Nickname: El Lobo (The Wolf) Los Triperos (The gut-handlers)

Why Gimnasia La Plata

Here is the argument for Gimnasia La Plata: Argentina, Argentina Primera División, and a ground called Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.

Proper ground
Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo takes roughly 30,973, big enough for atmosphere, small enough that you can learn where the singing corner is on your first visit.
You get a nickname
Known as El Lobo (The Wolf) Los Triperos (The gut-handlers). That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Worth the journey
Nearest airport is Ezeiza International Airport - Ministro Pistarini (EZE), roughly 56km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.
The calendar you inherit
Following Argentina Primera División means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Argentina becomes part of your week.
