Athensfan Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I like the music in the video. To be honest, it looks like there's a TON of work left to do. I think they'll get it done, but it could come down to the wire. That's never an ideal scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyelBrazil Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Some people who never been to Salvador think those small houses behind the stadium are some favela-like neighbourhood, but those are not... People in Skyscrapercity showed lots of pics of that area... Only middle-class chaotic urbanistic area, like most of Salvador... Apart of the ugly neighbourhoods, what a stadium!

menegazfelipe Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I didn't even think that was a favela... Just that it looks so ugly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (^) I disagree the stadium is integrated with the city almost. Its a perfect stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I didn't even think that was a favela... Just that it looks so ugly... IMO, Sao Paulo's stadium have a uglier neighbourhood around... (From SSC, Arena de Sao Paulo thread: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1205335&page=585) But I can't talk much about Salvador, never been there, and probably you already been...

Daze Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (^) I disagree the stadium is integrated with the city almost. Its a perfect stadium. I agree with you. Specially that lake on one side of the stadium looks nice (that open side) And the architects of the Salvador Stadium coming from my hometown.

The exterior can be upgraded (even placing glass as Victor pointed), but the ramps and the "7"-like columns can not be changed at all. Maracana exterior is considered a heritage site. Well, it's a football-mad country, our temple/national site, is somehow Maracana... NY Times once said: it's the only country where the soul is a stadium... And somehow, it's true. Indeed, Maracana is the place where Brazilian people/society, as nation, suffered its most painful defeat ever: a match Uruguay won 2-1 over us in the 1950 World Cup... Yes, for a country with very few international wars in their history, this is THE history of our people. PS: Loved your sig too! Castelao Stadium (picture from July 2012) The structure of the roof is already placed by now!
