Estadio Luna Park (commonly known as Luna Park) is a multi-purpose arena in Buenos Aires. Located at the corner of Avenida Corrientes and Avenida Bouchard; in the San Nicolás neighborhood. Initially, the arena primarily hosted boxing and other sporting events. In the 1950s, it was expanded to host stage shows and concerts.
The stadium has hosted countless internationally famous personalities, including Pope John Paul II, several ballets, tennis and volleyball matches, world championship and important non-championship boxing fights involving Nicolino Locche,[4] Hugo Corro,[5] Santos Laciar,[6] Carlos Monzón,[7] Omar Narvaez,[8] Juan Roldán, Julio César Vásquez[9] and many other famous boxers, circuses, the Harlem Globetrotters, Holiday on Ice and many more.
The arena also hosted the 1950 FIBA World Championship, the final phase of the 1990 Basketball World Championship[10] and the 1976 Basketball Intercontinental Cup in which Real Madrid won the competition.[11]
The arena also hosted the Six Days of Buenos Aires cycle race.
