Renovation
In 2010, Independência was demolished apart from its dressing rooms, and a brand new stadium is being built in its place to host the games of Atlético Mineiro, Cruzeiro and América Mineiro while Mineirão undergoes renovations to host the 2014 World Cup. During the stadium's renovation, all three Belo Horizonte teams played in the Arena do Jacaré, located in nearby city Sete Lagoas. In 2012, the renovation was completed and América Mineiro returned to its original venue, which is being also used to host games of Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro until the renovation of Mineirão is completed.

Famous quotes containing the word renovation:
“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Postmodernity is the simultaneity of the destruction of earlier values and their reconstruction. It is renovation within ruination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
