The name on the ground changed in June 2024, and it changed for a reason: José Américo Montanini Ruetti, Atlético Bucaramanga's all-time leading scorer, had died the previous November.

Atlético Bucaramanga first used the ground in 1949 and has played there without interruption since 1972. The ground grew with the club and with the city's turns as host: it held 10,000 when the National Games came in 1941, 15,000 from 1972, and 28,000 after the National Games returned in 1996. The most recent rebuild, completed in 2017, added seating across every stand yet left the capacity lower than before, at 25,000. That work also brought corruption cases that outlived the construction itself.

The surface has been reworked more than once. Artificial turf was laid in 2006 and taken up ten years later; the pitch is now Bermuda 419 grass.

Women's football has given the ground two of its bigger nights — the 2010 South American Under-20 Championship final and the 2022 Copa América Femenina final. Colombia's men beat Venezuela 5-2 here in 2008. Pelé visited in 1975. In 2024, when Bucaramanga won the Liga BetPlay for the first time, the ground opened its gates for the final's viewing party.

A further expansion, to between 32,000 and 35,000, is planned to meet CONMEBOL Libertadores requirements.
