In some texts in this column I usually make some confessions and perhaps in today’s I make the most emblematic: in times of world Cup nothing is more important to me than the historic football championship.
Consequently, this season I think and breathe football and, therefore, I watch all the games that are within my reach, I participate in football matches and so on.
But why not “eat football”, since from time to time the options (and the quality, it is worth mentioning) of gastronomic spaces inside football stadiums 🇧🇷
Hence the idea for today’s text, to indicate to readers some of the different bars and restaurants in the four biggest stadiums in São Paulo and to demonstrate that it is possible to visit them outside of match days.
Clubism aside (I’m a São Paulo fanatic, as I’ve already mentioned here), I think it’s super cool to go to stadiums and that’s why I decided to vary the indications so as not to limit myself just to the Stadium of my beloved tricolor.
It is important to point out that all the indicated places work regardless of whether there are games.
I hope you like it and that you take advantage of this “housekeeping” energy to cheer for our team to bring Hexa home.
