history
Construction of the stadium began in 1936. It was inaugurated on June 10, 1939. It was the most modern stadium in Romania at the time. A smaller replica of the Highbury , the former Arsenal FC venue , it had a capacity of 12,160. Charles II of Romania , Michael I of Romania and Prince Paul of Greece took part in the inauguration ceremony .
The new north stand was completed in the mid-1990s. This increased the capacity in the seated stadium to 19,100 visitors. However, apart from a small part of the main stand, the venue lacked any roofing. After reducing the number of spectators to 10,000, only 3,000 spectators were allowed to attend the games.

The demolition of the old facility began on February 11, 2019. Work continued on March 8th on the second, the east stand. The stadium tower collapsed with the rank. At the end of March, only the north and main stands were standing. The demolition was finished on May 7th.
