No Argentine can honestly say he is Argentine unless he has rooted for Boca Juniors at least once in his life. No visitor of Buenos Aires can honestly say she has fully experienced Argentine culture unless she has visited La Bombonera (the Boca Juniors stadium).
Maradona Played for Boca. Palermo plays for Boca. The Juniors represents the people, the working class, the laborer, the farmer, the rancher, the office worker, the honest person, the immigrant, the Porteño with established roots. In other words, Boca is Argentina. If you never been to a football (soccer) match, you must start with a visit to The Bombonera.
If you have been to a football match, you will find a unique experience inside the stadium. It is ample, but each seat provides a great view of the field. The distinguished blue and gold Boca
colors are everywhere, the walls, the seats, the railings, the walkways and ramps.
And there are no fans like Boca Juniors fans–they are sophisticated, loyal, and enthusiastic. You will feel the entire stadium undulate as they jump up and down in unison and sing the Boca rally. You will walk away from a game feeling charged and satisfied.
