Estádio Alfredo de Castilho, known as Alfredo de Castilho or Alfredão, is a multi-use stadium in Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil. It is used mostly for football matches, and has a maximum capacity of 18,866 people.
History
[edit]A stadium named after Alfredo de Castilho was built in 1935, honouring an engineer who was the director of NOB (Noroeste de Obras do Brasil) at the time.[2] It was used until 23 November 1958, when a fire destroyed a part of the stands during a match against São Paulo.[4]
After the fire, Noroeste played at Estádio Antônio Garcia, owned by Bauru Atlético Clube, until the inauguration of Estádio Ubaldo Medeiros on 5 June 1960, in a match against Palmeiras.[5] The new stadium was later renamed to the original name of Alfredo de Castilho just months later,[2] and purchased by Noroeste in 1986.[2]
