Stadium of America, MG, that is also used (since 210) by one of Belo's two major teams, Atlético Mineiro. The stadium is easily accessible by public transport including the Metro (station: Horto). It's a pretty cozy stadium with little space between the field and the steeply-sloping stand. Capacity is 23,000. The eastern side of the stadium is fully open (no stands), which lowers the atmosphere a bit. Most fanatic supporters are behind the goal on the west side. It is usually easy to get tickets on the day of games at the bilheteria outside or at other selling points. Food and drink inside the stadium is quite expensive and not very special. The vip boxes however are quite nice. If you luck into getting some tickets for those you'll have the best view and also the best service. read more

This is one of the coolest stadium that I have ever seen in my life. The coolest thing I found about the stadium is that they were actually using the bottom portion of it for persons who are homeless due to a natural disaster in 2003 when I went to go visit. But I also enjoyed about this location was that they were able to take us into the locker room so we can see the areas of where the athletes actually get ready. At the time I was told this was the second largest indoor soccer stadium in the world. I have a picture of the World Cup that was one I believe the year before 2002 was the year and I will dig it up and add it to this Yelp. read more
