The Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez stadium was inaugurated in 1925 after the birth of the CD Tenerife. Previously, the blue and white team played its games in an open field that was located at the corner of the Alfaro and Miraflores streets, a plot of land that belonged to the Tenerife Sporting Club and was lacking any kind of grandstand. The public gathered in the edges of the playing field, and many times would invade it..
The Stadium, a name with which the Heliodoro was baptized, was inaugurated on July 25, 1925. The newpapers of the day spoke of an attendance of some 7,000 people and the inauguration hosted a friendly match between the Tenerife and the Marino de las Palmas. The first goal was made by the local Pascual, and then Teodosio the great canarian, tied the score.
