History
The stadium was inaugurated in 1936.[1] In 1948 running track and wooden stands were built around the pitch.[1] These were replaced by two reinforced concrete stands during the 1975 reconstruction, which increased the then bench seating made capacity of the stadium to approximately 40,000.[1]
In 2002 individual seats were installed, reducing capacity of the venue to 12,525.[1]
