The stadium was inaugurated to support the growing demand for proper sports infrastructure in the Jember region, shifting games away from smaller, outdated city fields.
The pitch follows FIFA-compliant dimensions to allow for sanctioned competitive football matches.
The facility is integrated into a larger sports-focused development area in Ajung, intended to facilitate community health and fitness programs.
Jember Sport Garden (JSG) is the primary multi-purpose sports facility in the Jember Regency, featuring an international-standard stadium as its centerpiece. Opened in 2014, the complex serves as the home ground for local football clubs and a hub for regional athletic competitions. The facility includes a football pitch surrounded by an athletics track, meeting standardized configurations for local and national track-and-field events. Its design accommodates thousands of spectators, primarily used for league matches, large-scale public ceremonies, and community sports gatherings. The architecture focuses on open-air bleachers and a distinctively curved roofline on the primary grandstand. It is located in the Ajung district, serving as a landmark for regional sporting infrastructure development in East Java.

Wear a hat and sunscreen, as the majority of seating areas are exposed to direct sunlight.
Verify event schedules through local Jember government social media pages, as the stadium is not open for general public access during private league matches.
Bring sufficient water, as vendors are only present during major scheduled events.
Do not attempt to visit if a major local football match is scheduled unless you have secured a ticket in advance, as the facility is strictly cordoned off.
The facility is generally inaccessible to the public during maintenance periods or when private sports tournaments and training camps are underway.
Modest clothing is expected in accordance with local East Javanese norms; avoid overly revealing sportswear.
