context_page_description: The Estadio Tomás A. Ducó is a stadium in Argentina, located in the Parque Patricios neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The stadium is the home ground of CA Huracán and has a capacity of 48,314.
context_section_description: The first ground of Huracán was land on Arenas street that belonged to the Municipality of Buenos Aires. In August 1924, the club moved to a new venue on the corner of Amancio Alcorta and Luna in Parque Patricios. The venue was named after Argentine aviator Jorge Newbery, from whose balloon the club had taken inspiration for its badge.
  In April 1939 the club acquired the land –at a cost of $700,000– to remodelate the stadium. The National Government granted C.A. Huracán a loan to build its new home venue.
