The club bought the land in 1930, after selling its first stadium to pay off debts, and opened it on 24 March 1932 with a friendly against Uruguay Postal of Montevideo. In 1968 it switched on its floodlights for a Nacional match against San Lorenzo. Expanded several times, it has an official capacity of around 30,000 and is famous for the pressure generated by its fans.
