly by members of the Colmar sports club.

The record attendance at the stadium is of 11,990 spectators, recorded during a match against Strasbourg during the 1948–49 Division 1, Colmar's only season in the first tier of French football.
