Construction of the sports complex started November 1991 and was completed in time for the 1992 Palarong Pambansa.

Ten contractors and 1,500 workers collaborated in order to complete the facility. Total construction cost was a little over P64-million.

In 2011, the PRISAA was participated in by more than 400 member colleges and universities from the country's 17 regions. More than 5,000 athletes and officials participated in the games.{{cite web |url=http://www.zamboangatoday.ph/index.php/news/13-top-stories/2887--mayor-lobregat-oks-city-hosting-of-2011-prisaa-national-games.html |title=Mayor Lobregat OKs city hosting of 2011 PRISAA National Games |publisher=Zamboanga Today Online |accessdate=28 March 2011 |archive-date=5 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110205085857/http://www.zamboangatoday.ph/index.php/news/13-top-stories/2887--mayor-lobregat-oks-city-hosting-of-2011-prisaa-national-games.html |url-status=live }}

The stadium along with the rest of the facilities of the sports complex were damaged following the 2013 Zamboanga City siege by the Moro National Liberation Front. The stadium was used as an evacuation site by people displaced by the attacks and had to undergo renovation from 2016 to 2019.{{cite news |title=DPWH completes P199-million sports complex in Zamboanga City |url=https://pia.gov.ph/press-releases/releases/1018953 |accessdate=23 February 2019 |agency=Philippine Information Agency |publisher=Department of Public Works and Highways |date=23 February 2019}}
