Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha

Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha, Football stadium in northern Guayaquil, Ecuador

Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha is a football stadium in the Bellavista sector of northern Guayaquil, home to Barcelona SC. Its field measures 105 by 70 metres, and the stands include a yellow upper section bearing the numerals "1925" and a red-and-white crest between yellow and red stripes. A long roof edge with a continuous strip of lights tops the far stand, beside a sign reading "BANCO PICHINCHA".

Barcelona SC president Isidro Romero Carbo pushed for a club-owned ground, and the first stone was laid on 11 October 1985 beside the Bellavista district. Architects Ricardo Mórtola and José Vicente Viteri designed it; the first phase opened on 27 December 1987 with a friendly against Peñarol, lost 1-3, at a cost of 27 million US dollars. A 1992-1993 expansion raised capacity to 57,267.

The stadium's sponsored name comes from Banco Pichincha, which signed a four-year naming contract on January 2, 2008; the club's own name, Barcelona SC, is echoed in the stands. The ground is home to Barcelona SC, and its main pitch is named after Alberto Spencer Herrera, while the alternate field honours Sigifredo Agapito Chuchuca. Sections carry the names of club figures such as Luciano Macías Argencio and Vicente Lecaro Coronel.

The stadium sits on Av. Barcelona beside the Bellavista district in northern Guayaquil, at only 10 metres above sea level. A cable car linking it to the Aerovía Julián Coronel station downtown was scheduled to begin in 2021. Inside, about 5,100 m² holds healthcare facilities, souvenir shops and restaurants.

A section inside displays a golden memorial plaque where a famous Brazilian footballer compared the stadium to another South American venue. This plaque often draws the attention of visitors who want to learn about the international recognition of the arena.
