How much did Barradão cost to build?
Barradão, officially Estádio Manoel Barradas, is Esporte Clube Vitória's football ground in Salvador, Bahia. It opened on 11 November 1986 with a Vitória–Santos match and was rebuilt for regular use before reopening on 25 August 1991. A club history published in 2006 reports separate nominal costs for those two phases: 46.14 million Brazilian cruzados for the original stadium and 100 million cruzeiros for the 1991 works. These are not amounts in today's reais. Its operating capacity was reported as 30,793 spectators in 2026; a later Arena Barradão redevelopment is a separate proposed investment.
