In Cugir, during the communist period was built another stadium, known also as Stadionul Metalurgistul, but mainly as Stadionul Nou or Stadionul Parc. The stadium has a capacity of 12,000 people and is owned by Cugir Mechanical Plant, but in the last years was abandoned due to high maintenance costs and its facilities, which were inconsistent with the needs of local sports clubs, being too large, outdated and difficult to modernize.[2]
