Estadio Bautista Gargantini is a stadium located on General San Martín Park in the city of Mendoza, Argentina. It is owned and operated by Club Independiente Rivadavia. The stadium holds 24,000 people,[1] being the 2nd. largest stadium in the province after Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.
The stadium is named after Bautista Gargantini, one of the founding members of Independiente Rivadavia and five-times president of the institution. Gargantini was one of the initiators of the merger of Club Atlético Independiente and Club Sportivo Rivadavia, which resulted in the creation of "Independiente Rivadavia".[2]
