History

Estadio Balear opened on 8 May 1960, with a 2–0 friendly win against Birmingham City.

On 14 June 2013, the stadium was closed by Palma city council due to a risk of collapse.^[2] Four years and a half later, on 14 December 2017, the renovation works started and the capacity of the stadium would be reduced to about 4,200.^[1]

During the stadium's closure, CD Atlético Baleares have played home games at the Camp de Son Malferit [ca; es] nearby.

The renovation of the stadium was scheduled to finish in August 2019.
