Estádio Olímpico (1954-1980)

Grêmio's home from 1954 to 2013. It opened on 19 September 1954 with a 2-0 win over Nacional of Montevideo and was completed in 1980, when the upper tier was closed; since then it has been called the Olímpico Monumental. It set the attendance record of 98,421 against Ponte Preta in 1981, and it was there that Grêmio won the 1983 Libertadores final. It was the stage of the famous avalanche in the Geral. It has been out of use since 2013 and its demolition is still pending; in 2024 it temporarily reopened as a donation centre during the floods.
