[edit] Name change
I disagree with the name change this article has recently suffered. I'd rather keep it under Estadio Centenario or Centenario Stadium. Translating the name is just not right in this case (unless I'm just wrong and that famous building is called "Edificio Estado Imperial" after all). Jordevi 21:10, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] the Estadio Centenario as a home stadium
It is stated in the article (as of 2007/01/17) that the Estadio Centenario is the home stadium of Penarol football club, one of the two uruguayan "big teams", the other being club Nacional de football.
I have 4 comments about that:
1. Being a uruguayan football fan, i can state that this is a huge mistake. The Estadio Centenario is not the home stadium of any team. The stadium is owned by the municipality, and is used for almost every major football match that takes place in Uruguay.
2. The Estadio Centenario could only be said to be home stadium of the Uruguay national football team. All international matches featuring the national team are held in this stadium.
3. The referenced uruguayan football team is not named Penarol, but Peñarol.
4. After the demolition of the Estadio Pocitos, which was indeed its home stadium, Peñarol has never had a home stadium. Peñarol has got training facilities with football fields called Los Aromos, but no official matches are played there.
