Between 2011 and 2024 the stadium was named after Michael Klein, the Romanian international footballer who died on the pitch in 1993, while playing for Bayer Uerdingen. In 2024 the stadium was renamed as Stadionul “Corvinul 1921” Hunedoara, this was due to disputes over the trademark name of Michael Klein.

It is the 16th stadium in the country by capacity.
