Twente's ground grew in two distinct stages, and the shape still shows it. The 2007–2008 expansion added a second tier to one long side and one short end, leaving the stands in an L; the 2011–2012 phase closed the remaining corners into a U and took capacity to 30,205. The first phase cost an estimated €50–60m, the second around €15m. During the later work, on 7 July 2011, part of the roof came down and killed two workers on site.

The name has moved twice since the ground opened on 10 May 1998 with a 3–0 win over PSV. Built as the Arke Stadion, it was sold to the Grolsch brewery in May 2008 and has carried the name De Grolsch Veste since. Supporters use a third, unofficial one — Epi Drost Stadion.

UEFA has returned twice in recent years: the semi-final and final of the 2017 Women's European Championship, then the semi-final and third-place match of the 2023 Nations League finals. The playing surface was relaid in the summer of 2024, with heated natural grass giving way to a hybrid pitch on a DrainTalent Pro drainage system.
