History

[edit]

The first Palogrande was built in 1936 and demolished in 1993, and the current Palogrande was inaugurated in 1994.

With renovations made for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia, the stadium capacity dropped from 42,678 to 32,000 people,[2] although it was capped at 28,678 for the tournament.[3]
