From 1904 until the 1950s, the locals played at a small area they named San Jerónimo Park Grounds. In the early 1950s the administration of the State Governor José Aguilar y Maya built a new stadium near the City Center of Guanajuato specifically in the Pastita borough.
During the late 1970s a young teen Fernando Valenzuela made the stadium grounds his home during his stint with the Tuzos de Guanajuato of the Mexican Central League.
In April 2013 the stadium had a re-inauguration event after a series of renovations to the stadium switching it from Natural grass to Artificial Grass as well as other upgrades.
