Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López, Football stadium in Florida, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López is a football stadium in the Florida neighborhood with two main grandstands offering around 28,000 seats. The facility was built specifically for the local club and includes standard infrastructure for professional matches.
The stadium was completed in the late 1970s and welcomed its first major matches at that time. This opening marked a turning point for local football in this area of Buenos Aires.
The stadium has been closely tied to the Florida neighborhood since its creation and serves as a gathering place for local supporters. Residents view it as a central point of community pride.
The stadium is easily reached by public transportation with multiple bus lines stopping nearby. A railway station is also located close by for convenient access.
The velodrome opened in February 1941 beside Platense's old ground on Manuela Pedraza and Crámer in Núñez, not next to today's stadium in Florida. For years it was the only velodrome in Buenos Aires, and the club's basketball team played at its centre. It was demolished in 1965 when the field was enlarged to 110 x 70 m.
