It is a multi use stadium but mostly used for football matches. Capacity is 43,494 and inauguration was in 1993. San Lorenzo's old ground, the historic Gasómetro in nearby Boedo was expropriated by the military government in 1979. They said they needed to open new streets through the stadium but they really sold the place to a french supermarket.
