The field received its first, wooden stands in 1922 on the western side, which were completely replaced in 1957/58 to contain changing rooms, a kiosk, and underground gyms. In 1968 the stadium received funding to build floodlights.

To match the Swiss Football League's license requirements introduced in the 2012/13 season, the stadium was modernized in three stages. The first stage contained improvements to the lighting, security, and catering systems, completed by 2013. This was followed by a rebuild of the eastern standing terrace in 2015, and finally a renovation of the main stands.[4]
