The stadium underwent a last renovation in 1997.

Belgrano Tickets
Tickets for Belgrano matches can be bought from a few days before the match at the ticket windows of the stadium. If tickets remain, which is generally the case, these can also be bought on the gate on the day of the match.
A standing place costs AR$60.00, a seat either AR$100.00 or AR$150.00.
For certain high-profile matches, e.g. the home match against Boca Juniors, Belgrano tends to move to the larger Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. In that case, the sale of tickets is (also or exclusively) at the ticket windows of Estadio Mario Kempes.
