São Paulo v Mirassol in Campinas: Morumbi out, Tricolor's 3rd home | OneFootball

For the second time this year, São Paulo will be without Morumbi Stadium for its football team. The match against Mirassol, on April 25 in the Brasileirão, has been moved to Brinco de Ouro da Princesa Stadium, in Campinas.

The change is due to more shows that the Tricolor stadium will host on April 30 and May 1 by Canadian star The Weeknd. Morumbi has to be made available a few days earlier for the concert structure to be set up.

CBF officially confirmed on its website the venue change for São Paulo vs. Mirassol from Morumbi to Brinco de Ouro, Guarani’s stadium, which was chosen to host the Tricolor’s match.

Earlier, in March, São Paulo had already been left without its home due to AC/DC’s three performances at its stadium, and used Canindé as the venue for the match against Chapecoense in the Brasileirão.

The Lusitanian stadium, in fact, was considered São Paulo’s home for these situations, as stated by director Rui Costa himself, but this time the conditions at Canindé did not please São Paulo, which preferred to move to Campinas.

Some problems at Canindé, such as the condition of the pitch, led São Paulo to change its decision when choosing its home venue against Mirassol, in the match for the 13th round of the Brasileirão.

BUSY SCHEDULE

And Tricolor will be without Morumbi on a few other occasions this season. Right after the World Cup, it will be occupied by British singer Harry Styles, who will perform on July 17, 18, 21 and 24. Then in October, South Korean group BTS will play shows on the 28th, 30th and 31st at the Tricolor stadium.

The club maintains that the shows are extremely profitable. According to marketing director Eduardo Toni, São Paulo made nearly R$ 15 million net from AC/DC’s three performances at Morumbi, which drew a total crowd of more than 210,000 people.
