TheEstadio Municipal de Butarque, officially namedOntime Butarque,[3] is a multi-use stadium located inLeganés,Spain. It is currently used for football matches and is the home stadium ofCD Leganés.
The stadium shares its name (Butarque) with that of the main water stream passing through Leganés (Arroyo Butarque [es]), with that of the patron saint of the municipality, and with that of a public park in the stadium's surroundings.[4] The stadium was built between 1997 and 1998 with the aim to replace the old field in the city, theEstadio Luis Rodríguez de Miguel. Butarque was inaugurated on 14 February 1998, with a game between Leganés andXerez.
