Estadio Pedro Bidegain, Football stadium in Flores, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Estadio Pedro Bidegain is a football venue in Flores, a neighborhood of Buenos Aires, and serves as home to one of the city's best-known clubs. The playing field measures 110 by 70 meters and is supported by an advanced drainage system as well as natural grass maintained throughout the year.
After the military government seized the original Viejo Gasómetro in 1979, San Lorenzo constructed this new venue, which opened on December 16, 1993. The opening marked the club's return to having its own home after years without a permanent ground.
This ground is the home of San Lorenzo de Almagro, a club deeply tied to the Boedo neighborhood, even though the venue now stands in Flores. Thousands of supporters gather here to back their team and sing songs that have been part of match days for decades.
Access is provided by several public transport lines that stop nearby, and the venue offers seating for tens of thousands of visitors with areas suited to different needs. Food stands and merchandise outlets are spread across the facility and open on match days.
The name honors Pedro Bidegain, a former president of the club who worked to secure the construction of a new venue. The designation recalls his role in bringing the project to life after years of planning.
