In 1893 a group of members came up with new ideas, proposing to encourage the practice of other sports, mainly basque pelota.

For that purpose the club asked the Government of Mendoza a land in Parque General San Martín, which gave 5 hectares.

One year later, Gimnasia y Esgrima crowned champion again, being the first club of Mendoza to win two consecutive championships.

The squad won a playoff game against Independiente Rivadavia after both teams finished in the first place at the end of the season.

One year later, the Lobo inaugurated the first stadium in Mendoza Province, playing a friendly match against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Santa Fe.
