context_section_description: The iconic arch over the main stand of Athletic's San Mamés Stadium (which originally supported its roof) was preserved in the ground's demolition in 2013 and moved in several pieces to Lezama, where it was installed at the side of the Field 2 used by the reserves and women's team, with a small area of spectator seating added below.
  The complex also features busts of iconic Athletic players Zarra and Piru Gainza.
