The stadium opened on 25 May 1940 with a capacity of 25,000. Its floodlights were inaugurated in 1974, and renovations followed in preparation for the 1997 Copa América. The venue hosted matches during that tournament and the 1993 Bolivarian Games. Its playing surface is natural grass.

Tickets, entry and match-day checks
Ticket arrangements and seating can depend on the specific event, so confirm those details with the event organizer before setting out. Published capacity figures differ, and an event’s seating allotment may not match the stadium’s listed total.
Published capacity figures vary, so treat them as general venue information rather than a guarantee of available seats for a particular match. Check the official site before you go.
Planning transport after an event
Plan your return from the stadium around the arrangements for your event. A 2017 departmental decree describes access to the underground vehicle parking area on exceptional event days as subject to available space, so don’t assume a space will be available.
