Estadio Panamericano (Havana's Pan–American Stadium) is a multi-use stadium located near Cojimar, a city ward of Havana, Cuba. It is used mostly for athletics.
It was first used as the main stadium for the 1991 Pan American Games. The stadium opened August 1, 1991 and is able to hold 34,000.[2]
It served as the site of an episode of the American version of Top Gear in 2016. The episode showed the stadium in disrepair and mostly abandoned.
The stadium was renovated in 2008 with an artificial turf replacing the original grass turf.
The stadium is surrounded by a park and faces nearby Boca de Cojimar (Havana Bay).
Seating is mainly open air with a partially covered grandstand to the east side.
Surrounding the football field is an oval track.
