Tiro del Pichón ("Pigeon Hit" in English) or Campo del Retiro (Retiro) or Campo de la Rana ("Frogs Field") or Campo de Estrada ("The Field next to the Street") was the first stadium / field of Real Madrid between 1901 and 1902, before becoming a club, and before moving to Campo de Jorge Juan. They were not an official club in that time, playing friendly games on this field.
But the main team on this campo was Atletico Madrid, they used this field for playing between 1902 and 1913 before moving to Campo de O'Donnell (Atletico Madrid) from 1913 to 1923.[1] Atletico Madrid Campo had same name with Real Madrid Campo for 10 years because their location was very close to each other, less them 200 meters on the main bulevard called Calle de O'Donnell.
Tiro del Pichón hosted 3 Spanish Cup finals 1904, 1905, 1910.[2] [3]
