The Estadio Pedro Bidegain (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpeðɾo βiðeˈɣain]), more often known as El Nuevo Gasómetro, is the home stadium of San Lorenzo football club in Buenos Aires.[3]

San Lorenzo's old ground, the historic Viejo Gasometro in nearby Boedo was expropriated by the military government in 1979.

The stadium is located in Bajo Flores but San Lorenzo fans wish to return to their original home (Viejo Gasómetro), and won a court action saying that Carrefour should sell back the land that their supermarket is now built on.[4]
