2016 renovations

In 2016, following Lokomotiv GO's promotion to the top flight, the stadium underwent major renovations to meet the licensing criteria of the Bulgarian Football Union. As a result, part of the stands were rebuilt, the floodlight system of the stadium was restored and the grass surface was improved. The stadium was opened in December 2016 for Lokomotiv GO's domestic league match against CSKA Sofia, attracting an attendance of 9,000 spectators.
