Estadio de Excursionistas, Football stadium in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Estadio de Excursionistas is a football stadium in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires, with four separate stands arranged around a central pitch. It holds around 9,000 spectators and sits on La Pampa street.
The Club Excursionistas was founded in 1910, and the stadium was built two years later on the very site it still occupies today. This early start makes the ground one of the oldest continuously used football venues in the neighborhood.
The ground is nicknamed El Coliseo del Bajo Belgrano and also called Pampa y Miñones after its corner. It hosted the Pan Caliente festival on 2 January 1982, during the military dictatorship, with over 15,000 spectators and sets by León Gieco, Los Abuelos de la Nada, Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota and Litto Nebbia. In December 2004 the band Callejeros played here.
The stadium is easy to reach by public transit, as it sits in a dense urban area of Buenos Aires. It is worth checking the match calendar in advance, since the ground is mainly active on game days.
Estadio de Excursionistas was among the first Argentine club grounds to install a FIFA-certified artificial turf. At the time, this made it a technical reference point for other clubs in the city.
