Along with the Monumental and the two Avellaneda stadiums, La Bombonera is one of the great Argentine football stadiums, especially because of the atmosphere there and its curious design with four stands, one of which is completely full of boxes.

Well, for several years now some Boca Juniors leaders have talked regarding expanding and remodeling the stage, but there were always some obstacles, such as the obligation to buy the two half blocks that surround the stadium.

However, despite the difficulties, the leadership led by President Juan Román Riquelme would already have in their hands the plan to expand the stadium to 90,000 people without having to buy those blocks.

“Our project, what we managed to do, is not to buy from any neighbors, not to invade any streets, not to leave La Bombonera. Renew the existing field. We raised the playing field regarding 7.80 meters and moved towards the tracks, that allows us to do larger field. The first ring would disappear and VIP boxes too, we completed two trays and added a new one above. Without invading the street. And the court would end up having three covered trays for 90,000 spectators with 440 VIP boxes. It is like a magic pass.” , said Rodrigo Vidal in dialogue with the Argentine media Olé.

As for the details of the boxes, they would be duplex and for six people, one at the level of the playing field as it is now and the rest distributed between the second and third trays.

Along with the stadium, Boca was presented with a project where a complex would also be built with a micro-stadium for basketball with a capacity of 15,860 spectators located in Casa Amarilla, the club’s sports complex.

In addition, there will be a five-star hotel, apartments, gym, premises and a parking lot and a public plaza will be built to improve access to the main stadium.

It should be noted that the construction of the new Bombonera might take between 12 and 18 and the costs are not known, but it is mentioned that a new stadium will be created and much more economical than buying the blocks that were needed.
