Unlike other teams, their main home ground at Sapporo Dome is also used by the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters baseball team, so some home games are moved to Sapporo Atsubetsu Stadium.

The club's name "Consadole" is a combination of consado, a reverse of the Japanese word Dōsanko (道産子, meaning "people of Hokkaido") and the Spanish expression Olé.

The club have won the J2 League title a record 3 times.
