DannyelBrazil 703 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Maracana is more about the "symbology" inside the Brazilian football-like souls than actually an archtectural mark. Also must be said, some of the main events ever held in Brazil and some special records about attendance were done in Maracana stadium, including the biggest rock concert ever in a Stadium with 330,000 or biggest attendance for a Volleyball match: 145,000 for Brazil v USSR in the 80s too.

Athensfan 1081 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 With all due respect, "entrance" and "exit" are not difficult words to research and spell correctly. Any free online translator would get it right. If you're organizing major international sporting events, you should be able to get it right the first time. Test events are for working out logistics such as crowd control, parking, mass transportation, concessions, operations, etc. They are not for basics like labeling entrances and exits. It's an embarrassing mistake and one hopes it is simply an isolated error. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DannyelBrazil 703 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Athens, I work with design and sometimes we got to delete some word to change it and simply delete one letter. The problem is: nobody checked the sign before print, which is not good. My point is: No wrong English sign were used during an event in Salvador's Stadium. People saw that before the event, and in the next day, the sign was fixed. And it was fixed BEFORE A TEST EVENT. I think test events are there exactly to fix ****... Now, 100% of the signs in Salvador's stadium are okay about English language. So no "chaotic World Cup" can be claimed, specially more than 1 year before even the first kick-off.

Victor Mata 272 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 With all due respect, "entrance" and "exit" are not difficult words to research and spell correctly. Neither is Rio de Janeiro, which comes in all sorts of spellings from international media: Rio de Janerio, Rio Dejaneiro, Riodejaneiro... It happens to everybody everywhere. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Danny, I absolutely agree that predicting a "chaotic World Cup" based on the signs is a ridiculous exaggeration. I'm glad to hear the signs have been fixed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It happens to everybody everywhere. Even more funny is what International Media (specially the English Speaking) makes with Sao Paulo spelling... It's hard to find correct examples... In fact, there is this one, from NBC Well, they placed SÃO PAULO just 5,000 Km far from where it really is: I'd say the coverage of the sports events in Brazil from NBC will be chaotic... Yeah, but the "de Janeiro" has mostly been dropped too. Like the movie was just "Rio" and it will be "Rio 2016." Good to see you spelled it correctly! Danny, I absolutely agree that predicting a "chaotic World Cup" based on the signs is a ridiculous exaggeration. I'm glad to hear the signs have been fixed. One sign, not "signs". And it was fixed even before the first test event. Media in Brazil published the picture in the newspapers and asked the Stadium owner to fix it. One day later, it was already fixed.

cslopes54 36 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Mineirao and Maracana for me falls into the same category, very different from other stadiums and restored to keep the originality when it was once built, Mineirao did it well, im afraid i cant say the same for Rio's soccer home, the roof and color is not working for me, i would have rather seen a drastic change other than smthg messy, when i look at the pictures it just seems so busy . aghhhh i just cant like it. x_x 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
