History
In September 1948, the stadium construction commenced.
The inaugural match was played on June 12, 1960, with a draw between Figueirense and Atlético Catarinense. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Figueirense's Emídio Silva.
On August 15, 1973, was played the reinaugural match between Figueirense and Vitória. Shortly before that, the metallic bleachers, the lighting system, the dressing rooms and the field were completed.
In 2000, the Coloninha section (bleachers where the supporters have to stand up, usually known in Brazil as gerais, meaning generals, or commons) of the stadium was replaced by a more comfortable one. In the same year, the wire fence around the bleachers were built.
In 2002, the new lighting system, as well as the press cabins, were built.
In 2005, Orlando Scarpelli became an all-seater stadium.
