The reinforced concrete tribuna was put up after a fire in 1927, and that section was bought from another club in 1912. The rest of the ground feels more like a park than a purpose-built arena. The pitch is natural grass, worn smooth in places.

Rugby is played here, and it is a club that has been around for a long time, founded in 1902. That history sits heavy on the place. The capacity is often said to be 4,500, but that number is not one you find everywhere, and it is not etched into the stone. The address is Roque Sáenz Peña 499, tucked away in Acassuso, a locality in the San Isidro district of Buenos Aires Province. The club built it themselves, without an architect or a big construction company, which is why the lines are so simple and direct.

It is a place where the game feels older, before the modern football stadiums went glass and steel.
