Brigadier General Estanislao López Stadium, popularly known as The Elephant Graveyard, 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 30,835 spectators, 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.
