Adrián Paenza, Argentine mathematician and radio and television host, who is also a River Plate fan, expressed his admiration for La Bombonera and compared Boca Juniors’ stadium to that of the Millonario: “It has something extra that is very difficult to define,” he commented.

This happened during a streaming broadcast on the Olga channel, held at the stadium of the Chicago Bulls, an NBA team. Adrián Paenza was a guest, and in conversation with Migue Granados and Lucas Fridman, he drew a parallel with stadiums considered to be “temples.” Referring to Madison Square Garden, he commented that “you can feel the mystique,” and immediately compared it to the Alberto J. Armando stadium, better known as La Bombonera.

“They tell you you’re going to see a Boca-River match and you want to go to Boca’s stadium. River’s stadium is very nice, but you want to go to Boca’s stadium, because Boca’s stadium has something extra that is very difficult to define,” he said, even though he emphasized that he is a Millonario fan.

He then added, “When Boca’s stadium is full and a Boca-River match is about to be played and you hear Boca’s fans shouting… It’s something different… Different from anything else,” he emphasized, adding: “The first time, I felt trembling, I felt like I was in a place where everyone was looking at me.”
