It is the first stadium in Uruguay to bear the name of a woman, after, in May 2017, the club's members voted to add the name of María Mincheff de Lazaroff, mother of Miguel and Juan Lazaroff, co-founders of the club, to the stadium.
It has been under constant renovation since 1997. It has a capacity for 18,000 seated people, although in "high-risk" matches, for security reasons only 10,000 tickets are enabled.
In 2017, the stadium name was changed to Jardines del Hipódromo "María Mincheff de Lazaroff" after the mother of the founders of the club Miguel and Juan Lazaroff (of Bulgarian descent).
