Modernizing Morumbi Posted by on Dec 27, 2011 in Brazilian News, Sports

Though it’s unlikely to host games during the World Cup in 2014, São Paulo’s Morumbi Stadium is getting a makeover. The stadium is home to São Paulo Futebol Clube, one of the state’s four largest local teams. The project was announced last week by the city’s mayor. According to local media source Jornal da Cidade, the stadium will be redone to be able to host both sports and large events:

Além da cobertura do estádio, o Morumbi vai receber uma arena multiuso para shows e eventos, um hotel com centro de convenções, um novo memorial, terá a capacidade do atual estacionamento ampliada e os acessos do público serão reconfigurados. Durante as obras, a capacidade máxima para o público (67 mil pessoas) não será alterada, assim como a estrutura existente para receber os torcedores.
