Apart from Huracán, other clubs of Corrientes have used the stadium to host their home football matches, some of they are Boca Unidos,[4] Deportivo Mandiyú,[5][6] and Textil Mandiyú.[7]

The stadium was named after José Romero Feris, a politician with a long career who served as Governor of the province (1983–87),[8] and Senator of Argentina (1987–2001)[9] among other positions.[10] Romero Feris also served as president of Huracán and was promotor of its construction.[2]

Located in the Barrio Berón de Astrada of Corrientes, the stadium was inaugured on 26 July 2016,[2] in a 1986–87 Primera B Nacional match between Deportivo Mandiyú and Deportivo Armenio that resulted in a scoreless tie.[11] Then President of the Argentine Football Association, Julio Grondona, kicked off the match.[2]
