Football usage
In addition to athletics, the stadium has been utilised for matches by J.League football teams Shimizu S-Pulse, Júbilo Iwata and Fujieda MYFC.
Shimizu S-Pulse used the ground extensively in the 1990s, largely sharing home stadium duties with Nihondaira Stadium at the dawn of the J.League in 1992. S-Pulse called Kusanagi home while Nihondaira was being expanded in 1994, and its pitch re-laid in 2003. However, Shimizu have not used the stadium for competitive games since 2003.
