Estadio Olímpico
Montevideo, Uruguay
Formerly: Parque Nelson
Estadio Olímpico Pedro Arispe sits on the banks of the Río de la Plata, where the pitch borders the water directly, separated only by a wall rather than the usual concrete stands. The ground is a relic of a time when a club could quarry and cut stone by hand to rebuild its own home. In 1966, the fans of Rampla Juniors swept their pickaxes through the original wooden stands, replacing them with concrete tiers and earning the nickname "Los Picapiedras" (The Flintstones).
The stadium opened in 1923 under the name Parque Nelson, named after Admiral Horatio Nelson. The scale of the place is modest; the official capacity sits at 9,500, with some sources suggesting a seated limit of 6,190.
The pitch is natural grass, though the surrounding area holds the weight of a century. The club celebrated the stadium's centenary in 2023, marking the passage of time. Today, the stadium serves as the home ground for Rampla Juniors, a club that remains deeply rooted in the Villa del Cerro neighbourhood, defined by its proximity to the river and the concrete built by its own supporters.
