Estádio Parque Esportivo Montanha dos Vinhedos, Sports stadium in Bento Gonçalves, Brazil.
The Estádio Parque Esportivo Montanha dos Vinhedos is a sports facility in Bento Gonçalves equipped with modern lighting for evening matches. The complex features four towers at each corner and 16 high-powered reflectors positioned in the central grandstand section.
The project was approved in 1979, when the club bought a 10-hectare site in the São João neighbourhood; engineer Olivar Basso and architect Maria Inês Stefani designed it, and groundworks began in 1983. Work stalled for years until president José Décio Dupont made completion the club's priority, and the stadium opened on 29 February 2004 with Esportivo beating Pelotas 2-0. In April 2026 it was officially renamed Estádio Darcy Pozza.
The stadium's name was chosen in January 2004 by a public vote, beating "Montanha dos Vinhedos" and "Centro Clube Esportivo". Its inauguration match on 29 February 2004, Esportivo 2-0 Pelotas in the Gauchão, was refereed by Carlos Eugênio Simon, with goals by Ernestina and Fabinho.
The facility provides a large parking area with security monitoring, especially on match days with dedicated fencing. Visitors should arrive early depending on the event to secure good seating and convenient parking.
