Mineirăo & Mineirinho, a photo from Minas Gerais, Southeast

Photographer's Note

With a current capacity for 76,500 spectators, the Governador Magalhăes Pinto stadium, known as Mineirăo, was inaugurated in 1965 and is located in the region of the Pampulha Architectural Complex. It is the main stage of soccer in Minas Gerais. From their lawns, star players such as Tostăo, Reinaldo, Toninho Cerezo, Dirceu Lopes and Ronaldo emerged onto the world soccer scene.

The opening match took place on September 5, 1965, between the Minas Gerais team and the Argentine club River Plate. The game was attended by 73,201 payers, but at the opening, around 80,000 people attended. The Minas Gerais team won the game against the Argentines by 1-0, and the first official goal of the stadium was scored by Buglę, at the time a player for Atlético Mineiro.

The Mineirăo receives, annually, the visit of 100,000 tourists. In the main hall, there is a preset exhibition of all times champion miners, from the amateur era to the present day. At the entrance to the stadium, plaques honor the clubs from Brazil and abroad that have passed through its lawn. In 1980, on land next to the stadium, a sports and events gymnasium, named Mineirinho, was built.

Another famous landmark, but bad for Brazilians, was the 7-1 defeat against Germany in the 2014 World Cup, the biggest rout suffered by the national soccer team in its history.

O Mineirăo recebe, anualmente, a visita de 100 mil turistas. No salăo principal, há uma exposiçăo de pôsteres de todos os times mineiros campeőes, da era do amadorismo até os dias atuais. Na entrada do estádio, placas homenageiam os clubes do Brasil e do exterior que passaram por seu gramado. Em 1980, em terreno ao lado do estádio, foi construído um ginásio de esportes e eventos, batizado de Mineirinho.

Hi Lucas
It isn't easy without your note to identify what the structure is but it certainly is a good photo of it tucked into the waterside trees.
cheers
Ian

The towering clouds over the horizon has an imposing sight above the stadium edifice, Lucas.
Yet, still enough light for the dusk photography.
I remember the 7-1 game, bad luck, it happenes - surprise that you mentioned...
Bom novo dia,
Ike

Ciao Lucas, I remember the sensational defeat of Brazil, but the main element of the photo more than the stadium is the cloud in the sky, really impressive, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hi Lucas

From what I read, it was a great game between England and Denmark. The better team won on the day. Dramatic clouds here with a nice view across the water to the stadium. Tfs!

Hello Lucas,
At least once I have seen this stadium from the inside. That was the terrible 1-7 game. But I have never before seen it like this from the lake side. It is quite beautifully situated by the park along the water, but the fine atmosphere of this photo is created by the heavy clouds covering part of the sky. There are also fine colours of early sunset and you exposed this well.
Best regards,
Gert

Ciao Lucas,Conheço muito bem os jogadores que vocę relaciona nas notas, muitos dos quais atuaram na Itália, e obviamente me lembro bem das 7 peras que vocę pegou da Alemanha na partida mais trágica da história do futebol brasileiro. Agora tudo está indo melhor, tanto para o Brasil quanto para a Itália. Uma captura verdadeiramente original e bem detalhada de longe, apesar da distância. Buona serata! Luciano

Hello Lucas,
I must confess, I find the clouds more interesting than the stadium.

Hi Lucas,
interesting object, even more interesting to read about its story.
For me the highlight are here the very attractive cloud pattern above the structure.
Nice multiple horizontal layers of the composition,
M

Pozdrav.

Lep pogled, opasan trenutak, interesantan i dobar tekst ...
Lepa arhitektura na obali i opasni oblaci koji dolaze i donose nevreme, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kotrastom, perspektivom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.

Zelim vam sve najbolje za vikend.
Paja.

toda vez que vejo fotos da pampulha me lembro da volta que eu dei ao lago, esquecendo das pontas de água que faziam a orla ficar interminável. desci no lado errado e fui de a pé. cheguei ŕ capelinha da pampulha ao anoitecer.
um momento de fim de dia acima dos famosos centros esportivos.

um abraço

Hi Lucas
A superb capture with interesting content - incidentally I am a die heart fan of Brazil not only now but since 1966. I remember the famous names you mentioned such as Tostăo who played with Pele, and Dirceu - the fantastic winger in 1978 WC. One of my fav is Eder of Atlético Mineiro who played alongside Zico, Toninho Cerezo, Falcao & Dr. Soctrates in 1982 WC to name a few. I've also been watching Brasil Serie A. Joga bonito, viva Brasil!!
Tx for sharing
Best regards

Ola Lucas
What a huge stadium to practice your favourite sport, you people of Brazil!
Thanks for the elaborate note about your sportive passion which we can watch worldwide over TV.
The dark cloud hovering over the stadiun could be a sign of bad luck for the Brazilian team though, so may I suggest you to take a new picture from the same angle with a radious sky over the stadium :) !
Abraços from Canada

Hi Lucas,

The composition is well divided, the sky, the stadium with the trees and the lake. The point of view is showing the details of the Governador Magalhăes Pinto stadium. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

A rare opportunity to see the famous from stadium outside. The photo is too dark for my taste, even if the heavy clouds above the stadium are taken into account ... But still quite good!
Best regards
Saa

Hola Lucas.
Como no, el futbol tiene una gran aficion en tu pais, y este estadio es un buen exponente de ello, de considerable tamańo para la epoca, esta rodeado de abundante arbolado, preciosas nubes en lo que parece un atardecer.
Una buena gestion, tanto de la luz como de la nitidez.
Bien hecho. Me gusta.
Feliz comienzo de semana.
Un abrazo y mis mejores deseos para ti.
Luis

Hello Lucas,
I'm not a football fan but I do watch football , only European and World Cup.
Watching football can be so 'ecstatic' and 'triumph' when the team you are supporting has won.
I'm not going to talk about losing , it happened a lot of times. Just like the big clouds looming in with despaired :-)
On the other hand, I do love these clouds. It's so mesmerizing. Great shot.
Tfs,
Loong
