Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos is amulti-purpose stadium inSoria, Spain. It is currently used mostly forfootball matches and is the home ground ofCD Numancia. The stadium holds 8,261 seats and was built in 1999.[2] It is notoriously cold and over 1,000 metres above sea level, allegedly giving Numancia a strong home advantage in winter.
The move to the new stadium coincided with a rise inCD Numancia fortunes. They were promoted to the Primera in 1999 and spent two seasons there before returning to Segunda A. They returned to the Primera in season 2004-05 but their stay lasted just the one season. They returned to the Primera in season2007–08. They currently play in theSegunda División B.
Prior to 1999,CD Numancia played at the Estadio Municipal Los Pajaritos. It is a basic athletics stadium with a small cantilevered stand on the west side, adjacent to the new stadium. That was even colder, having fewer wind breaks from the stands, with the suggestion that hot showers were only installed in 1996 at the expense ofFC Barcelona, after third-tier Numancia had knocked three other top flight clubs out of theSpanish Cup that year.
In January 2016, a heating system was installed in the stands. It was to be inaugurated on 14 February 2016, in the2015–16 Segunda División game between Numancia andMallorca.[3]
