Who say to you that Sao Paulo FC is richest than Corinthians? Just in your dreams!

Nice stadium!!! i like it.... something different in all this new stadiums projects and using the rectangular shape as the English style stadiums. i really like it.

[Andre81]

i like it very much. its unusual shape breaks some boring designs that are so common lately. so bring it on

[Chex5000]

Agreed! However is rather small for the WC and a city that large.

well, its small for a city that large, as a World Cup stadium. But São Paulo has several other stadiums already.

Maybe so, but; are they going to use them during the WC?

no, and thats exatly why so many people bash building a new stadium for Corinthians, with government money help, when there is already a public stadium (Pacaembu), already a new stadium being renovated for 45 thousand people (Parque Antartica, from Palmeiras) and already a stadium for over 65 thousand people, also under renovation (Morumbi). And none of those will be used in the World Cup.

[MoreOrLess]

So plans have shifted back to the Morumbi now? I thought the Corinthians stadium was sposed to be hosting matches with some temp seats.

[AcesHigh]

nobody said plans have changed back to Morumbi...

[lennon.]

Excellent design, unlike the boring classic round design of the Brazilian stage, the audience will be closer to the action than any other stadium in Brazil. Congratulation.

Not judging how useful it will be for the city (still, isn't Itaquera financed privately, with only the temporary stands paid for from public money?), but this stadium will be good for the World Cup. Since the tournament is hosted by Brazil, since there will already be a few huge round stadiums, this one will be very characterictic and having it done in the football-specific way is quite some quality compared to several stadiums that are only 'close-to-football-specific' - like the Beira Rio, Maracana, Mineirao and Castelao.

there are no such thing as "close to football specific". Beira Rio is a football specific stadium. Being slighly oval or not is not being "football specific".

its a simple fact that all the largest stadiums in Brazil were oval. There are hundreds of square "english like" football stadiums in Brazil, where the crowd is very near the pitch. All of them are small stadiums from small clubs.

besides, if you want a private stadium for 60 thousand people, square shaped, look no further than Grêmio Arena, which is being built in this exact moment and wont even be used in the World Cup.

Actually - there is Because they're neither football-specific in the regular meaning of that phrase, nor multifunctional in terms of hosting athletics. We both know I'm not using professional names here, but I don't think I have to explain what I mean as it's pretty clear that oval stadiums like Beira Rio or Maracana offer compromised sightlines for spectators, compared to the likes of Gremio Arena.

None of those stadiums are good for the Opening match of the WC. And there will be no public money in this stadium, what exists is an incentive and tax free for investment in the region. Much better than the other projects from other cities that are using public money like Brasilia, Rio and Salvador.

If they are no good to host the opening match, why don't open it elsewhere?

wrong. They ARE football specific, even if they are oval.

We both know I'm not using professional names here, but I don't think I have to explain what I mean as it's pretty clear that oval stadiums like Beira Rio or Maracana offer compromised sightlines for spectators, compared to the likes of Gremio Arena.

the compromised sightlines mean just that, not that they arent football specific.

the oval shape is the best shape to put more people in the stadium without adding too much height.

to have a stadium for 80 thousand, either you make it very tall, or you make it not so tall but oval.
