What initially drew my attention wasn't the outside architecture, but instead what the stadium had to offer to its visitors. 1️⃣ Going there for the Brazil x Honduras match a day prior to the Olympic opening ceremony. I made a u-turn 1️⃣ at the nearest exist because a "service" was taking longer than I could be standing in line for; I didn't 1️⃣ purchase the ticket in the end (it turned out they had e a system to resell the tickets), my cousins 1️⃣ decided to meet me there anyways.
A big sports fan myself, ( I went to the 2014 world cup opening 1️⃣ match with my younger brother), was deeply curious about what Olympic stadium had to offers when people gathered inside, watching 1️⃣ something of interest. I could only speculate what would be it like from what little I had read about England's 1️⃣ wembley stadium.
All that curiosity aside, I made my way up to the ticket counter just to abruptly made a complete 1️⃣ stop in my advance, short due to the line to buy tickets; then my eyes shifted to my right where 1️⃣ there was what it seemed the stadium staff ready to gladly help disabled and elderly visitors climb aboard spacious lifts 1️⃣ that would peacefully carry them directly up to what I supposed was ground level seating. Two staff women greet the 1️⃣ visitors asking everyone of course if they can assist them to go up. The lift is built facing the field 1️⃣ like the arena is.
When you pass the security arches walking a couple of meters further in you get wristbands put 1️⃣ on your wrist meaning your non- re entry and identification to enter access the inside lounge .
Buzzing loudly is 1️⃣ a w large beeh ready to get work going. Food is not allowed on the field even though most come 1️⃣ in take out bags; instead of taking pictures, security and police make rounds ensuring safe premises."
