Facility Notes: Rio 2016 Organizing Committee Ordered To Undertake Maracanã Repair Work

A Brazilian court ordered the Rio 2016 organizing committee to "undertake repair work at the iconic" Maracanã Stadium after it was "left abandoned earlier this year." Rio de Janeiro Judge Maria Paula Gouvêa Galhardo said that Rio 2016 would be fined $30,000 per day "if work was not finished within 30 days" (XINHUA, 3/8).

Premier League side West Ham's "controversial" London Stadium has been named Stadium of the Year for '16 by architectural experts. The former London 2012 Olympic Stadium "saw off competition from 28 other venues to be named StadiumDB's best stadium, voted for by a jury of five experts." Criteria included the stadium's "visual impact, how it relates to its surrounding and how innovative it is" (SKY SPORTS, 3/8).
