El estadio fue inaugurado en 1939 y su cubierta construida en 1958. El proyecto pertenece a tres profesionales locales, los ingenieros Néstor Distéfano y Ricardo Arrigoni, y el arquitecto Pedro Doiny Cabré.
La apenas visible obra, desde calle Santa Fe
La cubierta es del tipo colgante, conformada por cables de acero y losetas de hormigón alivianado, una verdadera obra artesanal, de muchísimo ingenio y una precisión de cálculo maravillosa. Definida la superficie como muy aproximada a un "Paraboloide hiperbólico", la estructura tiene la forma de una verdadera silla de montar, con su singular doble curvatura, lo cual le permite funcionar sin columnas intermedias.
La cubierta es una maravilla de la ingeniería

José Nestor Distefano; Civil Engineering: Berkeley
1931-1975
Professor
José Nestor Distefano died suddenly and unexpectedly in Berkeley on August 31, 1975. His untimely passing both shocked and saddened his many friends and colleagues in the University community and in the architecture and engineering professions throughout the world (...) Distefano combined brilliance with personal warmth and a sense of humor with empathy. He believed as he lived and lived as he believed--a humanist in a technological world, always searching for truth, order, and understanding.
