History
Built
It was built in 1989 and was opened in 19 January 1996 when the stadium was officially opened in an inaugural match between Tractor Sazi and Machine Sazi. Tractor Sazi played their home matches from 1979 until 1996 in the 20,000 capacity Bagh Shomal Stadium (Takhti Stadium), 1976 AFC Asian Cup stadium. Sahand Stadium (Yadegar-e Emam Stadium) was replaced with Bagh-e Shomal Stadium after it was completed in January 1996 and was the second biggest stadium in Iran with 80,451 at this time. The stadium is also part of Tabriz Olympic Complex.
Renovation
In December 2006 5,000 new seats were installed, and a large jumbotron television was added, along with general repairs costing 350 million toman (about 117,000 USD). Its renovation ended in October 2010. During Sahand Stadium's renovation in 2005 until 2006 years, Bakeri Stadium was the club's home ground in the Azadegan League matches. The stadium has 10,000 capacity.
