FC Porto (1952–2004)

TheEstádio das Antas (pronounced[ɨʃˈtaðjuðɐzˈɐ̃tɐʃ]; officiallyEstádio do Futebol Clube do Porto[ɨʃˈtaðjuðufutɨˈβɔlˈkluβɨðuˈpoɾtu]) was the third (and longest occupied) stadium of thePortuguesefootball sideFC Porto. It was in use from 1952 to 2004, replacing the earlierCampo da Constituição, 1.6km (1 mile) to the west, and later replaced by theEstádio 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 theTorre das Antas, built in front of the stadium during the 1990s. It was demolished in 2004, although one floodlight still remains, and the majority of the site is^[when?] not yet redeveloped.

The stadium was split into six different areas. ThePoente andMaratona contained the best seats, while the most financially accessible were located in theSuperior Norte,Superior Sul andArquibancada. Between theNorte andPoente were seats for the away supporters. Each stand was split into different sectors. While thePoente had four, bothMaratona andArquibancada had five, and bothSuperiores (upper tiers) had nine, but two inNorte were reserved for away supporters. For matches, low turnout from away fans, in contrast to that expected from Porto supporters, so the away fan sector was often reduced in size by half. In the past there were other divisions, such as splitting theSuperior stands between the original and the newterraces built after the 1986 capacity increase.

Thenational team first played in the stadium in 1952 and held its last game there in 2003.
