History and description

It has a seating capacity of just over 10,000 and is located in the south-east of the island. The Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López, or Estadio HRL for short, is Tenerife's original stadium and has been their home since 1925. It seats just over 10,000 people and is located in the south-east of the island. The stadium officially opened on July 25, 1925 with a match between Tenerife and Marino de Las Palmas. At the time, it could only hold 7,000 spectators.

The stadium got completely rebuilt between 1946 and 1950, with prestigious architect Marrero Regalado hired to design it. At the same time, it received its current name after the club president at that time who had instigated the reconstruction of the stadium.

The Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez got once again almost completely rebuilt from the late 1980s, though a few features of the previous stadium were preserved, including the old entrance gate. Work was performed gradually over a period of more than 10 years, rebuilding stand by stand, with the last new stand opening in 2001.
