El Estadio de Antofagasta

Antofagasta has a beautiful soccer stadium.  We finally went to tour it (just on our own, and no, we couldn't get inside exactly).  They have a pretty nice mosaic on the outside of it (although as you can see it's of someone swimming not playing futbol, so I'm not sure how that's related).  They are also currently creating another one (see the pic below).  Just some art student sitting on a ladder putting the pieces together.  

These women are putting another mosaic together of the names of those who contributed to the art piece.  If you look to the right, you will see something that is very common in Antofagasta - a huge bus loading up miners.  That's actually one of the better meeting places I've seen.  Oftentimes it's just the side of a road blocking traffic.

 

  Here is the outside of the stadium - looks like a big bird's nest. At night the stadium lights up and is really pretty.

Here is the inside.  We couldn't get in, but we were able to peek through a fence.  Pretty professional, I'd say! We'd really like to go to a game here at some point.
