The stadium opened on September 2, 1973. Mexican President Luis Echeverría, state Governor Manuel M. Moreno, and Miss Guanajuato 1973 Alicia Elena Cardona Gómez were present at the inaugural game.[5]
The stadium was renovated in 2014. The repairs included replacing the grass playing field, installing a new irrigation system, adding protective netting, building new dressing rooms and bathrooms, installing new lighting, and painting. The stadium was reopened with a game between the Acereros de Monclova and the Rieleros de Aguascalientes.[6] The Acereros were using the stadium for preseason practice before the season began.[7]
