Designed in the mid-1970s and built in the second half of the 1980s,[3] the stadium remained unfinished for about thirty years. The stadium was completed between 2015 and 2017 on the initiative of local football team Frosinone Calcio, who won a lease for the stadium from the local council for 90 years,[4] in order to replace the old municipal stadium.
With a capacity of 16,227,[1][5][6] it is the largest stadium found in the province, and the third in Lazio.[7]
It is dedicated to the memory of Benito Stirpe,[8] entrepreneur and chairman of Frosinone Calcio in the 1960s, and father of Maurizio Stirpe, his successor at the helm of the club.[9][10]
The total cost of the stadium was approximately €20 million,[11] of which approximately €15 million went to the 2015–2017 construction completion.[4]
