Fortín de Ludueña, Football stadium in Ludueña district, Rosario, Argentina
Fortín de Ludueña is a football stadium in the Ludueña neighborhood of Rosario with modern concrete stands and facilities that hold about 10,000 spectators. The grounds contain five changing rooms, press boxes, general admission sections, and reserved seating areas for different types of visitors.
Tiro Federal bought the land at Casilda and Matienzo in Barrio Ludueña on 4 March 1954, and the stadium opened in 1956. After the club reached Torneo Argentino B in 1998, low capacity and decay forced home matches into other grounds. The 2001 refurbishment replaced the single wooden stand with concrete blocks on iron frames, added three stands, and the ground was reinaugurated on 9 December 2001 with a 2–2 draw against San Martín de Tucumán.
Tiro Federal's ground takes its nickname from the large doors placed outside the stadium, which made it resemble a fortification. The club played at other sites before settling on Casilda and Matienzo in Barrio Ludueña, and the ground was reinaugurated on 9 December 2001 with a 2–2 draw against San Martín de Tucumán.
The stadium is located at the intersection of Casilda and Matienzo streets and is easy to reach. The seating areas are clearly organized, so visitors can easily find their way to their sections.
Tiro Federal played at three earlier grounds before moving to Casilda and Matienzo: Humberto Primo and Goosweiler (1905–1926), Barrio Industrial (1929) and the "cancha del tanque" on Boulevard 27 de Febrero. The Ludueña land was bought on 4 March 1954, and the ground was reinaugurated on 9 December 2001 with a 2–2 draw against San Martín de Tucumán.
