Works for the enlargement of La Romareda into a 43,000-seat stadium were due to begin on April 17, 2006 and end in time for the Zaragoza Expo of 2008.

However, a lawsuit was filed by a political party (PAR), claiming that the enlargement of the stadium would be to the detriment of the population, in order to suspend the planned works.

On 13 September 2024, Nueva Romareda put out to tender the major phase of demolition and construction of the new stadium for 138.5 million euros (excluding VAT, which is deductible).

The ultimate goal is that on August 31, 2027, the Nueva Romareda will be a reality, so that Real Zaragoza can play in the new stadium with all the guarantees for the 2027-2028 season.
