Designed in the mid-1970s and built in the second half of the 1980s, [3] the stadium remained unfinished for about thirty years. The stadium was completed between 2015 and 2017 on the initiative of local football team Frosinone Calcio, who won a lease for the stadium from the local council for 90 years, [4] in order to replace the old municipal stadium.
With a capacity of 16,227, [1] [5] [6] it is the largest stadium found in the province, and the third in Lazio. [7]
It is dedicated to the memory of Benito Stirpe , [8] entrepreneur and chairman of Frosinone Calcio in the 1960s, and father of Maurizio Stirpe , his successor at the helm of the club. [9] [10]
The total cost of the stadium was approximately €20 million, [11] of which approximately €15 million went to the 2015–2017 construction completion. [4]
