==History and characteristics== The stadium shares its name (Butarque) with that of the main water stream passing through Leganés ({{ill|Arroyo Butarque|es}}), with that of the patron saint of the municipality, and with that of a public park in the stadium's surroundings.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elpais.com/diario/1996/12/12/madrid/850393465_850215.html|publisher=El País|language=es|date=12 December 1996 |access-date=5 June 2016 |title=El nuevo estadio del Lega se llamará Butarque |trans-title= The New Stadium of Lega will be called Butarque }}</ref> The stadium was built between 1997 and 1998 with the aim to replace the old field in the city, the Estadio Luis Rodríguez de Miguel. Butarque was inaugurated on 14 February 1998, with a game between Leganés and Xerez.
With an original capacity of 8,138, Butarque was expanded to 10,954 seats divided into four sectors after Leganés’ promotion to La Liga in 2016.<ref name="capacidad">{{cite news|title=Instalaciones|url=http://www.deportivoleganes.com/club/instalaciones|editor=Club Deportivo Leganés|language=es|date=14 September 2016|access-date=14 September 2016|archive-date=5 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505165201/https://www.deportivoleganes.com/club/instalaciones|url-status=dead}}</ref>
