The area
Address
Neighborhood: Sé
Sé, which derives its name from Sé Square, is a central neighborhood in historic São Paulo. Close by, the Law School, the Museum of the Court of Justice and the Metropolitan Cathedral offer inspiring architecture. If you are looking for cultural activities, head to Caixa Cultural and check the schedule. In the area there is a popular pedestrian street called “Rua Direita”, one of the first streets in the region, which today marks the crowded perimeter. Sé is a great area to explore during daytime, but use caution if visiting alone at night.

As a paulistan I decided to visit Pacaembu and the Football Museum to take a relative out. I ended up being fooled by the old flanelines of stadiums and events. As they approach you at the entrance of the parking bag, they roll you in charging an absurd fee, when the parking of the Pacaembu stadium is done by application Blue Zone (about 6 reais). I died with 80 reais and I'm not even sure that the app was registered. Hahahah That's what you can't research or plan any trip. Ah yes, the Football Museum is nice and when the works are done it will be better. The hard thing was to calm me down after I found out I was fooled. 😭 Laughing so I didn't cry. ↓️🙂😄😄

Pacaembu is an iconic place to visit and walk the track and pitch to replay epic past matches. The Futbol Museum is worth a visit just for the Pop Culture exhibits themselves. It’s tremendous and the adjacent gift store is the best place to purchase your favorite team’s apparel.

The Pacaembu Stadium is a great place to visit. Home to one of the traditional Sao Paulo soccer teams. The soccer museum inside the museum is a great attraction for people from any age. Nevertheless, I must admit that the pastries nearby the stadium were my favorite part of visiting Pacaembu. No wonder they are called "The Best Pastel of Sao Paulo"!
Do not miss the opportunity to experience the pasteis there!
PS: The only down side is parking. As soon as you arrive, tons of young men try to sell parking permits. These are required by law and if you park and dont display your permit you might be fined.

This was probably very OK in the 50, but now it is old, has not enough restrooms, no food court, no parking so it needs to be updated like the Orange Bowl was.

A fan of the sport for my whole life, attending a Sao Paulo v Santos game at Pacaembu was on of my favorite experiences - the atmosphere was incredible throughout the 2-1 SP victory over its rival. They say this is one of the the cathedrals in the religion of football, and now I understand why.

A fairly old school stadium that can host around 40,000 people. I came here to visit the Museum of Football but while I was here I noticed they were setting up for a game. It was Brazil vs Canada in America's rugby championship so I attended. It rained quite heavily and most of the stadium is not under a roof so note that. But it was a good atmosphere.

Como foram construídas as estruturas de madeira do ginásio e quem foram os autores?
Written September 24, 2017
José.
Bom dia!
Peço desculpas, mas, por toda parte por onde andei no estádio não há nenhum lugar que tenha estrutura de madeira. Por todos os lugares, tudo é feito de concreto armado. Se há alguma parte que seja de madeira, peço desculpas, mas, não vi.
Um abraço,
Marcelo.

O Estádio do Pacaembu foi um dos Estadios sede da Copa do Mundo de 1950. Aquela que nós só perdemos de 2 a 1 na Final.
Written September 2, 2015
O local foi inaugurado em 27 de abril de 1940, com a presença do então presidente da República, Getúlio Vargas, que foi recebido por enorme vaia dos paulistas por não ser benquisto depois do episódio histórico da Revolução Constitucionalista de 1932. A inauguração também contou com as presenças do interventor Ademar de Barros e do prefeito Prestes Maia.[4] Foi considerado, na época, o maior e mais moderno estádio de futebol da América do Sul, com capacidade para acolher setenta mil pessoas.[5]
No evento de inauguração, além das vaias a Getúlio Vargas, outra manifestação política foi feita pelo público presente. Durante o período da Ditadura Vargas, eram proibidas as ostentações das bandeiras estaduais, mas, durante os desfiles das delegações que representavam clubes da capital paulista, a do São Paulo entrou ostentando o nome e as cores do time, que são as mesmas do Estado de São Paulo. O estádio inteiro e os locutores de todas as rádios, revoltados com a censura, driblaram-na aplaudindo de pé a equipe, o que gerou o apelido de "O Mais Querido" ao clube.[6]
A primeira partida foi disputada um dia depois da inauguração, em 28 de abril de 1940, entre o Palestra Itália, antigo nome da Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, e o Coritiba, com vitória da equipe paulistana por 6 a 2. Como o dia foi marcado por uma rodada dupla, logo na sequência, houve uma segunda partida, entre o Corinthians e o Atlético Mineiro, a convite da prefeitura da capital. O alvinegro paulistano venceu o mineiro por 4 a 2.[7]
O Estádio Municipal do Pacaembu leva hoje o nome do "Marechal da Vitória", Paulo Machado de Carvalho, chefe da delegação brasileira nas vitoriosas campanhas das Copas de 1958, na Suécia, e de 1962, no Chile. E que também foi o fundador da TV Record, dentre outros veículos de mídia[8] , assim como presidente do São Paulo Futebol Clube, por duas oportunidades.
Durante a gestão de Paulo Maluf, a concha acústica foi demolida (em 6 de setembro de 1969)[9] e no seu lugar construído o "Tobogã", uma arquibancada com capacidade para dez mil pessoas. Atualmente, a capacidade do Estádio do Pacaembu é de 40 199 pessoas[10] , distribuídas da seguinte forma: arquibancada setor amarelo (portão 3): 5 186 pessoas, arquibancada setor verde (portão 4): 5 226 pessoas, cadeira especial laranja (portões 9, 17 e 19): 6 467 pessoas, setor laranja família (portão 21): 2 447 pessoas, setor laranja visitante (portão 22): 2 450 pessoas, numerada setor azul (portões 8 e 20): 2 082 pessoas, numerada setor manga (portões 8 e 20): 4 364 pessoas, tobogã lado ímpar: 5 882 pessoas, tobogã lado par: 5 880 pessoas, setor tribuna de honra: 47 pessoas, setor imprensa leste: 42 pessoas, setor imprensa oeste: 126 pessoas.
Em maio de 1942, o estádio recebeu o maior público de sua história. Na ocasião, São Paulo e Corinthians empataram por 3 a 3 para um público de 72 018 torcedores, recorde nunca quebrado. O jogo marcou a estreia do jogador Leônidas da Silva, o "Diamante Negro", na equipe do São Paulo.[11]
A maior goleada vista no estádio aconteceu em 1945, quando o São Paulo venceu o Jabaquara, da cidade de Santos, por 12 a 1.
