The stadium got gradually expanded in the following decades, however remained a modest stadium. It was only when Parma became more successful in the late 1980s that the stadium was properly developed.
Between 1990 and 1993, three of the four stands were completely renovated, starting with the Petitot Stand in 1990, and followed by the North and South Curves in 1992 and 1993. The running track got built over, resulting in the stadium’s current rectangular shape.
