Estádio Municipal João Lamego Netto, usually known as Lamegão or Ipatingão, is a multi-purpose stadium in Ipatinga, Brazil. It is currently used mostly for football matches. Ideal futebol Clube usually play their home matches at the stadium. Social Futebol Clube, from the neighbor city Coronel Fabriciano, has its own stadium, but sometimes plays its home matches at Ipatingão, because of its larger capacity and better structure. The stadium has a current maximum capacity of 10,000 people[1][2] and was built in 1982.
