Luna Park Stadium, Indoor arena in San Nicolás, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Luna Park is an indoor arena in the San Nicolás neighborhood at the crossing of Avenida Corrientes and Avenida Bouchard, with a capacity of about 9,200 people. The building features art deco lines with tall windows and a brick facade that recalls large American halls.
The arena opened in 1932 and remained a central spot for sports and large events in Buenos Aires across the decades. In 1944, a charity gathering took place here where Juan Perón met Eva Duarte, an encounter with far-reaching political consequences for Argentina.
Throughout its existence, the venue has hosted performances by Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Luciano Pavarotti, and served as a stage for Pope John Paul II's visit.
The building stands right on busy Corrientes and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. Evening events draw many visitors, so arriving early and checking the program in advance can help plan your visit.
In 1923, the first telephonic transmission in Latin America took place here when the boxing match between Jack Dempsey and Luis Ángel Firpo was broadcast live. Years later, Pope John Paul II held a mass in front of thousands of followers in 1982, an event many Argentinians still remember.
