Estadio Tres de Febrero is astadium located in theJosé Ingenieros district ofTres de Febrero Partido inArgentina. It is owned and operated byClub Almagro. The venue was inaugurated in 1956, and refurbished in 2000, the same year Almagro promoted toPrimera División.
The stadium has a capacity of 13,000 spectators.[2]
Since its foundation, Almagro played in different venues, most of them in the city ofBuenos Aires. The first venue was located on Ricardo Frías and Villa Lynch streets inSáenz Peña near the railway station ofBuenos Aires and Pacific Railway. Nevertheless the club had to move to Buenos Aires city where it rented a land on Avenida Gaona 102 inParque Centenario. Almagro hosted their home venues there from 1920 to 1927.
The club then played inParque Chas, in a land on Gándara and Londres streets that belonged to the Chas family. That venue was one of the stadiums with most capacity in the city, and apart from football matches, other events were held there. Almagro remained there until 1937, when the club had to leave the lands after the Municipality evicted them to open a street.[3] After that, the club settled on Fraga and Estomba streets inVilla Ortúzar, where it played from 1939 to 1949. The club acquired the former grandstands ofEstadio Alvear y Tagle toC.A. River Plate form$n42,000.[4]
Finally Almagro built its own stadium, located in José Ingenieros in Tres de Febrero partido. The field was inaugurated on 7 April 1956. The stadium would be remodeled in several occasions, but the most important was in 2000 after the team promoted to Primera División.[5][6] The club had to expand the stadium's capacity to fulfill theAFA requirements.
Other refurbishments were made after that, such as the construction of new ticket boxes far from the entrance, after a requirement from local security agencies to prevent agglomerations or other incidents.[7]
