Around the stadium, in an area with more than 300,000 sqm, the local community have access to a park with play area, walking track, snack bars, museum and restaurant as well as a rich landscaping project with lots of greenery and a pound.

During the World Cup, the stadium will seat 42,968 spectators, given the minimum established by FIFA. However, as the structure is made of modular steel and precast concrete parts in the upper grandstands at the Northern and Southern sectors, the government of Mato Grosso State can evaluate the post-tournament demand and eventually, reducing the capacity for up to 27,000 spectators, consequently, reducing maintenance costs and also spreading the legacy of the World Cup throughout the State, since up to two smaller stadiums could receive the grandstand modules, increasing its spectators capacity.

With covered seats, Arena Pantanal, as a multi-purpose venue, would be also able to receive besides football, diverse events, such as concerts, exhibitions and fairs and others sports.

The sustainability solutions includes since the reuse of water, natural ventilation and the use of solar power, the use of building materials and systems that enabled the LEED.

The landscape project features only trees that belong to the Cerrado, the Atlantic Forest and Amazon Rainforest ecosystems, representing the three biomes present in the State of Mato Grosso. In addition to the areas of landscaping the park received an area for environmental restoration, with more than 2,000 trees, creating a micro-climate that will benefit the local thermal comfort.
