The stadium was opened September 11, 1955, starting the series of promotions of the home club Baník Příbram from the regional competition up to the third highest nationwide league within 13 years and to the second division in 1974.
The major reconstruction of stadium was made between 1978 and 1980. The construction was funded by the Uranium Mines company, many of the miners and company workers joined the work voluntarily. New stands and entry gate were built as well as two buildings with flats and hotel rooms, which remain the mark of the stadium. The western stand was roofed and the capacity of the stadium was around 11,000 spectators.
In 1996 FC Portál Příbram merged with Dukla Prague and the new team played in Prague for a year before moving to Příbram in 1997. The eastern stand was roofed and the third stand was built. The stadium had to be modernized to correspond with the football union's new standards, all stands are for seated spectators, which lowered the capacity to 9,100, and the floodlight towers were erected.
