La Bombonera

La Bombonera from the air in October 2025, painted Boca Juniors blue and gold and squeezed into the streets of La Boca. The aerial view explains its odd D shape: three steep stands on three sides, and a flatter side made mostly of boxes, because the houses across the street left no room for more. It opened in May 1940. With the stands so close to the pitch, the noise has nowhere to go, which is why a Boca home game, above all against River Plate, sits at the top of so many fans' wish lists.
