History
After playing their home games in other stadiums, the Nuevo Gasómetro was inaugurated in a friendly match v Chilean club Universidad Católica.[5] The first official match held in the stadium was San Lorenzo 1 v Belgrano (C) 0.
The stadium was named after Pedro Bidegain, president of the club between 1929 and 1930. The stadium has the bigger field of Argentina, measuring 110 x 70 meters.[6][7]
Since its inauguration, the stadium has been refurbished several times, starting in 1997 with the construction of new grandstands on its sides. In 2014, the lighting was completely renovated.
