Architect Lange was the author of the project for a new stadium. That project was supervised by engineer Wieland. The grandstands were built by César Gervasi and Conrado Grotstchl. Works had a cost of m$n81,000.
The stadium was inaugurated on 27 May 1948 under the presidency of Rubén Monguzzi. Celebrations ended with a friendly match between Racing and Club Atlético Belgrano, champion of Liga Cordobesa. Racing won 4–3. The recently inaugurated venue had a 70 metre-width official grandstand for 4,000 spectators with 25 tiers, a popular stand with 12 tiers, and the stalls.
In May 1976, the stadium was given the name "Miguel Sancho" as a tribute to a former president that leaded the club for 24 years. Mario Spirópulos was the president by then.
The stadium was refurbished in 1984 under the presidency of Donato Antonacci. One year later, a lighting system was installed.
