Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao Lopez (nicknamed "El Cementerio de Los Elefantes") is a football stadium in Santa Fe, Argentina. It is the home stadium of Club Atlético Colón. The stadium has a capacity of 33,458, and was first opened in 1946.[1]
The ground's nickname (Elephants Graveyard in English) occurred as a result of Colon's numerous wins there against major teams.[2]
It has also been used occasionally for Argentina rugby internationals, most recently in 2007 for a test against Ireland.
