History

[edit]

The stadium's construction lasted less than one year, being started and completed in 1950. The stadium originally had a grass football pitch and a capacity of 3,600. In 2003, the stadium became one of the first in Italy, along with Capo d'Orlando in Sicily and Manfredonia in Apulia, to be fitted with a synthetic grass surface, due to the salinity in the air causing issues with the natural grass.[1] The press area at the stadium has six television boxes and six newspaper/radio boxes.
