Estádio de Dallas expõe o absurdo do Maracanã. Como a Fifa agiu diferente nas duas Copas

Dallas Stadium, where Spain thrashed France, cost US$1.15 billion — and another US$350 million was spent on renovations for the 2026 World Cup. And even so, it has blind spots: you can't see the sidelines or the corner flags from the press boxes and the upper stands. Still, FIFA agreed. Well, for the 2014 World Cup, FIFA ordered the demolition of the Maracanã stands to eliminate blind spots resulting from advertising boards — FIFA's own. The budget went from R$400 million to R$1.2 billion, and the stadium's appearance changed completely. Some say its original design was destroyed. The view improved, that's a fact. But at what cost? Quick Summary Dallas: US$1.15 billion (construction) + US$350 million (2026 World Cup renovation) — and still has blind spots Maracanã: budget jumped from R$400 million to R$1.2 billion in the 2014 renovation — stands demolished because of FIFA's own signs Same problem (blind spots), very different treatment #maracanã #WorldCup2026 #FIFA #ATTStadium #Dallas #Football #WorldCup #WorldCupStadiums #Brazil #Spain #France #WorldFootball
