The stadium was due to open earlier in the year but several problems during construction changed the plans.[1] In February 2011, the club announced the new season ticket prices for their return home.[2]
The stadium held its first match, a 0–0 against FC Thun on 31 July 2011.[3]
Since November 2012, the stadium and surrounding area has been served by the underground Lucerne Allmend/Messe railway station.
