[1] This field and ground was located between the current streets of Indústria (now Paris), Coello (now London), Casanova and Muntaner, hence its name, next to the Clinical Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine.

[1] On 6 January 1902, FC Barcelona played its first-ever match in Muntaner against Hispania AC, in a fixture of the 1901–02 Copa Macaya, which ended in a 4–2 victory for the visiting side thanks to goals from Alfonso Albéniz, Joan Gamper (2), and John Parsons.

[7] Between its foundation in 1899 and 1905, FC Barcelona played in three different stadiums, Velódromo de la Bonanova, the grounds of Hotel Casanovas, and the field on Horta street.

[2][5] Their difficulty in finding permanent grounds was due to economic instability and the lack of large open-air spaces at a time when the city was undergoing urban expansion.

[1] In 1909, the Velodrome hosted the Spanish Sprint and Middle Distance Championships, but spectator attendance and revenues were low, which led to the sale of the business in early 1910.
