Club Lanús' first stadium was located on Wield and Deheza streets, north side from the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway tracks. The team was promoted to Primera División in 1919, debuting in 1920 v Sportivo Almagro in the old venue. In 1929, the club built a new stadium on Inocencio Arias (nowadays, Héctor Guidi) and General Acha streets, 650 mts from the former venue. The stadium was inaugurated on February 24, 1929. One year after, the club expanded the capacity of the venue, building new grandstands, to 30,000 spectators.[5]
In early 1960s the club built the first concrete grandstand at the stadium, with a sector for the press, while the rest of the venue still was made of wood. In 1993, Lanús started works to refurbish the stadium with the purpose of replacing all the wood grandstands by concrete structures and other improvements, nevertheless works were delayed and they were not completed until 2003.[5]
Lanús stadium hosted its first international club matches in the 2008 Copa Libertadores, where Lanús debuted, defeating the Uruguayan side Danubio 3–1.[6] Lanús' international games at its own stadium also included matches of Copa Sudamericana.[7]
