Owned by Liga Marplatense de Fútbol (the local football league), it was inaugurated in 1952 being the main venue in the city. Most of the most important matches of Mar del Plata football league were hosted

there, as well as some friendly matches of the Argentina national football team. Brazilian team Santos FC (with his superstar Pelé) played four matches at the stadium. When Estadio José María Minella was inaugurated for the 1978 FIFA World Cup it consolidated as the main venue in Mar del Plata while General San Martín was losing importance. The stadium finally closed its doors and was demolished in 1996. A supermarket chain was built on the land previously occupied by Estadio San Martín.
