Bautista Gargantini Stadium, Football stadium in Mendoza, Argentina
Bautista Gargantini Stadium sits within General San Martin Park and features concrete grandstands with room for around 14,000 spectators spread across different sections. The natural grass field measures 100 by 70 meters and has separate areas for home and visiting supporters.
The stadium opened on April 5, 1925, with an inaugural match between Independiente Rivadavia and Uruguayan club Peñarol, which Peñarol won 2-0. This opening game marked the beginning of its long role as a venue for football in Mendoza.
The venue earned the nickname 'La Catedral del Parque' because of how it stands prominently within the park and serves as a gathering place for the local sporting community. Fans consider it a symbol of football tradition in the region.
The stadium is located at Avenida Boulogne Sur Mer 688 and is easy to find since it sits within General San Martin Park. It is worth allowing extra time before a match to locate the correct entrance and seating area.
The western grandstand was the first concrete-built spectator section in Argentine football, marking a major step forward in how stadiums were constructed. This structure is recognized by experts as a turning point in how modern sports venues were built at that time.
