Flamengo president Rodolfo Landim revealed that he will fulfill an old promise regarding the possible new stadium, last Thursday. According to him, if the red-black club's new home really gets off the ground, it will have two sectors without seats, one behind each goal. The club's current president stated that he is inspired by the "general" of other arenas around the world, such as that of Signal Iduna Park, owned by Borussia Dortmund (ALE).
For Flamengo, which has its history absolutely linked to Maracanã, the "general" has great symbolism. In the old days of the stadium, the popular sector, without seats and located on the edge of the field, marked an era in Rio's football. Nowadays, the grandstand style has taken on new formats, but can still be seen in several arenas around the world, mainly in Germany.
Signal Iduna Park is a reference to modernism, without abandoning the "root" of the stands. Borussia Dortmund's home ground is known worldwide for the "yellow wall" sector, which is behind one of the goals. There is no separation into upper and lower stands, and the space has no chairs, which benefits the cauldron aesthetic. The yellow wall sector model is the most requested among Flamengo fans, for their possible new stadium. In addition to the proximity of the stands to the field, the size of the space allocated for the most ardent fans is one of the factors that pleases not only the red and black fans, but also the club's management.
Home of the main team from Germany, Bayern Munich, the Allianz Arena was opened in 2005. Even though it is a recent construction and has an aesthetic very similar to the most modern arenas in the world, the place has a reserved space without chairs. It is behind one of the goals, in the so-called southern sector of the stadium.
Despite some flamengo fans not being pleased with the modern aesthetic presented, the Allianz Arena is seen as one of the references of the red-black board, for the construction of its new stadium. The sector where organized Bayern fans are is not that big, compared to Signal Iduna Park, as it only occupies the lower ring of the three that are present behind one of the goals. However, the proximity of the stands to the field is seen as a positive factor.
The Neo Química Arena, formerly the Corinthians Arena, was opened in 2014 for the World Cup in Brazil. After the end of the World Cup, the chairs in one of the sectors behind the goal were removed. One of the most modern stadiums in Brazil, the home of the São Paulo club manages to create a "cauldron" aesthetic due to the popular space. In addition to the non-seat sector of the arena not being separated by a lower and upper ring, its proximity to the field creates a favorable environment for the home team. Large, spacious and eye-catching, the place where Corinthians' organized fans are located has already witnessed several parties and is one of the differences of the club's stadium.
The MRV Arena, the most recent in Brazil, opened in 2023, tried bring a modern stadium aesthetic. However, the project always envisaged a popular sector without chairs. The same is intended for the main organized fans of Atlético-MG. The space is behind one of the goals, only in the lower ring. Although the sector without chairs is not considered large and spacious, its proximity to the field gives it a "cauldron" aesthetic. The place was designed to house not only Atlético-MG's most ardent fans, but also the mast flags, horizontal and vertical banners and flags of the club's organization.

A journalist guarantees that the way the media treats Mengão is always in an exalted tone, which has left the fans 'spoiled'

This Tuesday (16), journalist André Rizek participated in the Charla Podcast and once again gained prominence on social media when talking about Flamengo. Questioned by Bruno Cantarelli about the way the press treats the club , the SporTV presenter pointed out what he considers a “bad habit” of the red-black fan.
André Rizek: "Flamengo has a noble treatment"
According to Rizek, over the years, the media has created a culture in which the spotlight focuses on Flamengo , while rivals with similar achievements don't receive the same recognition. This behavior, he says, has accustomed fans to always expecting "noble treatment."
"When I came to live in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, my first shock was the media coverage. The first thing I noticed was that Flamengo gets a noble treatment. For example, if Flamengo wins the Guanabara Cup: 'Guanabara belongs to Mengão!' Then Botafogo wins the State Championship: 'Botafogo wins an empty State Championship.' Wait, something's different," said the journalist.
Rizek also cited recent examples to illustrate his point. According to him, any praise given to players from other clubs invariably generates comparisons with Flamengo , as when he praised Jhon Arias when he was still a Fluminense player.
"I said that Jhon Arias was, in my opinion, the best and most complete player active in Brazil. 'But what about Arrasca?' I wasn't talking about Flamengo, I was talking about Arias. You can't praise anything outside of Flamengo. A media culture has been created in Brazil that says: 'To Flamengo, everything; to others, beatings, mockery, belittling, and disrespect.' Flamengo is the most popular club in Brazil, a very powerful brand . But the others also need to be treated with respect," he added.
Despite the criticism, it's worth noting that part of this impact also stems from the engagement of rival fans, a phenomenon dubbed "Flacentrism" by the nation. Since 2019, any prominent team in Brazilian football has been compared to Jorge Jesus' historic team , such as Botafogo in 2024 or Abel Ferreira's Palmeiras. The same goes for players: every prominent number 10 in the country ends up being measured against Arrascaeta.
Because of its successful history and the strength of its fans, Flamengo tends to maintain a privileged position in the media . However, how this prominence is constructed is also influenced by the behavior of fans of other teams.
