Detail InformationEdit

The Estadio Monumental is a football stadium in Macul, south-east of the centre of the Chilean capital Santiago. It serves as the home ground of CSD Colo-Colo, and on occasions also for other clubs and the national football team. The stadium has a current spectator capacity of 47,000. The actual playing field is named after David Arellano, the legendary founder of Colo-Colo, therefore, on occasions the whole stadium is referred to as Estadio Monumental David Arellano.
The stadium was first opened in 1975 with a double act in front of a crowd of 25,599. In the first match Santiago Morning and Santiago Wanderers drew 1-1 and in the main event Colo-Colo defeated Deportes Aviación 1-0, Carlos Orellana being the scorer. However, the stadium proved unsuitable for ongoing use, and therefore only five more matches took place there for the time being.
Completed in its current form in 1989, it was reopened in September of that year with a match between Colo-Colo and CA Peñarol from Uruguay, which the hosts won 2-1, thanks to goals by Marcelo Barticciotto and Leonel Herrera. The official capacity of the stadium then was between 62,500 and 65,000 spectators. The highest ever recorded attendance when 69,305 spectators saw a championship match between Colo-Colo and Club Universidad de Chile in 1992. The stadium was in 1991 home to the second Copa Libertadores final, won by Colo-Colo 3-0, making it the sole Chilean club to win the trophy.
Accidents, including a fatality in 1993, instigated various modernisations which led to a reduction of the capacity to the current 47,000 spectators.
