The stadium is named after the Greek socialist, politician and peace activist
Grigoris Lambrakis. It is commonly referred to by its nickname "El Paso" (), a reference to
Clint Eastwood's 1965
Spaghetti Western film
For a Few Dollars More (which had the Greek title
Duel in El Paso), as the stadium was built on the site of a
quarry and features a tall rock along the north side of the pitch, which was thought to be reminiscent of scenes from the film. ==Gallery==
