La Bombonera

Opened 1940, home of Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires

Overview

The chocolate box: three near vertical stands and a fourth flat side stacked with apartments, wedged into La Boca by the old port. Fans claim the stands sway when the crowd jumps, an engineering legend. Maradona played here and stayed as its greatest idol. Capacity is about 54,000, small, steep and deafening.
