The Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium (Spanish: Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, pronounced [esˈtaðjo ˈxoɾxe lwis ˈiɾʃi]; named after Jorge Hirschi) is an association football stadium in La Plata, Argentina. Located in the Paseo del Bosque park, it is the home Estudiantes (LP).
Because of its technological innovations and environmental sustainability, the stadium is regarded as one of the most modern venues in Argentina. The stadium is also one of the oldest in Argentina so it was established at Paseo del Bosque park in 1906.
It was formally inaugurated on 25 December 1907. The arena was the venue where Estudiantes obtained the 1913 amateur league title, and where fans enjoyed los profesores ("the professors"), the famous 1930s offensive line of Lauri-Scopelli-Zozaya-Ferreyra-Guayta.
In its initial incarnation (1907 to 2005) the stadium held up to 28,000 people, mostly standing-room, even though security measures would reduce its actual capacity to about 22,000. Its relatively meager size made Estudiantes use Boca Juniors' La Bombonera stadium for its Copa Libertadores games.
