Central debut in revamped Gigante: new entrance and security updates | OneFootball

The "canalla" team will host Belgrano next Saturday at 10 PM in Arroyito in the first match of the Almirón cycle. Updates at the stadium include the river stand area under construction for the start of the season and a new arrangement of food stalls around the area, determined by the province and the municipality.

This Saturday, Rosario Central will host Belgrano at the Gigante de Arroyito and with this match marking the return of Argentine football, the provincial and municipal governments will introduce a new arrangement of street food stalls to improve coexistence with the neighborhood residents. Fans will also find a stadium under construction in the river stand area, where the third tier with boxes and seats will be built. Therefore, a new entrance gate will be opened.

There will be a new access in the sector facing the Paraná River. It is the gate 5 bis, located next to the official club store at the corner of Génova and Avellaneda. The traditional gate 5 remains, but another entrance is added because gate 6 will be used only for box and press entry.

The rest of the stadium entrances will not change at the start of the season, meaning that members and fans going to the popular stands will use the same gates, as will those in the Cordiviola stand.

Additionally, on Saturday, the new LED lights of the Gigante will be used for the first time in an official match, following the replacement of the old lights that the club put up for sale to fans last week.

Reorganization of Food Stalls

The coordinator of the Directorate of Security in Mass Events of the Government of Santa Fe, Gustavo Velázquez; and the Secretary of Control and Coexistence of the Municipality of Rosario, Diego Herrera announced the changes this Wednesday morning ahead of the match on Saturday at 10 PM.

Velázquez explained that the changes are due to the requests of the residents, uncomfortable with the concentration of fans and makeshift grills on the sidewalks. They will add a third security ring, delimited by the streets Ferreyra, Juan José Paso, Avellaneda, and the avenue of the Workers. In total, 20 food stalls will be allowed on Avellaneda, which cannot sell alcohol four hours before the match and two hours after.

“All are registered and given a QR code to the authorized stall. They even have a location; if the inspector sees one not authorized, it is removed immediately,” said Herrera.

“We are not against the public gathering, nor eating before, during, or after the match, but we seek to achieve good coexistence between the residents of Arroyito and the fans. Central has been playing with 40,000 people,” observed Velázquez.

“We have records and complaints from residents, in addition to reports, about grills located next to the curbs, people arriving with coolers, loud music, and gatherings that extend until late at night,” he detailed.
