Estadio Ruca Che is an indoor arena and multi-purpose stadium in the city of Neuquén, capital of the homonymous province and largest city in the Argentine Patagonia. It was built in 1995 to host the Americas Basketball Championship.
The name of this sport venue is in the mapuche language: the word Ruka means house while Che means people. Therefore, this is the House of the People.
Two teams make use of the stadium regularly. Gigantes del Sur plays its home matches for the Serie A1, the top level of the Argentine men's volleyball league system, while Independiente de Neuquén plays some of their home matches for the Torneo Federal de Básquetbol, the third level of the Argentine basketball league system, after the Liga Nacional de Básquet and the Torneo Nacional de Ascenso.[1]
It also has an auxiliary gym, outdoor basketball courts and volleyball facilities, and parking lot for 150 vehicles.
