 | Buenos Aires Football Reviews | 11 - 20 of 42 |  |
Club Atlético Boca Juniors or simply Boca Juniors, is one of the most popular football clubs in the world. A trip to the Bonbonera ("chocolate box" in English) is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Buenos Aires. In terms of being tourist friendly, River Plate has the better facilities and is in the better side of town, so consider yourself warned that the La Boca neighborhood is not the best area of the city.
The club was started by Italian immigrants in 1905. It is rich with history and their fans are rich with passion. The stadium itself is surrounded by club hangouts where fans eat and drink before attending the match. It is also rank with people selling fake Boca Juniors merchandise. Inside the stadium, alcohol is not permitted and the two stands behind the goal are the most passionate and also dangerous as they lack supervision and seat assignments. It is best to purchase box seats or seats in the main grandstand.
Bring a poncho with you in the event of rain. If you don't, the vendors walking around the stands sell them for around $5.00 Leave a Comment

I used the services of GoFootball. They came to my apartment to pick me up and then took me to the River Plate stadium.
The River Plate stadium is a large, coliseum type stadium. There is a football patch with a running track surrounding it. We we seated on the reserved seat section on the second deck.
Almost the entire home side of the stadium was completely packed. The "hooligans" are standing in the sections behind the goals. They are singing and waving flags the enire game.
After the game we were wisked away in vans that were park pretty much right outside the stadium.
The total cost for this game was $100 peso.
If you are going to a River Plate game, either wear neutral colors or a River Plate shirt. Leave a Comment

On arrival in Argentina, I wanted to experience Argentine Polo. I found by chance an English Sports and Travel agency based In Buenos Aires called Playargentina which offered incredible prices not only for Polo but for other equestrian activities. I strongly recommend the Estancia rides and the Polo. Hooked now and can not wait to return to Argentina to ride more.
If can rent or borrow all from the schools Leave a Comment

It was the highlight of my Argentinian trip. i knew before hand that passion was a big thing in futbol stadiums but i have never imagined something that powerfull. As i went to a big game i took from a guidebook called Buenos aires day & night that was in my hostel the adress of tangol, a trvel agency that picked me up 2 hours before the game in a vana took me to the River Stadium. it was so full of people all covered in red & white. People standing near me would give me newspaper to cut in pieces to trow away ones the first team get into the field. 70thousends people singing andjumping in therir seats. Emotionl, River wn in the last minute and the people stayed inside the stadium for 30 more minutes celebreting the victory. i took 200 pics and made a few videos too:) this guys are reacheble in their website http:www.tangol.com and there are games most weekends and some week days all over the year. Don't take valuables that can call the attention of a pickpocket. Bife the chorizo, ice creams from freddo and futbol is the must do in Argentina.
I hope you can feel all this music, energy, vibration:)
