Estadio Olímpico Juan Pablo Duarte

Estadio Olimpico Juan Pablo Duarte is a stadium in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, built in 1974 for the XII Central American & Caribbean Games. It is used mostly for football matches and also has an athletics track. The stadium has a capacity of 27,000 people, though it has seen crowds of 35,000. It hosted the football tournament at the 2003 Pan American Games.Although it is known as "Juan Pablo Duarte", this is actually the name of the sports complex which the stadium is located in. The actual (and near-unknown) name was "Estadio Olímpico Jaime Capejón Díaz", honoring an early 20th century track and field athlete, until it was renamed to "Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez" after he won the gold medal in the 400m hurdles race at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
