Precast Concrete (PC) method considering construction and economical efficiency was used. After the World Cup, the stadium was planned to be a multi-purpose sports park, which has a comprehensive sports center and commercial and cultural facilities in the middle of the region. It is now the home stadium of Daejeon Hana Citizen with a capacity of 40,535 seats, replacing Daejeon Sports Complex.
