Estadio Municipal Patricio Mekis, Municipal stadium in Rancagua, Chile.
The Estadio Municipal Patricio Mekis is a sports stadium in Rancagua with a natural grass field and seating for around 2000 spectators. The facility sits directly next to the Medialuna Monumental, another major sports venue in the city.
The stadium underwent major renovation work in 2014 to prepare for Copa América 2015 training sessions. These improvements significantly upgraded the facilities to meet international standards.
The stadium hosts the Campeonato de Clubes de Barrio, a tournament where teams from different neighborhoods in Rancagua compete against each other. These local matches are central to the city's sports identity and bring residents together around their neighborhood teams.
The location is easily accessible with good parking available for visitors attending sporting events. Its proximity to the Medialuna Monumental makes it convenient to visit multiple venues in one trip.
The stadium sits beside the Medialuna Monumental de Rancagua, the city's rodeo arena, so Chilean football and traditional huaso rodeo take place side by side. Neighbourhood clubs from every sector of Rancagua meet here in the Campeonato de Clubes de Barrio.
