Estádio Evandro Almeida, usually known as Baenão is a multi-use stadium in Belém, Brazil. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium has a capacity of 17,518 people.[1]
Baenão is owned by Clube do Remo. The stadium is named after Evandro Almeida, who was a Remo's football player and employee. The nickname Baenão is a reference to the place where the stadium is located, called Travessa Antônio Baena.
History
In 1917, the works on Baenão were completed. The inaugural match was played on August 15 of that year, when Liga Paraense de Futebol (which was an all-stars team of Pará state) beat Reserva Naval 2-0. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Liga Paraense de Futebol's Aranha, who was a Brasil Esporte Clube player.
The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 33,487, set on September 7, 1976 when Remo defeated Paysandu5-2.
