The stadium has a capacity of 21,600[2] and was built in 1995 to be the home ground of Granada CF, the main football club of the city.

On 6 June 1995, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen contested the first match at the new stadium.

After the promotion of Granada CF to La Liga in 2019, the stadium was renovated: there were improvements of lighting and pitch quality, aesthetic change in the stand and a new fan shop opening.

It is very well-connected with the Circunvalación highway and with Camino de Ronda, one of the more important streets of the city.

They are still undefeated in the city, with eight victories, the last against North Macedonia winning 4-0 in a 2018 World Cup qualifying match.
