Estádio Passo D'Areia, Football stadium in Santa Maria Goretti, Porto Alegre, Brazil

Estádio Passo D'Areia, officially Estádio Francisco Novelletto Neto, is the ground of Esporte Clube São José in the Santa Maria Goretti neighbourhood of Porto Alegre. Its synthetic pitch measures 68 by 105 metres, the size required by FIFA. The ground has six boxes, four professional changing rooms plus one for referees, and eight fixed double press cabins.

São José bought the 3.5-hectare site in Porto Alegre's Santa Maria Goretti neighbourhood in 1939, and the ground opened on 24 March 1940 with Grêmio as guest of honour. The stand behind the goal on the social-club side was the largest later addition, and the general stand was rebuilt and reopened by mayor José Fogaça on 26 March 2006. In 2020 the stadium was renamed after Francisco Novelletto Neto, former president of São José and of the Federação Gaúcha de Futebol.

The club is nicknamed Zequinha, and its ground sits beside the social headquarters in the Santa Maria Goretti neighbourhood, on land bought in 1939 for "250 contos de réis". The 1940 inauguration was a party attended by Grêmio, then three-time city champion. The stands behind the goal on the social-club side are known as the "tobogã".

The ground sits in the Santa Maria Goretti neighbourhood of northern Porto Alegre, beside the club's social headquarters, with entrances on Rua Padre Hildebrando (social side) and Avenida Rio São Gonçalo (general stands). On-site parking is reserved for staff and officials and holds about 50 vehicles, so arrive on foot or by public transport on match days.

Beyond football matches, the stadium has hosted concerts featuring world-known performers like Elton John, Pearl Jam, and Ozzy Osbourne. This shows how a sports venue can transform into a space for different kinds of live entertainment.
