Opened in 1939, his record of crowding dates from May 9, 1979, when 16,876 paid spectators attended the reception of the RC Strasbourg in the quarter final of the Coupe de France de football.

In 2003, while the stadium has a capacity of 13,872 seats, renovations begin with the aim of meeting the standards imposed by the Professional Football League.

The last two phases of renovation, which were to allow the stadium to accommodate 17,500 sitting spectators, were not completed. The stadium currently has 14,753 seats as follows:
