Estadio Nueva Chicago

The Estadio Nueva Chicago is a concrete football stadium with traditional grandstands that holds about 17,500 spectators. The facility consists of multiple sections with different seating areas designed to accommodate various visitor categories.

The stadium opened in 1940 with a victory against Sportivo Buenos Aires, marking Nueva Chicago's advancement to the Segunda División. A few years later, a cycling track was built around the venue and eventually transformed into a racing circuit.

The supporters of Nueva Chicago gather regularly here and shape the daily life of the Mataderos neighborhood through their shared passion for football. These meetings have become woven into how the community identifies itself.

The stadium sits on Avenida Justo Suárez and is easily reached by public transport, with several bus lines serving the area. On match days, the neighborhood becomes lively and parking can be limited, so arriving early is wise.

The original cycling track added in 1944 was an unexpected feature for a football stadium and drew different kinds of sports fans. This dual-purpose design made the grounds serve multiple sporting communities for many years.
