I'm pretty sure that's a render - the only thing real is the backdrop

 

I think this idea was rejected and they went with another project.

Ah, "render" was the actual word I was looking for indeed, obrigado

I like "Engenhão" (as the Olympic Stadium was called Them) too. The outside, However, is still quite messy with paint problems and a lot of debris.

 

Until the Olympics they must solve, but has been somewhat troubled so far.

Oh, I didn't know that.

 

Let's hope they can resolve it soon.

No matter what the official name is, Botafogo should keep calling it Engenhão which is much better than Olympic Stadium. And for sure better than João Havelange Stadium...how did they ever get it in their completely crazy mind to give it the name of the guy that makes Sepp Blatter look like a non-corrupt charity worker?
