The Alsina and Colón Stadium, oficially named Racing Club Stadium, was an association football stadium in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It was the home of Racing Club de Avellaneda, one of Argentina's top football clubs, before they moved to El Cilindro in 1950.
It was located in the intersection of Alsina and Colón streets, hence been sometimes referred as 'Estadio de Alsina y Colón'. The stadium held 50,000 spectators. It was one of two stadiums that hosted the first Copa América in 1916, along with Gimnasia y Esgrima.
The stadium was closed in December 1946 to build El Cilindro, which was inaugurated in 1950.
