The stadium was constructed between 1949 and 1953 and was the biggest stadium in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s and 1970s.[1] Za Lužánkami holds the record for the highest attendance in the Czech First League,[2] set in a match between Brno and Slavia Prague during the 1996–97 Czech First League season. It was closed in 2001 after 1. FC Brno moved to Městský fotbalový stadion Srbská.[3] The club was forced to move, since the stadium did not meet the football association and FIFA criteria.
Plans for a reconstruction of the stadium, whereby the team of FC Zbrojovka Brno would return, were made,[4] but in June 2012 it was announced that, due to financial concerns, the proposed reconstruction was on hold.[5]
The stadium fell into disrepair, with trees and bushes growing within it and homeless people living in the stands.[1] FC Zbrojovka Brno captain, Petr Švancara, took it upon himself to try and restore the stadium in order that he could play a farewell game at Za Lužánkami.[1] This effort expanded into a volunteer campaign, back by crowdfunding, to have the stadium ready to host a final game for Švancara. The project was a success, and on 27 June 2015 approximately 35,000 spectators watched two teams composed largely of former FC Zbrojovka Brno players play a match at Za Lužánkami.[1]
FC Zbrojovka Brno's youth team currently train near the stadium, which is rented out to supporters group Verime Zbrojovce, and plans have been unveiled for a £40 million overhaul.[1] However, it has since returned to its abandoned and overgrown state.
