Estadio Olímpico, Soccer stadium in Cerro, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Olympic Stadium Pedro Arispe stands near Montevideo Bay with a capacity of 9,500 spectators and concrete stands constructed by local supporters in 1966.
Initially called Parque Nelson in 1923, the stadium received its current name in 2019 to honor Pedro Arispe, Uruguay's Olympic champion in 1924 and 1928.
The concrete stands built by devoted supporters in 1966 led to the nickname 'Picapiedras' for the Rampla Juniors Football Club and its followers.
Two lateral sides of the stadium lack grandstands due to a wall separating the playing field from the Rio de la Plata waters.
During matches, soccer balls frequently land in the Rio de la Plata waters due to the stadium's direct proximity to the river.
