Rodrigo Paz Delgado (also known as “Casa Blanca”) is one of Quito’s most recognizable stadiums and a key stage for Ecuadorian football. Opened in 1997, it was built as the home of LDU Quito and stands out for a bowl-like layout that keeps the stands close to the pitch, amplifying the sense of proximity. With a capacity of around 41,500 seats, it balances big-match scale with an atmosphere that still feels intense and focused.
Inside, the experience is classic stadium drama: strong sightlines from most sections, a unified wall of crowd sound, and a pace that rises quickly once the action starts. On major matchdays, food and drink concessions operate throughout the concourses, and the sector layout typically makes it easy to locate supporter areas and calmer family sections without losing the overall event flow.
The stadium sits at Av. John F. Kennedy 817, Quito, Ecuador. A practical approach is to navigate to Avenida John F. Kennedy and then follow signage to the main gates along the stadium esplanade, with parking usually available on nearby streets and on event-managed areas when opened.
