Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella - Patronato

Estadio Presbítero Bartolomé Grella is a football stadium located in the city of Paraná in Entre Ríos Province, Argentina. Originally named "Estadio Villa Sarmiento", it is owned and operated by Club Atlético Patronato, having been opened in 1956. The stadium has capacity for 14,000 spectators.

The stadium was named after Presbyter Bartolomé Grella (Turin, Italy, 1879 – Paraná, 1960), founder of C.A. Patronato. Grella had arrived in Paraná in 1914 to teach at the local seminary. That same year he bought a vacant land where his students could play football. Like French patronages –Christian centres with cultural and sports activities– he named the entity "Patronato de la Juventud Católica" (Patronage of the Catholic Youth). In 1931 he bought a land where the "Santa Teresita" chapel and two football pitches would be built. Apart from religion, his main interest was to promote sports in children.
