The stadium was originally built as a horse racing track known as Hipódromo de Techo.
It served as a venue for the 2013 South American Youth Football Championship.
The stadium is located at an altitude of approximately 2,600 meters above sea level, impacting ball aerodynamics.
The venue features an iconic, distinctive curved roof structure over the main grandstand.
It has hosted matches for both men's and women's professional football leagues in Colombia.
Estadio Metropolitano de Techo is a multipurpose stadium located in the Kennedy locality of southwestern Bogotá, primarily serving as the home ground for the professional football club La Equidad. Originally inaugurated in 1954 as a hippodrome for horse racing, it was later repurposed into a football stadium in the 1990s. The stadium features a natural grass pitch and has a seating capacity of approximately 8,000 spectators. It is situated within the Unidad Deportiva El Techo, a larger public sports complex. The venue regularly hosts Categoría Primera A and Primera B football matches, as well as local community sports events. It lacks the expansive scale of the larger Estadio El Campín, offering a more intimate viewing experience for match-goers. The facility is managed by the Instituto Distrital de Recreación y Deporte (IDRD).

Bring a windbreaker or warm clothing as the stadium's open design makes it susceptible to cold gusts, especially in the evening.
Check the official Dimayor schedule in advance, as matches are subject to frequent rescheduling due to league broadcast requirements.
Choose seats in the 'Occidental' stand for the most comfortable seating and better protection from the elements.
Do not attempt to park a vehicle directly at the entrance on match days, as perimeter security cordons are strict and street parking is limited.
Operations are primarily tied to the Colombian professional football calendar; the venue may be closed to the public on days without scheduled matches.
Avoid wearing colors associated with opposing teams if attending a high-rivalry match; remain seated in designated areas.
