The club aims to transform the stadium into a venue for concerts and events, with the installation of artificial turf to reduce maintenance costs and alleviate high demand. Additionally, the project involves renovating the stands, dressing rooms, and VIP areas, increasing the stadium's capacity from 6,000 to 13,000 seats for matches. Jorge Machado, São Caetano's owner, explains that leasing the stadium is crucial for the club's survival, which has a debt of R$ 72 million and is working to obtain judicial recovery. Machado negotiated the debt, preventing bankruptcy and securing judicial recovery, which gave the club a four-year breathing space. However, he now needs partners to help the club. The first step would be to install artificial turf, which would help reduce maintenance costs and alleviate high demand. With the renovations, the stadium's capacity is expected to increase from 6,000 to 13,000 seats for matches.
