The Estadio Alberto J. Armando (formerly the Estadio Camilo Cichero) is a stadium located in La Boca district of Buenos Aires. Widely known as ''La Bombonera'' ((:la βomboˈneɾa); (英語:the Chocolate Box)) due to its shape, with a "flat" stand on one side of the pitch and three steep stands round the rest of the stadium.〔〔 It has a capacity of 49,000.〔 The stadium is owned by Boca Juniors, one of Argentina's most famous football clubs. The unusual shape of the stadium has led to it having excellent acoustics and the Boca support being nicknamed "La Doce" (The 12th man).〔 The pitch at La Bombonera is the minimum size required under FIFA regulations - 105m x 68m. The stadium, as well as being the home of Boca Juniors, is also used as a concert venue. Past performers at ''La Bombonera'' have included Lenny Kravitz, Sir Elton John, James Blunt, the Bee Gees, the Backstreet Boys, and Cast having performed there.〔 ==History== Construction began on the stadium on February 18, 1938, and Boca played their home matches at the Ferro Carril Oeste Stadium until the new stadium was built. The stadium finally opened on May 25, 1940, with a friendly match between Boca and San Lorenzo, which the home side won 2-0 with both goals scored by Ricardo Alarcón. The stadium originally had two tiers, and in 1949 the club decided to add a third tier, which was completed in 1953; this third tier gave the stadium its enduring nickname: ''La Bombonera''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=10 Intimidating Stadiums (Worldwide) )〕 The stadium was named on April 20, 1986, by team President Antonio Alegre in honor of Camilo Cichero, a former team president under whose tenure work on ''La Bombonera'' began. It was renamed on December 27, 2000, by team President Mauricio Macri in honor of Alberto Armando, team president during its resurgence during the 1960s as well as a former business partner of his father Francisco Macri. The stadium was expanded and modernized during Macri's tenure, notably with the addition in 1996 of a fourth tier; and a wing housing a press area, VIP boxes, a museum, and offices. The stadium's exterior was later decorated with works by painters Rómulo Macció and Pérez Celis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Bombonera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
