The stadium is currently in bad condition. Many of the seats in the stands are missing or are damaged. In general, the stadium is in need of renovation. In 2016, Farul returned to play in the facility. It is maintained in an operating condition, but there are currently no plans to renew or renovate the stadium. In 2018, supporters of Farul have asked the municipality in an open letter for financial support, also in order to renovate or rebuild the stadium. No plans to renew the facility have been published yet. [2]
