It has been used for association football, American football, concerts, and other events. The stadium has a retractable roof combined with a grass surface.

The stadium is the home of the association football club AFC Ajax (1996 present) and was the home of the now-defunct American football club Amsterdam Admirals (1996 2007). It was one of the stadiums used during UEFA Euro 2000. Dutch and international artists gave concerts in the ArenA, such as André Hazes and The Rolling Stones. Every year the dance event Sensation is held in the stadium.
