Tiro del Pichón (Spanish: Pigeon Hit), also known as Campo del Retiro (Retiro), or Campo de la Rana (Spanish: Frogs Field), was the first football pitch of Real Madrid between 1901 and 1902. They were not an official club at that time, playing friendly games on this field. Meetings were held there until 1903, the date the entity moved to the Campo de Jorge Juan.
The main team at this stadium was Atlético Madrid. They used this field between 1902 and 1913 before moving to Campo de O'Donnell from 1913 to 1923. Atlético Madrid's Campo de O'Donnell had the same name as Real Madrid's Campo de O'Donnell for 10 years because their locations were very close to each other, less than 200 meters on the main boulevard called Calle de O'Donnell.
Tiro del Pichón hosted three Spanish Cup finals: 1904, 1905, and 1910.
