Because the Mexican Federation of Association Football says that teams participating in the First Division must have a stadium with a capacity over 15,000, Club Tijuana officially became qualified for promotion to the Primera División de México when the capacity was increased.

The first part finished the ground and lower sections of the stadium.

The design of the project was led by the architect Héctor Troncoso-Parraga.

In 2009, the stadium hosted the eight-team CONCACAF Men's Under-17 Championship.

Artists such as Shakira, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Nicky Jam, Maná, Luis Miguel, Gloria Trevi, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, Los Bukis and Alejandro Sanz have performed at the stadium.
