 The club was forced to find a different location and its members invaded an abandoned open space to the south of the Hatikva Quarter and built the stadium there.At first, the field was oriented north-south, but the club was forced to re-orient the stadium to south-north, as a building was built on the pitch's north edge.In 1959, following Bnei Yehuda's promotion to the top division, the ground was renovated and the pitch was converted to a grass surface.
