History
editThe sports center was designed by architect Efrén García Fernández in 1966.[2] In 2023, the 2,8-million-euro project to renovate the building's design and infrastructures, dubbed Palacio Deportes León Next Generation, was initiated.[3] It was completed in May 2024, in time for the annual San Juan y San Pedro feast.[4] Only the club CB Ademar León received a financial compensation for the disturbance caused by the construction.[5]
