Since the birth of the professional football in Barranquilla on 1948, they have needed to enlarge the capacity of the stadium because there are so many fans of the local team of the city that want to see the soccer games. So many fans that the crowd would constantly exceed the stadiums capacity, creating long lines at the entry since the first hours of the day.
