Estadio Panamericano (Havana's Pan–American Stadium) is a multi-use stadium located near Cojimar, a city ward of Havana, Cuba. It is used mostly for athletics.

History[edit]

It was first used as the main stadium for the 1991 Pan American Games. The stadium opened August 1, 1991 and is able to hold 34,000.^[2]

It served as the site of an episode of the American version of Top Gear in 2016. The episode showed the stadium in disrepair and mostly abandoned.

Renovations[edit]

The stadium was renovated in 2008 with an artificial turf replacing the original grass turf.

Structure[edit]

The stadium is surrounded by a park and faces nearby Boca de Cojimar (Havana Bay).

Seating is mainly open air with a partially covered grandstand to the east side.

Surrounding the football field is an oval track.
