At the games, it was the venue for the opening ceremonies, closing ceremonies, figure skating and short track speed skating events. It was also the main stadium for the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games. It is the only international standard indoor stadium in Pyeongchang.
Next to the stadium, Pyeongchang Olympic Village, the main Olympic Village for the 2018 Winter Olympics is located. The stadium was used as the main dining and convivence hall during the Winter Olympics.
In 2020, the Pyeongchang county acquired its ownership from Yongpyong Resort. After the acquisition, the county renamed it to the PyeongChang Dome.
