Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi is a stadium in Verona, Italy. It is the home of both Chievo Verona of Serie A and Hellas Verona of Lega Pro.

Inaugurated as a state-of-the-art facility and as one of Italy's finest venues in 1963, the stadium appeared excessive for a team (Hellas) that had spent the best part of the previous 35 years in Serie B. For the 1990 FIFA World Cup renovations included a roof to cover all sections, improved visibility, public transport connections and services.

The emergence of Chievo on the Serie A stage in recent years has split the city into two smaller groups of archrival fans, both very loyal to their respective cause. Today, with Chievo constantly battling to survive relegation in Serie A, and Hellas Verona playing to a lower division, after having won a "scudetto" in 1985.
