Built in 1896, the Millenary Velodrom is a cradle of Hungarian sports or more precisely competitive sport. In 1928 it hosted the bicycle world championship. The pavement of the track was modernized in the 1950s and 1970s and the stand which is a protected historic monument with a seating capacity of 3,000 viewers was renovated in 1996 apropos of the centenary. In autumn 2013 the tender for an overall comprehensive reconstruction project of the National Sports Centre was published, including that of the roofed in hall which is part of the complex. Applicants had to design sports facilities comprising an indoor 250-metre bicycle track meeting international standards, a BMX court, whilst the middle section was meant to house the new centre of Hungarian gymnastics.
