History

The idea of constructing Estadio Altamira (initially called Estadio Deportivo Sur de Tamaulipas), was the initiative of the founder of the club, Enrique de Hita Yibale. The effort was done as a whole, along with the State and Municipal Authorities; and the Office of Urban Development of the Industrial Port of Altamira. On December 17, 2002, the construction was approved.

The construction began in January 2003, and it was billed as "modern and the only in his type in the whole Mexican Republic". The tribunes and the playing field are of European type, which allows that the sight of a comfortably seated fan should be excellent from any angle of the tribunes. Behind the north goalpost, a forum called "Foro Modelo", is in the shape of half a ball makes it more exclusive.[3]

The stadium was inaugurated on October 19, 2003 during a match between Estudiantes de Altamira and Acapulco FC, corresponding to week 13 of the Apertura 2003 in the Mexican Primera A (now Liga de Ascenso). At the north goalpost, Carlos Alberto Rodríguez scored the first goal in the stadium's history. Altamira would eventually win the match 1-nil.

Probably the biggest game the stadium has hosted was on January 11, 2004, with the visit of Pumas UNAM and their head coach Hugo Sánchez. There was a full house for this pre-season friendly prior to the beginning of the Clausura 2004 tournament. The final score was 5-4 in favor of Pumas.
