Estadio do Maracana

FIFA fever has come to an end for 2014. Germany played a great game, Messi did not (if only he had learned to shoot...) I don't watch sports but I did catch the final, and it brought back so much memories, not least of which, my visit to the venue and Rio back many years ago.

I took the pictures with a good old point and shoot film camera (that was before digitals were popular) and stitched 2 together to get a panorama. As you can see it still had the 2 level seating configuration (that has since been torn down and rebuilt for the World Cup 2014). Each visitor was given a little access card and there was a little hall of fame and pictures of old teams graced the wall. It was a fun visit.
