The Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro was designed by Oscar Niemeyer, with Darcy Ribeiro credited as collaborator on its concept and Peter Gasper designing the lighting. Governor Leonel Brizola commissioned it in 1983, and the infobox and text agree it was completed in 1984. The infobox places it in Santo Cristo, while the text says Cidade Nova.
The article says it reflects socialismo moreno, or multicultural socialism, and names no materials. The infobox gives a parade strip of 1,870 feet (570 m), while the text says 700 m (2,300 feet). It holds 90,000, and a 295-foot (90 m) three-legged arch stands over Apotheosis Square.
A school with 115 classrooms sits beneath the bleachers. It hosts the Rio Carnival samba parades over four nights each year. The article gives no hours.
