Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium is located on 1st Avenue, between 55th and 57th Streets, in La Plata. In its previous incarnation, it had room for 23,000. The wooden stands behind the goal-lines were standing-room only. The stands next to the avenue were sitting-room, and were separated from the avenue by a row of tile trees. The opposite side was roofed and had the best seating arrangements. The noisiest fans used to occupy the 55th Street "popular", while visiting fans were often directed to the 57th St. "popular", opposite a technical high school (whose inconvenient location was responsible for the relatively small size of the pitch, at 105 x 68 m).
