How to get to Estadio Diego Armando Maradona
Estadio Diego Armando Maradona is located toward the west of the city of Buenos Aires, about 9 kilometres from the city centre (Microcentro) and 5 kilometres south-west from nightlife area Palermo.
You can get to the stadium with bus (colectivo) 146. Take the bus from the Av. Diagonal in Microcentro or from Sarmiento street west of Avenida 9 de Julio. Get off at the Av. San Martín corner Miguel Angel. The journey takes about an hour.
An alternative is colectivo 109, which can be taken from Avenida Cordoba. Get off at Gavilan corner Alvarez Jonte. The journey takes over an hour, and it will likely be quicker to take the 109 from metro station Angel Gallardo (line B).
From the Recoleta and Palermo areas you can take colectivo 110. Take it from Av. Las Heras or Av. Scalabrini Cortiz. Get off at Margariños Cervantes corner Gavilan.
Address: Gavilán 2151, Ciudad de Buenos Aires

Attended Argentinos juniors vs Gimnasia on 31/08/19. Easy enough to cheaply buy a ticket at the ground even with my more than limited Spanish.
Sat in the stand opposite that of the Barra Brava. Even with the end behind the goal being closed (the other end has a big screen behind it and no stand) the atmosphere was pretty impressive for a relatively small attendance and a relatively low profile game.
The area around the ground seemed to be residential and, to my eyes, quite middle-class and quiet.
