In June 2017, Alajuelense's president Fernando Ocampo reunited with the team's board of directors to discuss whether the team should renovate
their current stadium or build a new one. At the time, the team was negotiating with the municipality of Alajuela to sell the Morera Soto stadium to them and build a new stadium, but the deal did not come to fruition. In September 2018, the team were considering four options for the location of the then-hypothetical new stadium: Villa Bonita,
El Coyol, downtown Alajuela or the Viva Park in
Guácima. In 2018, two designs were proposed: One would see the stadium surrounded by buildings, while the other saw an oval-shaped stadium with roofs on three of the four stands. On 8 April 2021, the team presented the project for the new stadium, a $30 million venue with a capacity of 24,000. A member's assembly held on 17 July 2021 saw the project receive the approval of over 85% of the team's affiliates. ==See also==
