Estadio do Morumbi

Description

The stadium was officially named Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo, but it got soon referred to as Morumbi. Few changes were made to the stadium in the next decades until it underwent an upgrade in the late 1990s. This also reduced the capacity of the stadium to its current total. While the official capacity of Morumbi is 72,809, often not more than 62,000 tickets are available for sale. São Paulo recently announced plans for a major redevelopment of Morumbi, which include the construction of a roof that will cover all seats.
