Estadio Marcelo Tinoco
The name is the biography here: Estadio Marcelo Tinoco is not a place-name or a district but a goalkeeper, and the ground built for Danlí a dozen years later has carried nothing else since.
What keeps Estadio Marcelo Tinoco in wider circulation is borrowed use. Honduran giants Motagua and Olimpia have both turned up here as a change of scenery from the capital, and Lobos UPNFM have used it too. Mexico's Necaxa also appears on the list of visitors, though the circumstances behind it are not recorded. The old local side, Real de Minas, played its home matches here.
The pitch is natural grass, 105 by 67 metres, and the ground sits off the CA-6 highway running through Danlí — near enough to the road that it serves as the usual reference point, since no street address for the stadium appears to have ever been published. It opened in 1980, though a handful of accounts push that date toward the late eighties; nothing found here settles which is right.
