Resumo:The article analyzes how the fans of Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense were challenged by different issues when making the transit between the old Monumental Olympic stadium and the current Arena do Grêmio. The focus of the analysis is on the relationship established between an individual subject, supporter, and the collective subject, football crowd. The empirical material was produced from dialogues with small groups of fans before matches held at Arena do Grêmio. The technology of the Arena do Grêmio allows individualizing the actions of the fans by their control mechanisms, which could authorize the collective of fans to be undone at any time. The fans, in some circumstances, could not be held responsible for actions taken by supporters, while the supporters could not be adequately evaluated in their actions without taking into account the context of the supporters.
