Stadiums With Stunning Glass Roofs That Let Nature Be Part of the Game
17. Estádio Mineirão – Belo Horizonte, Brazil
As part of Brazil’s 2014 World Cup preparations, the iconic Mineirão underwent a massive renovation that included a semi-transparent glass roof extension. The roof, fitted with solar panels and sustainable ETFE materials, now captures natural light while powering parts of the stadium itself. This blend of function and eco-conscious design creates a breezy, bright atmosphere for spectators—perfectly complementing Brazil’s football-loving culture. On sunny match days, the translucent canopy bathes the crowd in daylight, creating a vibrant, energetic ambiance that amplifies the roar of the home fans.
