Estadio Alberto J. Armando

The excitement and energy of seeing a CABJ Football match live was like nothing else... a must if you're visiting Buenos Aires. Look at my videos and photos; the experience was spectacular. Being part of the crowd was all-consuming and the Boca Juniors won the game during injury time. You couldn't hope for anything more!
Now some notes on tourists visiting the stadium:
Don't bring anything with you - no bags (including purses), no valuables, nothing except your phone. Dress down and dress comfortable - you'll probably stand the entire time so wear comfortable shoes. Everyone wears CABJ gear (Blue and Yellow) so don't wear River Plate colors (Red and White).
There will be 4 security checkpoints when you enter. You will present your ID and your ticket to scan. They will pat you down and you can't have anything in your pockets - this is where having a bag with you would make things complex. Getting to the entrance is a bit of a labyrinth so follow the crowd or, better yet, go with a tour. A tour will allow you to enjoy the experience and not try to figure it out as you go along. This will also alleviate any issues with counterfeit tickets.
The waiting list for a ticket is around 10-years as there are only season ticket holders so, not matter what, you're getting a scalped ticket. My ticket was 2900 Argentinian Pesos (about $13) but you will spend at least 10x that price on your scalped ticket, so buy it from a reputable place and I'd be wary of anyone trying to sell you the ticket for much less than 10x because it's probably too good to be true.
There is zero alcohol sold in the stadium and the food looked pretty meh - some kind of meat in bread wrapped in aluminum foil - so eat before and drink before. The bathrooms are also a bit meh, but that's to be expected in any stadium. You're there for the excitement, not the food or the facilities.
When you're there, the crowd is passionate and they'll want you to participate but you probably won't be able to because there are several different songs and chants, not just one to memorize. But it doesn't matter. Scream your loudest! Have fun! This was my favorite thing that we did in Buenos Aires!!

The most beautiful stadium in Argentina. The fans, the atmosphere, the team, it's truly a once in a lifetime experience. They also have a museum with all the teams, accomplishments, and trophies that you should check out. This is the temple of football, I highly recommend you make the pilgrimage.

It is without a doubt a once in a life time thing you must do if you like soccer/football. Go to see the famous Boca juniors play and their fans support them. We went to a match versus temperley in the blazing sunshine. They won 4 - 0 and the crowd went wild for every goal. The atmosphere is like no other. It really is the noisiest I have experienced and I have been to hundreds of matches in ten different countries.

This is a must do if you are visiting BA.

(I would make sure you have a local with you to get you in and out the stadium in one piece)

What an experience!!! Great stadium and great crowd. Its quite dated but thats what adds the charm! As an avid sports fan who frequents arenas and stadiums all over the world it was a decent place. I've seen better (Maracana, Staples Center, etc.) but I've seen worse. I would go back and make sure to eat before hand as the food options are limited.
