Boca Juniors (1916–24) |
Giving the stadiums the names of the streets where they were located in was a common practise in those times. It was owned by club Boca Juniors when the club returned to La Boca in 1916. The club used the stadium until 1924, when it moved to a new venue on Brandsen and Del Crucero (currently Del Valle Iberlucea) streets.[1]
The stadium held a total of 25,000 spectators. It was one of two stadiums that hosted the 1925 South American Championship (currently, Copa América), the other being Sportivo Barracas.[2]
