History

In 2018, the stadium underwent a process of expansion and modernization in order to meet the necessary requirements to be able to host a professional football team.[3] This work included the installation of five thousand new seats, artificial turf, LED lights, changing rooms, luxury boxes, additional restroom facilities and amenities for disabled individuals.[4]

In February 2019, a friendly match between legends from Chivas and América was held at the stadium to inaugurate the renovations.[4] It was also announced that the venue would be hosting Lobos Marinos de La Paz, who were set to make their debut in the third-tier Liga Premier de México in the upcoming 2019–20 season.[5]

Alternate uses

The stadium has also been used sparingly for events such as concerts and political gatherings,[6] as well as amateur football matches.
