The stadium was constructed using a design-build model intended to comply with modern international football standards.
It replaced the historic Estádio Olímpico Monumental, which served as the club's home from 1954 to 2012.
The project included the development of a surrounding complex known as 'Bairro Arena,' designed for residential and commercial expansion.
The stadium's structural design allows for the acoustic reflection of crowd noise, intended to enhance the atmosphere during matches.
The venue features an integrated system for rainwater harvesting used for pitch irrigation and sanitation systems.
The Grêmio Museum located within the complex houses a comprehensive collection of trophies, historical kits, and memorabilia from the club's founding in 1903.
Arena do Grêmio is a multifunctional stadium located in Porto Alegre, serving as the home ground for the Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense football club. Inaugurated in December 2012, the stadium features an all-seater design with a seating capacity of approximately 55,000 spectators. The architecture employs a steel-truss roof system that covers all tiers of seating to provide protection from the elements. The pitch utilizes a hybrid grass surface designed for high-performance football matches. In addition to sport, the venue hosts major concerts and large-scale corporate events. The facility includes luxury suites, commercial spaces, and a museum dedicated to the club's history. It is positioned near the Anchieta Highway, connecting the stadium to the city's primary transport arteries.
The elevated walkway surrounding the stadium exterior provides a panoramic view of the entire structure and the surrounding Porto Alegre skyline.

Visit the Grêmio Museum on non-match days to explore the exhibits without the heavy crowds of game days.
Dress in layers as the open-air design can become significantly cooler once the sun sets or during rainy conditions.
Do not attempt to purchase game-day tickets from informal street scalpers; use official club channels only.
The stadium museum is generally closed on Mondays; the venue may be restricted to ticket holders only during major matches and events.
Neutral or home-team colors are recommended for safety; strictly refrain from wearing opposing team gear in the home-dedicated supporters sections.
