The stadium was officially inaugurated on April 14, 1912, on the occasion of a third division match between Excursionistas and club Libertad. Excursio went on to win the match 4-0.
The stadium currently has a capacity of 7,200 spectators. In 2014 it underwent significant renovations, including a new "FIFA QUALITY PRO Artificial Turf" artificial surface (the first to be approved by the Argentine Football Association for competition), an improved lighting system, new dressing rooms and club and medical facilities.
