The opening of the MRV Arena, which begins at 8 am this Saturday (15/4), has a very unifying name: “Nascimento do Campo.” The event at the Atlético Stadium will feature concerts, tributes, marking of match lines, installation of goal posts and first shots on goal. See below, the full schedule and where to watch the “debut” of the new House Rooster.

MRV Arena opening schedule

The first inaugural times are set at 13 minutes on each hour, indicated by the number which is the club’s symbol. The field and playground will open at 8:13am and 9:13am respectively, while the event will start at 10:13am.

The authorities will be the first to speak through speeches. After that, the lines of the field and the beams will be marked, followed by goal kicks, which will be awarded by the black and white idols Ubaldo and Vava.

In addition to the attractions, visitors will be able to interact with sponsors. Brahma will own dedicated booths, ArcelorMittal will distribute gifts, and Inter will promote activities and dynamics with gifts.

How to buy tickets

Tickets were available until Friday night (4/14), when Arena MRV announced, through their social networks, that tickets were sold out. Therefore, 9 thousand people are expected to be present in the stadium, which is the maximum capacity for the event.

When selling tickets, Arena MRV and GNV members had special preference and discounts after registering or logging into the platform.

Arena MRV, GNV Forte and Vingador members and Atlético advisors bought them at a 70% discount. Black, Silver, and White GNV members received discounts of 65%, 60%, and 50%, respectively. For the general public, tickets cost R$599, and up to three tickets per CPF were sold.

Those who bought Gallo’s home opening ticket were courtesy of the upper red sector to accompany Atlético’s debut in the Brazilian championship. Gallo will also face Vasco on Saturday, at 21pm, in Mineirão.
