The stadium was opened on 28 July 1952,[2] on the grounds of the former Froschberg-Brickworks. The stadium is also known as "Auf der Gugl", the name of the hill on which it is situated.
The stadium hosted motorcycle speedway until the early 1970s[3] and hosted significant speedway events including a qualifying round of the Speedway World Championship in 1961.[4]
It was used for association football matches and hosted most matches of FC Blau-Weiß Linz and the top matches of LASK Linz.
In July 2020, LASK presented their plans to build a new stadium on the site of the old stadium, with groundbreaking planned for early 2021 and completion scheduled for February 2023.[5][6]
