The stadium was opened in the 1940s and was renovated and expanded for several times, especially during the communist period (before 1990). Gheorghe Șilaev Stadium has a main stand that was built on a concrete structure, with a vintage roof, sustained by pillars, the rest of the stadium was built on metal frame and it is quite degraded.
