Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Estadio Obras Sanitarias is an indoor arena that is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The arena, home venue of club Obras Sanitarias, is mainly used to host basketball games and concerts. It has a capacity of 3,100 people for basketball games, and 4,700 people for concerts.[1]
Since its inauguration in 1978 the arena has held mostly rock music concerts so it was nicknamed the temple of rock.[2]
History
Estadio Obras Sanitarias was opened in June 1978.[3] Over the years, the arena has been one of two home venues often used by the sports club Obras Sanitarias, with the other being the Polideportivo Municipal de San Rafael.
The arena has hosted the FIBA Intercontinental Cup tournament four times. It hosted the FIBA Intercontinental Cup's 1978 edition,[4] the 1983 edition,[3][5] in which the local club Obras Sanitarias won the title,[5] the 1986 edition, in which Žalgiris Kaunas won the title,[6] and also the 2021 edition.
During its history, the arena has also hosted numerous musical concerts, particularly rock concerts, which has led to the arena being given the nickname of "Templo del Rock" ("Temple of Rock"). The first band to perform there was "Banda Spinetta", leaded by Luis Alberto Spinetta, in September 1978. From 2006 to 2012, the arena had the name sponsorship of Estadio Pepsi Music (Pepsi Music Stadium), as part of a multinational marketing campaign of the Pepsi company, which sponsored rock festivals and concerts at the arena.
