The stadium, named after Argentinian tennis player Mary Terán de Weiss, has a capacity of 15,500 spectators. The first phase of construction cost 11.5 million Argentine pesos (approximately US$3.71 million). Former Buenos Aires mayor Jorge Telerman officially opened the stadium on September 19, 2006. The first official event to take place in the stadium was a semifinal of the 2006 Davis Cup, between Argentina and Australia, on September 22–24, with the Argentine team winning, 5-0.

The stadium has four main spectator areas: court-level boxes, lower and upper grandstand decks, and upper enclosed boxes. Below the grandstands are locker rooms, a large gymnasium, and offices. In 2014 works for a permanent facade and retractable roof were started. When finished, it will be the largest-capacity indoor arena in Buenos Aires with a seating capacity being expanded to 15,500. The stadium will be able to host many events besides tennis, including basketball, volleyball, and artistic and cultural fairs.[1]

It hosted the International Broadcast Centre during the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.

Ciudad del Básquet

The Buenos Aires government signed an agreement with the Argentine Basketball Federation that the Argentina national basketball team will play exclusively at the Mary Terán de Weiss stadium, once it is roofed in 2007. Also, during the first phase of construction in 2007, the Ciudad del Básquet will be built. The complex inside Parque Roca will serve as a training and practice center for the national teams, similar to the facility the national football team has in Ezeiza.

El Estadio Mary Terán de Weiss (también conocido con su antiguo nombre Estadio Parque Roca) es un estadio de tenis y multipropósito de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, construido en la zona sur de la ciudad. Aunque fue diseñado para la realización de diferentes tipos de actividades, fue centralmente pensado para la práctica del tenis, por lo que lleva el nombre de Mary Terán de Weiss, la primera tenista argentina de fama internacional. Como estadio de tenis es el más grande de Sudamérica. Asimismo, luego de su techado se convirtió en el estadio cerrado o arena con mayor capacidad de Argentina y el primero de América Latina en contar con techo corredizo.
