Estadio Pedro Bidegain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Estadio Pedro Bidegain, nicknamed El Nuevo Gasómetro, is San Lorenzo's multi-use stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, located in the barrio of Flores. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 42,000 and was built in 1994. San Lorenzo's old stadium, "el Gasometro", in the nearby barrio of Boedo, has to be sold in 1979, given the club's then dire financial situation. A supermarket of the french company Carrefour was build on the premises. Unquestionably, that was a very bitter pill to swallow for San Lorenzo's fans.

Regarding the new stadium, a shantytown has grown nearby at the time it was being built, so there are security and crime issues (especially for nighttime matches).
