The ground answers to its third name. In March 2008 the naming rights went to Ningineer Network Co., Ltd. for ¥150 million over five years; the contract was renewed in 2024 and now runs to 2029. Before that it was the Ehime Prefectural Sports Park Stadium, and before that the Ehime Matsuyama Athletic Stadium.

In 2005, with promotion to J2 approaching, benches were set into the grass embankments, floodlights were raised and an electronic scoreboard added. The heavier work ran from 2012 to 2014: concrete stands on the north, east and south sides, the east the largest at over 9,000 seats, and a Diamond Vision screen of 16m by 8.4m installed in December 2012. The track went from eight lanes to nine in 2015, and the 2016–2017 programme gave the main stand a new roof and reinforced pillars, reworked the drainage and brought hybrid turf into the pitch. World Athletics Class 2 certification followed.

The largest football crowd, 12,851 , came for the Shikoku derby on 13 September 2009, and Tokushima Vortis ground out the win, 0–1. Emperor's Cup rounds have brought J1 sides such as Sanfrecce Hiroshima. In 2023 the venue held the China-Shikoku Para Athletics Championships, 133 athletes and three Japan records.
