Though it’s unlikely to host games<\/a> during the World Cup in 2014, S\u00e3o Paulo’s Morumbi Stadium is getting a makeover. The stadium is home to S\u00e3o 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<\/a>, the stadium will be redone to be able to host both sports and large events:<\/p>\n

Al\u00e9m da cobertura do est\u00e1dio, o Morumbi vai receber uma arena multiuso para shows e eventos, um hotel com centro de conven\u00e7\u00f5es, um novo memorial, ter\u00e1 a capacidade do atual estacionamento ampliada e os acessos do p\u00fablico ser\u00e3o reconfigurados. Durante as obras, a capacidade m\u00e1xima para o p\u00fablico (67 mil pessoas) n\u00e3o ser\u00e1 alterada, assim como a estrutura existente para receber os torcedores.<\/em><\/p>\n
