In 1961 new stands were built and the capacity of the stadium became 28,000. Year 1961 ( MCMLXI) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. The new stands have an U-shaped appearance, as the name of the team that uses it.

When the team relegated to Divizia C in 2000, over half the stadium was declared structurally unsafe for hosting matches and was closed, so the stadium was left with only around 12-13,000 places. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. Yet, once in a match against well supported Bucharest side Steaua in the Romanian Cup on 13th October 2004, there were over 16,000 spectators attending, because many people had jumped over the bars for sector separation.

In early 2006, when the team was a promotion candidate, the problem of building a new stadium was raised, yet even now, after lots of arguments, a solid plan has not been made up, mainly due to disagreements between the local city and county councils. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. The conflict was mainly caused by the value of the land which the stadium was on.
