The stadium's construction was funded in part through a real estate deal that saw the club's old stadium site converted into a commercial shopping center.
The stadium is colloquially known as El Nuevo Gallito, a reference to the club's mascot.
It is built on land that previously belonged to the historic Castelar textile factory.
The stadium's architecture includes a distinctive cantilever roof design over the main grandstand.
It serves as a multi-purpose venue occasionally hosting local cultural and community events beyond football.
