History

The stadium was completed in 1930, with the first football match scheduled for sometime that season.

The stadium is UEFA approved, able to compete in either UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, and is home of the Azorean regional football team. The Portuguese national team has also used the Stadium to play friendly matches (the last being a 2–0 win over Egypt, to a sold-out crowd).

Renovations to the stadium occurred in the 2008–2009 season, with improved lighting, remodelled seating, new turf and improvements to the rest areas.[1] Renovations and expenditures were also slated for the 2013–2014, that included: improvements and interventions in the lighting towers and requalification of the exterior spaces of the stadium, respectively.[2]

Architecture

The 105 by 70 metres (344 ft × 230 ft) stadium holds approximately 13,200 spectators.

gollark: I've been eyeing it as a possible part for a hypothetical new osmarks.tk server, to replace my old (Nehalem or something) HP tower.
gollark: Or a 1700 for the same price, but it would be worse for gaming.
gollark: Also, they just announced that Ryzen 3000 is to be released on July 7th. Not next month. It's, what, 6 weeks?
gollark: The 1700 is only about £130 now.
