History and description

The Estadio Ciudad de Lanús, also known as La Fortaleza, opened on February 24, 1929. It took a few more weeks for the first match to be played at the stadium, however. The stadium initially lacked any large stands, but construction of larger wooden stands began one year later. Over the next several years, the stadium grew in size, reaching a capacity of about 30,000.

In the early 1960s, a first stand was built, but for the next few decades few improvements were made.

The Estadio Ciudad de Lanus got completely rebuilt between 1990 and 2003, replacing the wooden stands with concrete stands. Since then, only minor improvements have been made to the stadium, including the construction of a roof in 2010.
