For many years the 42,000 capacity was its official limit, until it was again changed to 45,000 for the 2004 Copa América Group A Soccer Games held in Peru. Very popular international soccer teams and renowned players have played in this stadium, including Spain 's Real Madrid and Belarus's National Football Team , as well as players like Pelé and Maradona in previous years.

Thanks to a 5-million dollar government investment program to remodel older Peruvian stadiums, spectators were able to enjoy games with the high standards required by CONMEBOL for the Copa América 2004 soccer competitions. In return the country received throngs of Tourists , international media coverage, and more locals buying tickets to attend the games. Peru's biggest stadium, Estadio Monumental "U" , is also located in Lima with a capacity of 80,093 and belongs to the Universitario De Deportes team, although it was not used for the Copa América 2004 .
