Estadio La Portada

Estadio La Portada, Football stadium in La Serena, Chile.

Estadio La Portada is a football stadium with a natural grass playing surface and an athletic track surrounding the field. The venue holds around 18,500 spectators with permanent seating arranged along the stands.

Estadio La Portada opened on 26 August 1952 under the Plan Serena directed by President Gabriel González Videla, replacing the old La Vega field. The pitch was dirt until 29 November 1955, when it was grassed as Club de Deportes La Serena turned professional. After years of structural decay and earthquakes, a rebuild begun in 2013 was inaugurated in 2015 for the Copa América, with a friendly against San Martín de San Juan on 13 May 2015.

The stadium's name references a colonial stone gateway that once marked the city's entrance during 18th century fortifications. This historical connection ties the modern sports venue to the area's past in the minds of local residents.

The stadium sits near the city centre, bordered by Avenida Amunátegui and Balmaceda, the intersection where the colonial stone gateway once stood. The field is natural grass with an athletic track around it, and the stands are permanent. The venue is owned and operated by the municipality of La Serena.

During its early years, the facility used temporary grandstands built over the running track to accommodate more spectators. These makeshift structures were a creative solution to handle growing crowds.
