Brazil
Estádio Palestra Itália
Estádio Palestra Itália, located in São Paulo, is the home of SE Palmeiras. It is also known as Estádio Parque Antártica after Companhia Antártica de Bebidas, a beverages company from which SE Palmeiras acquired the property in 1920. In the past its capacity was listed as 35 000 spectators. However, even though its grandstands have been extended in the late 1990s, currently it seats 29 000 people due to regulations enforcing improved safety and comfort. It is one of the most famous Brazilian stadiums, considering the amount of decisive and important matches played there.
