In a recent letter,Landim expressed his dismay over the alleged suspension of all actions related to the stadium project by the team set to take over in 2025.
Landim’s concerns stem from a proposed plan to sell 1,000 premium seats, aimed at recouping the club’s investment in the stadium. This initiative, which would have offered discounted rates to club members, was reportedly met with resistance from the incoming leadership, raising questions about their commitment to the project.
Adding fuel to the fire, landim revealed that the proposed budget for the stadium project, which should have been reviewed by the club’s Council of Administration, was bypassed, further fueling speculation about the new administration’s intentions.
Conflicting Visions for the Future

While Landim has consistently championed the stadium as a vital asset for the club’s future, Baptista has remained more ambiguous in his stance, leading to uncertainty among fans.
