Andrés Valenti: «Unión’s stadium is ready for world-class events»

In an interview given to the ADN program on Radio Gol 96.7, the general secretary of Club Atlético Unión, Andrés Valenti, shared details about Tan Biónica’s “Último Encuentro Tour” arriving in the city of Santa Fe this Saturday. With a stage production compared to top-tier international artists, the club is preparing to welcome more than 20,000 people.

An international-level setup

Valenti highlighted that the structure set up on Pujato Street and inside the playing field is “impressive.” According to him, the organizers compare the production to tours by figures such as Ricky Martin.

“We’re hosting events at the stadium again after a long time. With the recent renovations, the 15 de Abril is very well prepared to welcome this kind of giant show,” the executive said, stressing that Unión being chosen over other venues places the club at the forefront of cultural events in the country.

The priority: Taking care of the pitch

In response to members’ concerns about the condition of the field for upcoming football matches, Valenti reassured them:

Cutting-edge technology: A special plastic flooring system will be used (similar to volleyball court flooring, but ventilated), allowing the grass to breathe while cushioning the weight.
Strategic placement: A large part of the stage rests on the stands and not exclusively on the grass, reducing the impact on the field.
Capacity: Although he did not confirm the exact figure, he estimated attendance will exceed 20,000 people and could reach 25,000, with sections such as the “La Bomba” stand, seating areas, and the field enabled.

Economic and infrastructure benefits

The general secretary explained that these types of events are vital to the club’s finances. “Maintaining the stadium costs a fortune; every time you open it, it’s 40 million. We have to find ways to generate resources that allow the club to grow,” he said. In addition to the rental fee, Unión will receive a bonus tied to ticket sales success.

As for infrastructure, work was carried out such as removing perimeter fencing in certain sections and creating new ramps and emergency exits, improvements that will also help meet CONMEBOL requirements for future international competitions.

Tickets and what’s next

Valenti confirmed that the last remaining tickets are still available and can be purchased in person at Tienda Unión or through the usual online sales channels.

Finally, he said the club’s event schedule remains full, with confirmed dates at the Ángel Malvicino Stadium for artists such as Andrés Calamaro and Q Locura in the coming weeks.
