History
The stadium was originally known as Jackstonville Stadium. It was built right after the Shireroth administration's investments to enter the FMF. It was opened to amateur matches in 2007. Originally it had two stands.
The 2011 FMF World Cup was held this time in Shireroth, but was not featured as a venue due to the distance. In 2013, a fire broke out in the stadium, resulting in the deaths of three people. Since then, the stadium stands are pitch black, popularly known as the Black Stadium.
There was internal turmoil in Shireroth, and the stadium was abandoned after Jexit took over the island. But the stadium stands still remained pitch black. In early 2018, two roofs completely collapsed, but the Jingdao government never repaired it. It was not renewed during the 2018 Micras Games, it was surrounded by iron bars and its entrance was banned.
After the founding of Thracistan in 2019, the stadium received a free DPR, but was later transferred to the Ministry of Sports. A new tribune was added behind the goal and the roofs were repaired. The stadium was not painted as the DPR administration liked the blackness of the tribune. It did not receive any asar during the civil war, but the remaining stands were badly worn.
After the announcement of Project Gama in 2022, DPR immediately left the stadium and moved all of them, including the DPR administrative building, to the city of Tumi. Immediately after DPR's move to Tumi, all but the skeleton of the new grandstand were dismantled and transported to Tumi. The remaining skeleton structure and old grandstands were completely demolished. The land is currently vacant. Erdem Şahin said in his last speech that he would build a Youth Park there.
