Movistar Arena Buenos Aires, Multi-purpose venue in Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Movistar Arena Buenos Aires is a multi-level venue in Villa Crespo that seats thousands of spectators for concerts, sporting events and shows. The building includes a main hall along with side rooms, food service areas and underground parking.
Construction of this venue began in 2014, but the opening was delayed repeatedly due to financial difficulties during the building phase. The first public event took place here in November 2019.
This entertainment center takes its name from the leading mobile operator in Argentina, reflecting the close relationship between entertainment and technology in modern Buenos Aires. Bands from around the world perform here before local audiences who appreciate rock, pop and Latin rhythms equally.
The nearest subway station is a few minutes' walk from the entrance, and several bus lines stop nearby. Visitors should allow some time to pass through security checks, especially when large crowds are expected.
The land under the arena belonged to Club Atlético Atlanta until 1991, when the club sold it to face bankruptcy; the city expropriated it in 2005 and returned it to the club. Movistar must hand the parcels back in 2057, when the concession ends and the ground and building pass to the City of Buenos Aires.
