History and description
Estadio El Madrigal opened on the 17th of June 1923 with a match between CD Castellón and El Cervantes. The stadium was initially named Campo del Villarreal, but this got soon changed to the current name.
Estadio El Madrigal was first renovated in 1952, and further enlarged in the 1960s and 1970s.
The most important redevelopments took place in the 1990s when nearly the whole stadium was reconstructed, resulting in its current form. Works finished in the summer of 1999.
