[5] Throughout its history, São Luís Stadium has been an important venue for Sporting Clube Farense, witnessing numerous memorable moments for the club.

On June 24 of the same year, it hosted its first major event, the final of the 2nd season of the Portuguese football cup, in which Sporting CP defeated Académica de Coimbra 3-0.

According to news published on September 21, 1924, Sporting Clube Farense, in a General Assembly, decided to lease the field from the owner of the Santo Stadium, where the club's matches would be relocated.

[citation needed] On November 25, 1942, the stadium was acquired by Eusébio Tomás Lopes, and fifteen years later, on December 14, 1957, it was transferred to the municipal authority through a land exchange deed.

[citation needed] In 1960, new changing rooms were inaugurated, and on May 24 of the same year, the stadium's floodlights were used for the first time in a match between SC Farense and Ferroviário de Araraquara, where the Brazilian team won 0-5.

During its golden period in the 1990s, the São Luís Stadium gained a reputation among rival fans as the "Inferno" due to the intense atmosphere created by the stands near the field, particularly during matches against top teams.

[citation needed] In the subsequent years, the Farense club faced financial crises, resulting in a gradual decline through the Portuguese football divisions.

[8] Retail Park Portugal expressed interest with a proposal exceeding the 14 million euros, but their offer was excluded because they intended to occupy the area where the SCF Gym is, which was not part of the sale.

In 2013, the most attended game in the past decade took place, with an estimated audience of over ten thousand spectators, a victory against União de Leiria (2-1), securing the team's promotion to the Segunda Liga.
