The change lasted for a quarter of a century, when Casanova admitted that he was completely overwhelmed by such an honour and requested in 1994 that the stadium's name be returned to the Mestalla.

It consisted of an office designed in the avant-garde style with a trophy hall, which held the flag the club was founded on.

The summer of 1973 ushered in another change at the Mestalla, the introduction of goal seats, which meant the elimination of fourteen rows of standing room terraces.

A replacement stadium, the Nou Mestalla, started construction in 2007, but is yet to be completed due to the club's financial crisis.

The Mestalla hosted four El Clásico finals in Copa del Rey between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with 1936, 1990, 2011 and 2014.
