Estádio Municipal Adail Nunes da Silva, usually known by its nickname Taquarão, is a multi-use stadium in Taquaritinga, Brazil. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium has a capacity of 18,805 people.[1] It was built in 1983.
The Taquarão is owned by the Taquaritinga City Hall. The stadium is named after Adail Nunes da Silva, who was Taquaritinga city's mayor four times.
History[edit]
In 1982, Taquaritinga was promoted to the Campeonato Paulista first division, but the club's stadium was not eligible to be used in the competition. So, the club requested to the city hall a new stadium. After just three months, the stadium was built.
In 1983, the works on Taquarão were completed. The inaugural match was played on May 1 of that year, when Taquaritinga beat Cruzeiro 5-2. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Cruzeiro's Douglas Onça.
The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 25,000, set on June 10, 1983 when Taquaritinga beat Corinthians 2-0.
