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.
