The stadium was inaugurated on February 14, 1998, with a match between CD Leganés and Xerez CD.
The name 'Butarque' refers to the patron saint of Leganés, the Virgen de Butarque.
Before 1998, CD Leganés played their home matches at the Estadio Luis Rodríguez de Miguel.
The stadium's original capacity was roughly 8,000 before subsequent modular expansions.
The venue hosts the 'Trofeo Villa de Leganés', a pre-season friendly tournament.
It is one of the few professional stadiums in Spain that allows fans to view the pitch from a very close proximity due to its compact design.
Estadio Ontime Butarque serves as the primary home stadium for CD Leganés, a Spanish professional football club. Located in Leganés, Madrid, the venue has a seating capacity of approximately 12,450 spectators. The stadium underwent a significant naming rights partnership, rebranding to Estadio Ontime Butarque in 2024. Its pitch dimensions are 105 by 70 meters, adhering to professional standards. The facility includes a dedicated club museum and a store for official merchandise. It is situated in the south of Madrid, near the M-40 and M-45 motorways. The infrastructure underwent expansions in 2016 and 2018 to accommodate the club's promotion to La Liga. The venue features four distinct stands, providing unobstructed views of the playing field.
