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."
