History
Before settling in Avellaneda in 1906, Independiente played at various grounds in Buenos Aires neighborhoods like Flores, La Paternal, and Recoleta, including a site later used by River Plate at Alvear and Tagle. In 1906, Independiente rented its first field in Crucecita, Avellaneda, staying until 1911. Then, it built a stadium at Mitre and Lacarra, its home until 1928. That year, Independiente opened La Doble Visera, just three blocks from Racing’s stadium. It was Argentina’s first concrete stadium and the third worldwide, hosting major national and international successes and serving early on as Argentina’s main national team venue.
At the end of 2005, president of Independiente, Julio Comparada, announced the project to build a new stadium.
