Good to know, and after some research on the internet it seems as it really is a quite dangerous area.

Avellaneda seems to be quite dangerous as well, right?

The stadium of San Lorenzo, on the other hand, is located right next to one of the roughest villas of Buenos Aires. It’s populated in large part by very poor immigrants from Bolivia, Peru and Paraguay and is notorious for drug related violence.

If you really want to go to watch Los Cuervos, then I would play it pretty carefully and also avoid going to any evening matches.

I’ve never found Boca to be dangerous on game day, though I don’t go wandering any back streets at night ! I have heard the same as some others, that the San Lorenzo stadium area is very sketchy, but I don’t have any personal experience there.

But i have been advised that san lorenzo is even more dangerous than the neighbourhood of boca!!! there really are some unsavoury characters around there, even the police don’t go there. This is what the locals told me when i was stayin in palermo as i wanted to go and see lorenzo’s stadium but they advised against it. maybe i will take ross kemp and danny dyer with me next time!!!!!!!

Your best bet is a place called “Champs”. 3956 Blvd. St. Laurent. 514 987 6444. They are futbol crazy at that place with every satellite hook up imaginable. I watched the Argentina-Brazil qualifier there. Luck.

I was thinking of going to see San Lorenzo on saturday.
Anyone here knows how to get there (I live in San Telmo) and if it´s hard to fin the ticket office?

Cheers

If it’s any consolation, there wouldn’t have been time!

Nolan, I can’t help you with that one specifically (some of my readers might be able to), but from my experience following Argentine football from afar, the super is always a lot easier to find coverage of outside Argentina than any of the other domestic fixtures. For watching the weekly matches, there are websites that can help you (not that I as a person or HEGS as an entity would ever endorse that sort of behaviour, you understand)…

I know a couple of places to watch La Liga, but I’m not sure if they show South American leagues.
