History

The stadium was named after Piercesare Tombolato, a goalkeeper of Cittadella who died in hospital after a collision with a rival player in a match against Calcio Padova in 1957.[2][3]

The stadium's capacity was boosted to 7,500 for the 2008–09 season, in order to enable A.S. Cittadella play in their home town, though it needed a dispensation from the FIGC, that requires a stadium of at least 10,000 seats for Serie B. The first game in the renovated stadium was against A.C. Ancona on October 29, 2008.
