It was built in 1925 by members of music and gymnastics association Megas Alexandros.Record attendance is 10,135 for a game between Veria FC and Doxa Dramas in 1970. However, during a game between Veria FC and PAOK FC there were about 12,000 fans, but most of the them entered the stadium without a ticket. The stadium used to hold track races too but after the renovations in 2005 and 2007 there is not enough space for track runners.
