Timeline
- 2009 / Following the sale of the side-pitches of NAC Breda's Rat Verleghstadion by Breda's municipal authorities, the club moves the training sessions for its first and reserves' teams to a newly laid-out park in Zundert, Sportpark De Gaard, situated on the land of Jan Braspenning, NAC's groundsman (from 1995 to 2017). The facilities comprise two pitches as well as portacabins, which serve as makeshift changing rooms and players' lounge. In spite of those very basic facilities, the park earns the nickname 'Bredanello' - an allusion to AC Milan's training ground, Milanello - thanks to the superb quality of the playing surface. NAC agrees to use the facilities for the coming ten years.
- 2011 / As plans to upgrade Sportpark De Gaard have been given the green light by Zundert's municipal authorities, NAC and Jan Braspenning conclude a new agreement, which sees the club staying at the training ground until 2026.
- 2012 / Following the completion of the ground upgrade, which saw the portacabins being replaced by a fully-fledged clubhouse, which offers all the indoor facilities required for a professional league club's training ground, the ground is officially renamed the Autotaalglas Trainingscentrum in a sponsorship deal.
- 2020 / After eight years of being called the officially the Autotaalglas Trainingscentrum, Sportpark De Gaard is renamed Midglas Trainingscentrum in a new sponsorship deal.
- 2025 / After five years of being called officially the Midglas Trainingscentrum, Sportpark De Gaard is renamed B O Infra Trainingscomplex in a new sponsorship deal, which will see the building company's name being connected to NAC Breda until the summer of 2028.
