The main stadium has a capacity of 20,618 and opened in 1964. It was used by Daejeon Citizens before Daejeon World Cup Stadium opened and the team relocated in 2001. It hosted several football preliminaries during the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

Name
Hanbat is the original Korean name of the City of Daejeon. Han means Big and Bat means Field, hence the name of the city where the stadium rests today is a transliteration of the hanja Dae (big) and Jeon (field).
The complex was originally built as Daejeon Chungmu Sports Complex, but later changed its name to the present form.
