History
The club announced the construction of a new stadium in November 1987, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the institution. Proyect was directed by architect Iván Urbán (also a Quilmes supporter) and works began one year later. The stadium was partially opened in 1993 with a friendly match between "Quilmes Campeón" (a combined with former players of the 1978 Primera División champion team) and an all-time stars combined team.

The venue was officially inaugurated on April 25, 1995, with the name "Estadio Centenario 'José Luis Meiszner'". Meizner was then the president of Quilmes. Celebrations included a match between Quilmes and Uruguayan club Nacional, won by Quilmes 2–1.

On June 30, 1995, the Argentina national football team played for the first time in Estadio Centenario v. Australia, winning 20 with goals scored by Abel Balbo and Gabriel Batistuta. The stadium was refurbished and later re-opened in November 1998.

The old Quilmes stadium located on Guido and Sarmiento streets (behind the club's headquarters) was demolished. The stadium has been used by other teams such as Estudiantes de La Plata in the 2010 Apertura championship, which also won coached by Alejandro Sabella.

In 2016, the club (led by new president Marcelo Callelo) changed the name of the stadium to "Estadio Centenario Ciudad de Quilmes", removing the name of the former president after he was involved in the 2015 FIFA corruption case. Meiszner had managed the club for over 30 years, apart from being a close collaborator of Julio Grondona in the Argentine Football Association.

What we want to do is to change the image of the club (...) We didn't want to see it being associated to mafia or illicit acts. Thus, changing the stadium name was an important step for that purpose.
