It is of late construction and seems to break away from the earlier power structures and marks a reorientation of the site's architectural style. The field of the Ball Court must have been inaugurated towards the second half of the 8th century CE. This can be deduced by the inscription date of 22 August 731 found on a stele that was cut into four parts and its fragments used as building material on the corners of the building. It is supposed that an earlier Ball Court existed.
