30 Forgotten Stadiums Where the Crowd Never Came Back

25. The Drowned Stadium of Epecuén (Argentina)

Few abandoned stadiums have a fate as dramatic as the one in Villa Epecuén, Argentina. Once a bustling lakeside tourist town, Epecuén was famous for its football stadium, which hosted matches against Argentina’s top teams. However, in 1985, disaster struck when the nearby saltwater lake overflowed, submerging the entire town, including the stadium. For decades, it remained underwater, its bleachers and goalposts swallowed by the waves. As the waters receded in recent years, eerie remnants of the stadium have resurfaced, offering a haunting glimpse into the past.
