What initially drew my attention wasn't the outside architecture, but instead what the stadium had to offer to its visitors. 😊 Going there for the Brazil x Honduras match a day prior to the Olympic opening ceremony. I made a u-turn 😊 at the nearest exist because a "service" was taking longer than I could be standing in line for; I didn't 😊 purchase the ticket in the end (it turned out they had e a system to resell the tickets), my cousins 😊 decided to meet me there anyways.
A big sports fan myself, ( I went to the 2014 world cup opening 😊 match with my younger brother), was deeply curious about what Olympic stadium had to offers when people gathered inside, watching 😊 something of interest. I could only speculate what would be it like from what little I had read about England's 😊 wembley stadium.
All that curiosity aside, I made my way up to the ticket counter just to abruptly made a complete 😊 stop in my advance, short due to the line to buy tickets; then my eyes shifted to my right where 😊 there was what it seemed the stadium staff ready to gladly help disabled and elderly visitors climb aboard spacious lifts 😊 that would peacefully carry them directly up to what I supposed was ground level seating. Two staff women greet the 😊 visitors asking everyone of course if they can assist them to go up. The lift is built facing the field 😊 like the arena is.
When you pass the security arches walking a couple of meters further in you get wristbands put 😊 on your wrist meaning your non- re entry and identification to enter access the inside lounge .
Buzzing loudly is 😊 a w large beeh ready to get work going. Food is not allowed on the field even though most come 😊 in take out bags; instead of taking pictures, security and police make rounds ensuring safe premises."
