Arena da Baixada, Football stadium in Agua Verde district, Curitiba, Brazil.
Arena da Baixada is a football stadium in the Água Verde neighborhood of Curitiba, offering seating for more than 42,000 spectators. The facility features a closing roof and modern amenities that meet international standards for large events.
The site has served football since the 1910s and received a full renewal in the late 1990s and again for the World Cup. These upgrades transformed the earlier simple pitch into a contemporary sports venue with expanded capacity.
The venue takes its name from the low-lying terrain where it was built, reflecting the geography of this part of the city. Supporters of the home club fill the stands with songs and red-and-black banners that mark the rhythm of match days.
Access occurs through several gates around the stadium, with public transport easing the journey from central Curitiba. Food and drink stands inside the venue are spread across different sectors and serve refreshments during events.
This stadium was the first in the country to exchange its name for a commercial partnership, opening a new path for sports financing. That decision in 2005 created a model that other Brazilian clubs later adopted.
