## Estadio Sacaba (Sacaba, Bolivia): what it is, what it’s called, and why it matters

Estadio Sacaba is a football stadium in Sacaba, Bolivia, and the venue widely documented for Sacaba is Estadio Capitán José Angulo, also referred to as Estadio Municipal de Sacaba.
Your dataset places “Estadio Sacaba” at HXV5+7XX, Bolívar, Sacaba, Bolivia, with coordinates -17.4067484, -66.0400426 and a rating value of 3.5 (treated here as user-provided, not independently verified).

### Names you’ll see (and why)
According to Spanish Wikipedia’s venue entry, the stadium’s full name is Estadio Capitán José Angulo, and it is “also known as” Estadio Municipal de Sacaba.
That “dual naming” matters when you’re searching for match listings, directions, or news coverage—because local and media references often switch between the honorific name and the municipal one.

## Where it sits in Sacaba’s sports geography
The stadium is described as being in Sacaba, Bolivia, at an elevation of 2,725 m above sea level.
Wikipedia also states it’s the central stadium of Sacaba, and—together with Estadio Félix Capriles—one of the only stadiums in the Cochabamba metropolitan area certified by the Bolivian Football Federation for use in Bolivia’s professional division.

## Core specs (surface, size, capacity)
These are the key venue facts documented in the stadium’s reference entry:

– Surface: grass (césped)
– Pitch dimensions: 110 × 75 m
– Seated capacity: 6,200 spectators
– Owner: Gobierno Autónomo Municipal de Sacaba

Wikipedia also breaks down the seating by stand:
– General: 3,200
– North: 1,500
– South: 1,500
– Preferencia: 1,100

It further notes the capacity can be “flexed” up to 8,000 depending on safety constraints, while ticketing may be limited to 6,200 for safety reasons.

## Build timeline and opening
The stadium’s construction and opening are presented as follows:

– Construction start: January 2012
– Construction end: June 2013
– Opening date: 11 September 2013
– Cost: 14,500,000 bolivianos (Bs.)

The same source describes the inauguration as a civic–military act attended by national and local authorities, with a featured match between Wilstermann and Bolívar decided on penalties after a scoreless draw.

## What facilities are documented on-site
Wikipedia lists several functional features that help explain why the stadium can host higher-level fixtures:

– Two full team dressing rooms (showers, massage tables)
– A dedicated referees’ changing room
– Meeting room and administrative offices
– Bathrooms in all stands
– Four lighting towers
– 14 broadcast booths above the Preferencia stand, with internet access

It also states that in 2017, top-flight requirements included installing a 5-meter security fence around stands due to proximity to the pitch and changing the field dimensions from 70×102 to 110×75, after which the venue was enabled for league use.

## How it’s been used (professional football and events)
The stadium entry indicates that when Estadio Félix Capriles closed for remodeling tied to Cochabamba 2018 South American Games, the Sacaba stadium served as the primary venue for Wilstermann and Aurora from October 2017 to June 2018, after adaptations for first-division matches.
It also states the stadium hosted men’s football in the 2018 South American Games (with six matches).

Beyond sport, the entry describes recurring civic events in the stadium—such as parades, military demonstrations, and anniversary-related activities tied to Sacaba’s foundation commemoration.

## Getting there (what’s specifically documented)
Wikipedia’s “Transportes” section states that because the stadium is near Sacaba’s main plaza and local buses/trufis pass through that plaza, travelers can use listed lines: 230, 212, 244, 233, 242, 240, 220, and N.

## Data quality and “outdated” flags
– Expansion plans: Wikipedia references a proposed 2020 expansion concept (capacity and infrastructure upgrades). Without a newer confirmation source, treat that as historical planning, not a current status guarantee.
– Your rating (3.5): included as provided input, not verified against a live ratings platform in this write-up.

If you want, paste any official municipal page (or a current fixture listing) and I’ll tighten this further to only what’s verifiable from those primary sources.
