The stadium, inaugurated in 1973, currently holds 25,000 people and was one of the venues for the 2011 Copa América, having also hosted some rugby union matches.

It was inaugurated on March 18, 1973, the date on which the club's anniversary is celebrated. It was in a match of the 1st round of 1973 Torneo Regional v Vélez Sársfield de Catamarca, won by Gimnasia y Esgrima 2–0. In 2009, the AFA confirmed Jujuy as one of the venues for the 2011 Copa América, and the stadium was remodeled for that purpose. Works included expansion of the grandstands (up to 24,000 spectators) and addition of press boxes and a giant screen in the north side of the stadium. All the refurbishments allowed Estadio 23 de Agosto to host two matches of the competition.
