About this venue
Estadio Obras is one of Buenos Aires' best-known indoor arenas, located in the Núñez district. Opened in 1978 and originally designed primarily for basketball, the venue has also developed a major reputation as a concert hall and is widely associated with the nickname “Templo del Rock” — the “Temple of Rock.” Depending on the event configuration, capacity is approximately 3,100 spectators for sports and up to 4,700 for concerts, giving it a more intimate atmosphere than the city's largest stadiums.
The compact interior keeps the seating relatively close to the central court or stage, helping create an energetic connection between performers, players and the audience. This layout works particularly well for basketball games and concerts where proximity to the action is part of the experience. Sightlines and seating arrangements vary according to each event configuration, while food, beverage and other event services may also differ by programme.
The exact address is Av. del Libertador 7395, Núñez, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The venue sits directly along Avenida del Libertador, with city bus stops serving the avenue within the immediate area and only a short walk from the entrance. Visitors arriving by car should check event-specific instructions and nearby parking options before travelling.

About the city: Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires, the charismatic capital of Argentina, stands out as a city of entertainment and major events, where the energy of the streets naturally flows into arenas, stadiums, and concert halls. Known for tango, a passion for sport, and a vibrant nightlife, the city attracts visitors traveling for sporting fixtures, concerts, and a wide range of cultural happenings. The breadth of venues and activities means the experience doesn’t end with tickets—Buenos Aires is a city where something is always going on before and after the event.
Getting around is supported by a reliable network: the Subte (underground) and Metrobus connect the city’s main corridors, while suburban trains make access from the wider metropolitan area even easier. If you arrive by rail, hubs such as Estación Retiro, Estación Plaza Constitución, and Estación Once help you switch quickly toward the neighborhoods where venues and stadiums are located. If you fly in, Aeropuerto Internacional Ministro Pistarini (Ezeiza) and Aeroparque Jorge Newbery offer practical entry points, and the mix of underground lines, bus corridors, and taxis makes it straightforward to reach your accommodation and the event site.
When you have time for a sightseeing bonus, Buenos Aires is best experienced on foot: walk around Plaza de Mayo, take in the Obelisco, and soak up the atmosphere of the historic streets of San Telmo. For a more modern vibe, head to Puerto Madero with its pleasant waterfront promenades, while La Boca and the colorful Caminito add a distinctive, photogenic signature to the city. A stroll along the Río de la Plata or a quick stop at local cafés is a great way to round out the day—whether you’re coming for a match or a concert.
