Víctor Legrotaglie Stadium, Football stadium in Parque General San Martín, Mendoza, Argentina.
Víctor Legrotaglie Stadium is a football ground in Mendoza's Parque General San Martín, at the intersection of Boulogne Sur Mer and Carlos Washington Lencinas avenues. It holds about 14,000 spectators, with a west grandstand whose upper tier is named Juan Gilberto Funes and side sections Samuel Kolton and Salem Nazar. A gym and buffet sit beneath the west stand, and a synthetic auxiliary pitch lies beside it.
This ground opened in 1934 and later became the first in the province to have artificial lighting for evening football matches. This technical upgrade occurred in the 1940s and represented an important advancement for local sport.
The ground hosted the first central ceremony of the Fiesta Nacional de la Vendimia in 1936, before the grape harvest festival found other venues. Its name honours Víctor Antonio Legrotaglie, the club's most emblematic player. The western stand's upper tier is called "Juan Gilberto Funes" after the striker who became a club idol, while the north and south sections bear the names of former presidents Samuel Kolton and Salem Nazar.
The stadium sits at a main intersection and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should note that access conditions and entry routes may vary depending on the event being held.
