History
The stadium was named after Arturo Collana, a sports journalist among the founding members.
S.S.C. Napoli were official tenants of the stadium during the 1933–34 season onwards, as their stadium Stadio Giorgio Ascarelli was having problems. After the World War II it was for a time renamed Stadio della Liberazione; Napoli would continue using it until moving to their current home of Stadio San Paolo in 1959.
Since the 1960s a club from Naples called Internapoli have played at the stadium. It was completely restructured in 1970 and has become a multi-use sports center where athletics, football and rugby games are carried out.
