With Rosso's promotion from the Japan Football League to the J. League Division 2 in 2007, KKWing is expected to play a role in Rosso's ascendancy.
The stadium was used for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the first Rugby World Cup to be held in Asia.[2]
From 1 February 2017, the stadium adopted a new name as Egao Kenko Stadium (えがお健康スタジアム) (Egao Sta (えがおスタ) in abbreviation) due to naming rights contract.
