History

edit

The construction of the stadium and nearby Paide Ühisgümnaasium school building began in 1989, but due to financial reasons only the school building was completed. In 2001, 1.4 million EEK were received from the state budget to complete the stadium, upon which the city also added over 1.9 million EEK.[3] The stadium was opened on 16 September 2002.[4]

In 2024, the stadium's field size was expanded from 96 × 62 m to 100 × 66 m.[5]
