The stadium capacity is 10,500 people (all-seated).
Due to the effects of the 2010 Chile earthquake that severely damaged Estadio El Morro, Naval played their home matches in Huachipato-CAP Acero until 2012. The stadium is also rented by other teams as a neutral ground for football matches when their own grounds are unavailable.
