Bloomfield Stadium was built on the land where Basa Stadium, home to Hapoel Tel Aviv since 1950, once stood. Money for the stadium project came from the Bloomfield fund and the stadium opened on 12 October 1962 with a friendly match between Hapoel and Dutch club FC Twente.

In 1968, Hapoel’s city rivals, Maccabi moved into Bloomfield after hosting many of their matches at the national stadium. In 2004, Bnei Yehuda moved into Bloomfield making it the only stadium in the top three divisions of Israeli football to have three tenants.

The stadium has hosted concerts by popular artists such as Phil Collins, Black Eyed Peas and the Scorpions.
