The first match to be played at the stadium was a Spanish Liga match on February 20, 1982 between Real Valladolid and Athletic Bilbao which ended in a 1-0 victory for Valladolid, the only goal being scored in the 84th minute by Jorge Alonso. The Spanish cup final was played at the stadium in April 1982.
