À propos du lieu

Matchdays transform the surrounding residential district into an open gathering for green supporters.

The arena originated as Estadio de la Exposición for the Ibero-American Exposition under plans by Aníbal González Álvarez-Ossorio and Antonio Illanes del Río, with engineering input from Manuel María Smith. Real Betis became the primary tenant and later bought the ground outright under club leadership from Benito Villamarín. During wartime conflict the municipality requisitioned the venue for military housing.

Subsequent expansions widened the stands to accommodate global tournament fixtures, while architect Antonio Delgado y Roig redesigned sections of the ground. Club members voted to restore the Benito Villamarín name after an interim period under another president. Extensive rebuilding of the main grandstand currently relocates first-team matches to Estadio de La Cartuja, altering neighborhood traffic patterns.
