Maracanã Stadium

Frommer's Review

Alas, soccer fans hoping to catch a game at the world-famous Maracanã will have to be patient. The soccer stadium and temple of Brazil's national passion is closed for a much-needed overhaul. The stadium will be undergoing some major renovations to get it ready for the 2007 Pan American Games. The opening date has been set for early 2006 but these deadlines are notoriously unreliable. For those hoping to take in a game, check with your hotel concierge for information on the reopening of the stadium.
