Estadio Olímpico (Caracas)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Estadio Olimpico is a multi-use stadium in Caracas, Venezuela. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 25,000 people. This stadium is located at the "Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas".
The Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas, built to the design of the architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva, between 1940 and 1960, is an outstanding example of the Modern Movement in architecture. The university campus integrates the large number of buildings and functions into a clearly articulated ensemble, including masterpieces of modern architecture and visual arts, such as the Aula Magna with the "Clouds" of Alexander Calder, the Olympic Stadium, and the Covered Plaza.
This stadium will set his seating capacity to 40,000 due to Copa América 2007.
