Supersize seats for super-fat football fans: Brazil builds special ‘obesity section’ for World Cup in Rio
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | March 2, 2013 0:52
seats have constructed to hold obese football fans during next year’s World Cup.
The reinforced seats will be able to hold fans that weigh up to 40 stone at Rio 2014.
But the double-width seats will cost larger fans twice the standard ticket price at the matches in Fortaleza’s Castelao stadium.
They are priced at £38 – while the cheapest standard seats, which hold fans up to 20 stone, are £19, reported The Sun.
The 120 seats are blue instead of the standard white and have been installed in the 64,000 capacity venue.
The seats are obligatory under Brazilian disability laws – one per cent of Brazil’s stadium seating is set aside for the disabled, including obese people.
Special tickets for obese fans have gone on sale for June’s Confederations Cup in Brazil, a dress rehearsal for the World Cup.
