Brigadier General Estanislao López Stadium, popularly known as The Elephants Cemetery, is a football stadium in Santa Fe, Argentina. It was inaugurated in 1946 and is owned and operated by Club Atlético Colón, which is based there. For a long time it has also been known as the Elephants Cemetery, due to Colón's wins over notable teams that visited Santa Fe. One of them was the famous Santos of Pelé who fell 2-1 in 1964. This Brazilian team had a record of 43 undefeated matches and was two-time Intercontinental champion at that time. The same Colón team later beat the Argentine team itself 2-0. Other teams that were defeated there were Peñarol in 1967, Millonarios, Olimpia, U de Chile, Alianza Lima, Atlético Mineiro, among others. It currently has the capacity to hold 46,000 spectators, of which 28,500 are box seats or stalls and 16,500 are popular only, and the dimensions of the playing field are 105 x 70 m. It is entirely surrounded by concrete grandstands, including an upper tray on the north, east, and south sides, plus outfitted boxes on the northwest and southwest elbows. The Argentina national football and rugby teams played some friendly and test matches at Estadio Brigadier López. It was also one of the venues of the 2011 Copa América. History At the beginning, Colón played their home matches at a field, until in March 1938 the land was expropriated due to an unpaid debt so the club was evicted from that place. Because of that, Colón played its home games at the Gimnasia y Esgrima de Ciudadela Stadium and Estadio 15 de Abril. In 1939, C.A. Colón acquired a land to build a new stadium. After some delays, the stadium was finally inaugurated on 9 July 1946, with a friendly match between Colón and Boca Juniors with an attendance of 10,000. On December 7, 1947, Eva Perón arrived in Santa Fe to inaugurate the Children's Hospital that bore her name. After that, he visited the Colón stadium and kicked off a classic from Santa Fe, of which the second half could not be completed because she took an hour to arrive due to the busy schedule and the stadium facilities still did not have lighting. On April 2, 1949, the lighting was finally inaugurated during the Colón 5–1 Huracán match, thanks to a subsidy of $150,000 provided by the National Government. On September 18,
