Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti
The Estadio Monumental Antonio V. Liberti, better known as El Monumental, is a stadium in the Nuñez district of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is the home of Club Atlético River Plate and is named after the former president Antonio Vespucio Liberti.
The stadium has room for 65,645 people, and was renewed for the 1978 World Cup; the opening and final matches were both held in the Monumental, which had a capacity of 76,600 at the time because all of the populares stands were standing-room.
The stadium complex also has facilities for tennis, basketball, and other sports, as well as living quarters for young footballers, a theatre hall, etc. It can be accessed by several train and bus lines, as it is located within walking distance from the Barrancas de Belgrano transportation hub. Contrary to most other stadiums in the Buenos Aires area, there is a sizable parking lot near the stadium.
