History

The stadium was planned to be built for HUF 120 million in 2014, however step by step it managed to cost taxpayers a lot more. After categorised as an economically significant investment, another HUF 800 million was awarded in 2014, which grew to 1.5 billion and then 2 billion in a short time. In the end a further 473 million HUF was spent on building a heat pipe system from the nearby thermal water complex - making the total investment HUF 2.5 billion - basically 1 million for each spectator seat. A typical example how one politician's dream can make others pay for it.

The first Nemzeti Bajnokság I match was played against Ferencváros on the 4th match day of the 2018–19 Nemzeti Bajnokság I.[3]

The first Magyar Kupa match was played on 27 February 2018 in the 2018–19 Magyar Kupa season against Ferencváros. The result was 1-1.
