The Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium (Spanish: Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi), also known as Estadio Uno, is a football stadium located in the city of La Plata, Argentina. With a seat capacity of 35,530, the stadium is the home field of club Estudiantes de La Plata.
Because of its technological innovations and environmental sustainability, the stadium is regarded as one of the most modern venues in Argentina.[4][5][6] The stadium is also one of the oldest in Argentina so it was established at "Paseo del Bosque" park in 1906.[7]
The stadium is named after Jorge Luis Hirschi, who served as Estudiantes' president between 1927 and 1932, and is located on 1st Avenue between 55th and 57th Streets. It is thus also known as 1 y 57 (referring to its location on 1 and 57 streets). It was formally inaugurated on 25 December 1907. The arena was the venue where Estudiantes obtained the 1913 amateur league title, and where fans enjoyed los profesores ("the professors"), the famous 1930s offensive line of Lauri-Scopelli-Zozaya-Ferreyra-Guayta.
In its initial incarnation (1907 to 2005) the stadium held up to 28,000 people, mostly standing-room, even though security measures would reduce its actual capacity to about 22,000. Its relatively meager size made Estudiantes use Boca Juniors' Bombonera stadium for its Copa Libertadores games.
