Estádio Evandro Almeida, usually known as Baenão is a stadium in Belém, Brazil. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium has a capacity of 17,250 people.
Baenão is owned by Clube do Remo. The stadium is named after Evandro Almeida, who was a Remo's football player and employee. The nickname Baenão is a reference to the place where the stadium is located, called Travessa Antônio Baena.
On August 15, 1917, which marked the anniversary of a six-year reorganization, Remo opened its football stadium. According to the newspaper A Folha do Norte, August 13, 1917, the field was 110 meters long and 70 meters wide. The stadium consisted of 2,500 people distributed through a grandstand, divided into its extension lines by a superior pavilion that was destined for the families of the partners and the lower part to the partners.
After an extensive schedule that began with a salvo of 21 shots in the morning, was played the inaugural match of the sports plaza between the teams of the Naval Reserve and the selection of Liga Paraense Foot-Ball. The newspapers did not divulge the score of the match, informing only the qualifiers and the referee, Hugo Leão.
The first game of Remo in the Baenão was on September 2, 1917, when he beat Panther by 3-1. Dudu, Chermont and Djalma scored Remo's goals that day.
The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 33,487, set on September 7, 1976 when Remo defeated Paysandu 5-2.
In 1935, Remo restructured his stadium with larger bleachers. To commemorate the reopening of the stadium, Remus invited Paysandu to a friendly game on 26 May 1935, winning by a score of 5–4.
On the day he completed his 29 years of reorganization, Remo inaugurated the spotlights for his football stadium. The transformer received from the Pará Elétrica the current in high voltage (2,000 volts), transforming it to 220 volts, which was the voltage received by the grid. The high-voltage input was fitted with a Pellet lightning arrester and the lighting net commanded by a Trumbel three-way wrench, with 250-amp fuses.
