Sao Paulo plans to make the new Morumbi stadium the largest stadium in Brazil

This could bring Morumbi’s capacity to 80,000 seats, the largest in Brazil and the second largest in South America, second only to Monumental, which currently has 83,214 seats.

Sao Paulo is treading carefully, but plans to partner with an investment fund to make this work possible. It will also depend on the city council worker, who must start construction work on two swimming pools and reroute the Antonico stream, which is currently running under the stadium.

The work will take approximately eight months and will force Sao Paulo to change its stadium temporarily. There is already a letter of intent signed with Pakaembu, which is expected to reopen on January 25, 2024, in front of 25,000 spectators.

The plan to create the new largest stadium in Brazil, Mas Morumbi, Morumbi Monumental or simply Morumbi, is in keeping with the general moment that Sao Paulo is experiencing. Only Flamengo takes more people to the Maracana than São Paulo. There are 54,000 spectators in red and black, and 48,000 spectators in tricolor during the Brazilian championship.

Another factor is putting Sao Paulo Stadium back on the music show map. There have been six shows by Coldplay, and there should be performances by Rebeldy and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in November. The plan is to offer units for concerts of up to 25,000 people and the possibility of performing for 80,000 people in band situations such as Coldplay and Red Hot.

It is also considered to preserve the popular sectors at the current prices. São Paulo currently has 14,000 seats for the poorer segments of the population.
