History
Following the demolition of the Estadio Tecnológico in 2017, after their main tenants, C.F. Monterrey moved to the Estadio BBVA, the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM), owner and operator of the stadium, decided to build a new stadium with smaller capacity to host their sports teams, mainly the American football and association football squads.[4]
The stadium broke ground in 2017 and was inaugurated on 30 April 2019 with an event that involved the student community of the ITESM.[1]
On 3 May 2019, Borregos Salvajes played their first American football game against the UBC Thunderbirds, winning 24–17.[5]
Fundidores de Monterrey moved to the stadium for the LFA 2020 season[6] from the Estadio Nuevo León Unido, which could only accommodate 1,500 people.
The stadium also hosted Parrilleros de Monterrey of the Fútbol Americano de México league during 2022 on the team's only season, since the league dissolved in September 2022.[7][8]
