Estadio Boca Juniors, mostly known as Estadio Brandsen y Del Crucero, was an association football stadium in La Boca, Buenos Aires. It was located on the square block formed by Brandsen and Del Crucero (Del Valle Iberlucea nowadays) streets, and the Buenos Aires and Ensenada Port Railway tracks and its station, "Casa Amarilla".[2]
Built after the club had to left its previous venue, Estadio Ministro Brin y Senguel, the stadium has a capacity of 25,000 and was the home ground of club Boca Juniors before it was closed in 1938 and demolished to build a stadium with concrete grandstands ("La Bombonera") on the same location.
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.[3]
