this slightly affected the overall capacity of the stadium. 1995 In 1995 electric lighting was installed, but it failed to reach the standards of the Bulgarian Football Union. 2008 The stadium underwent minor renovations in the summer. The away team's changing room was moved under the central stand once again, the room was then modernised, other actions included improving the overall safety and security. 2012 The renovations included replacing the field's old grass surface with a new one, under which were set up new drainage, watering and heating systems.
