Estádio das Antas

About

The Estádio das Antas (pronounced [ɨʃˈtaðju ðɐz ˈɐ̃tɐʃ], officially Estádio do Futebol Clube do Porto [ɨʃˈtaðju ðu futɨˈɔl ˈkluɨ ðu ˈpoɾtu]) was the third (and longest occupied) stadium of the Portuguese football side Porto. It was in use from 1952 to 2004, replacing the earlier Campo da Constituição, 1.6km (1 mile) to the west, and later replaced by the Estádio do Dragão, a block southeast away. As well as the stadium, it had an indoor arena and three training grounds. The club's offices were also split between the inside of the stadium and the Torre das Antas, built in front of the stadium during the 1990s. It was demolished in 2004, and the site is currently under development.
