São Paulo was the first owner of Estádio do Canindé
São Paulo was the first owner of Estádio do Canindé. The place belonged to a club from the German colony and was bought by Tricolor in 1944. In 1956 the club sold the land to Portuguesa, which built a stadium there. During the administration of São Paulo, a goat named Augusto lived there in the Canindé CT. In 1949, São Paulo, thinking of making the TC more presentable, planted eucalyptus trees on the site. Augusto ate all the seedlings and started a political war that divided the club into two groups: “Tira o bode” and “O leave the goat”. Augustus stayed.
