Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, Football stadium in La Plata, Argentina.
Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi stands on Avenida 1 between calles 55 and 57, inside the Paseo del Bosque park, and holds 32,530 spectators. Four tiers of red plastic seats, some with white lettering on the backrests, surround a green pitch with a running track and a blue circular logo at its centre. The eastern stands carry the white block letters "TIERRA DE CAMPEONES", and a red banner with a white crest hangs in the far stand.
The stadium opened on December 25, 1907, and served as the home ground for the club for many years. A comprehensive rebuild took place from 2008 to 2019, which modernized and updated all of its infrastructure.
Fans have called the ground "Tierra de Campeones" (Land of Champions) since the 1960s, and the phrase appears in large white letters across the eastern stands. The stadium is also known simply as "1 y 57" after its location on 1st Avenue at 57th Street. In 1912 Estudiantes registered with the Argentine Rugby Union, and the venue has hosted rugby matches since then.
