It's defined as one of home ground of Kashiwa Reysol (J.League club), but most of Reysol supporters reject using this stadium, because of worse condition than Hitachi Kashiwa Soccer Stadium, in points of accessibility (see the table below) and watching games from back-end and side stands. And, J.League match (except cup tournaments) hasn't been held in this stadium since 2009 season.
On November 18, 2007 it was used for a Top League rugby game between NEC Green Rockets and Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars.
