Stadio Fratelli Ballarin, Historic football stadium in San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy.
The stadium features traditional English-style grandstands positioned close to the playing field, with a maximum capacity of 13,000 spectators located near the port area.
Inaugurated as Campo del Littorio in November 1931, the stadium hosted Sambenedettese's home matches until 1985, including 17 Serie B and 28 Serie C championships.
The stadium earned the nickname 'Lions' Den' due to the intense support from local fans during matches between Sambenedettese and their regional rivals.
The facility hosted football matches until 1985 before being replaced by the Stadio Riviera delle Palme, with demolition work beginning in February 2024.
A tragic fire in June 1981, caused by cardboard choreography in the south curve, led to significant changes in stadium safety protocols.
