La Bombonera, Football stadium in La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
La Bombonera is the football stadium of Boca Juniors in the La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The three curved tiers and one separate stand are arranged so the upper levels lean forward, giving all spectators clear sight of the pitch.
The stadium opened on May 25, 1940, with a match between Boca Juniors and San Lorenzo ending 2-0. It has since undergone several expansions and renovations to accommodate the growing number of supporters.
The stadium's nickname comes from architect Viktor Sulčič, who noticed the building resembled a chocolate box during construction. Fans use this nickname daily and it has become a symbol of the passion experienced here every match day.
The stadium sits at Brandsen 805 at the intersection with Del Valle Iberlucea Street and holds 58,000 spectators for football matches. Visitors should arrive early because streets around the stadium become very crowded on match days and access takes time.
The structure creates special acoustics when fans jump and sing, causing the concrete construction to vibrate in a controlled way. This phenomenon has given the stadium a reputation as one of the loudest and most intense experiences in world football.
