Francisc Von Neuman Stadium
The stadium shares designing elements from Kirklees Stadium in Huddersfield which is visible in the stands. It is named after a local Jewish Hungarian aristocrat, Francisc von Neumann, a baron who owned several businesses in Arad and personally sponsored the construction of the old stadium and the founding of the team.
The first match at the stadium was a Liga I game played between UTA Arad and Voluntari, which ended in a goalless draw. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was played without spectators.
The first match with spectators was the 2021 women's Romanian Cup final between U Olimpia Cluj and Heniu Prundu Bârgăului, which ended with a 1–0 win in extra-time for the Cluj team.
The first international game played on the arena was the friendly goalless draw between UTA Arad and Kolubara Lazarevac.
