The city of Rosario officially opened the doors to its newest athletic landmark this Saturday, establishing a modern multi-sport venue designed to anchor upcoming international competition.

Strategic Placement Within Parque Independencia
Located inside the municipal stadium grounds at Parque Independencia—specifically at the intersection of Ovidio Lagos and Dante Alighieri streets—the newly unveiled venue integrates directly into an established athletic cluster. This zone already features the municipal stadium, the municipal speedskating track, and the local track and field facility. The venue will host judo, karate, and artistic roller skating during the upcoming regional games.
Engineering and Capacity Specifications
Constructed as a versatile micro-stadium, the building features a hybrid structural design combining concrete elements with metal frameworks to satisfy strict technical requirements for indoor disciplines. The structure encompasses a covered surface area of 3,500 square meters and a total built footprint of 5,300 square meters across its multiple levels and executive boxes.
The facility provides 2,400 permanent seated places, supplemented by the flexibility to add another 400 spots using temporary seating configurations when major events demand expanded capacity. The playing floor level includes dedicated access routes, spectator restrooms, and specialized seating zones positioned close to entrances to accommodate spectators with reduced mobility.
Broadcast Operations and Media Facilities
Beyond athlete and spectator provisions, the venue includes dedicated media facilities built into its upper tier. The stadium incorporates 16 distinct broadcasting booths, each engineered with capacity for two personnel to support live television and radio coverage for regional and international feeds.
Long-Term Community and Economic Vision
City and regional planners intend for the arena to remain an active community and economic asset long after the continental competitions conclude. The infrastructure is designed to host multi-format events ranging from competitive sports fixtures to tourism, cultural, and gastronomic exhibitions, cementing the Parque Independencia district as a premier international sporting hub.
Immediate Schedule and September Milestone
The venue’s operational readiness continues this Saturday with the conclusion of the third round of the men’s Santa Fe Volleyball Cup, featuring triangular matches across Group A and Group B running from 10:00 to 19:00 local venue time. The facility’s next major international checkpoint arrives in September, when it officially assumes competition duties for the upcoming South American Games.
