History and description

Nou Estadi de Tarragona got built in the early 1970s at the initiative of club president José Luis Calderón who wanted to move the club from their stadium at the Avenida Catalunya to a newer and larger one.

The stadium officially opened on 2 February 1972 with a friendly against Barcelona (0-1). It could initially hold 18,000 spectators, but over the years this got reduced to 11,000 due to safety measures and various modifications.
