Estadio Manuel Ruiz de Lopera is a football (soccer) stadium in Seville, Spain. The stadium is the home ground of Real Betis. It was previously called Estadio Benito Villamarín before the current owner of the club, Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, decided to build a new stadium over the old one in 2000. Many conservative supporters still address Betis' stadium as Benito Villamarin.
For unknown reasons Lopera decided to discontinue the construction of the new stadium leaving an old section untouched. However, during a press conference on September 8, 2006, Lopera stated that he intends to knock down the south section of the stadium, thus enhancing the capacity to "65,000 or 70,000".
