I went here on my own to see a game (KO 17.10 on a Saturday). The bus journey from Montserrat was smooth and dropped me near the stadium. It was then easy to purchase a ticket (750 pesos) at a white ticket booth outside the ground. The stadium is very exposed so if you’re at a day-time match and it’s sunny bring hat etc. After the match I got the bus back into town from the main road to the Southwest of the stadium. This took a while (around 25 mins) as many buses drove past without stopping as they were full. There were a lot of people around also waiting for the bus so I felt completely safe despite warnings about the area I had read.

I attended two football games in BA and the better atmosphere was definitely at San Lorenzo. The place to be is with the home fans behind the goal, known as Popular Deste. The singing and jumping starts before kickoff and reaches frenzy when the Crows score, though I was nervous at how much the stand was shaking. I was warned it is a dodgy neighbourhood, so I travelled by taxi at 100 pesos each way. Once inside I felt no concern at all. Ticket 300 pesos.
