Estádio Bruno José Daniel

The Estádio Bruno José Daniel, seldom called Brunão or Estádio Municipal Bruno José Daniel, is a football stadium inaugurated on December 14, 1969 in Santo André, São Paulo state, with a maximum capacity of 18,000 people. The stadium is owned by the City Hall of Santo André, and is the home ground of Santo André. Its formal name honors Bruno José Daniel, who was the mayor of the city of Santo André at the time of the stadium construction.

History

The inaugural match was played on December 14, 1969, when Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras beat Santo André 4-0. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Palmeiras' Halner.

The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 19,000, set on June 3, 1979 when Santo André beat Corinthians 2-1.

In 1985, the stadium hosted a Menudos band show. This event damaged the field. The Municipal Prefecture of Santo André only fixed the field a year later, due to lack of funds.

In 2005, Estádio Bruno José Daniel was used for the first time in a Copa Libertadores de América match. On March 10 of that year, Santo André and Cerro Porteño of Paraguay drew 2-2.
