The stadium was constructed as a replacement for Zamora's previous field, La Vaguada, was obsolete due to its age (fifteen years), its reduced capacity (approximately 4,000) and the general mediocrity of the facilities.
A notable match held at the stadium was a European Under-21 qualifier between Spain and Armenia on 1 April 2003, which resulted in a 5–0 victory for Spain.
