In addition to cycling events, it also hosted football matches, being the playing field of Hispania AC and X Sporting Club, two of the most notorious rivals of FC Barcelona in the early 20th century.

[2] For this end, they formed the Sociedad Anónima Velódromo (Spanish: Anonymous Velodrome Society), and they took the initiative for the construction of the new cycling track, this time in a place much more central than the previous site of La Bonanova.

[2][3] The chosen land was located on Carrer Aragó, between the Muntaner and Casanova streets, near Pont del Mico, with its main access door at the intersection of the first two.

The most outstanding test was the Gran Premio del Nuevo Velódromo de Barcelona, which was won by Abadal, who took home a prize of 500 pesetas.

Later that same year, on 25 October 1903, the People's House of the Radical Republican Party of Alejandro Lerroux was built on the land that had been occupied by the velodrome.
