All 12 of the stadiums hosting 2014 World Cup matches will be either new or completely renovated, and a recently passed Brazilian law requires that at least one percent of their capacity be devoted to seats for fans with disabilities, including obesity.

Above is an extra-wide seat at Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã Stadium, where Bloomberg News sports reporter Tariq Panja is getting a tour today. He snapped the shot, and notes that obese fans will be entitled to a 50 percent discount on match tickets.

Obesity in Brazil is a major problem, and the rate is growing rapidly. But these special seats won't just be available to locals. Fans from around the world can apply, but must have a body mass index of 30 or higher, and be able to prove it with a note from their doctor.

(Note. For a 6-foot man, a weight of 221 pounds puts your BMI at exactly 30. Yes, we're one of the fattest countries on Earth, but that sounds totally doable if you want half-price World Cup tickets. Get to it.)

Shouldn't they pay double since it looks like they are sitting in two seats?

Shouldn't they pay double since the fat seats take up the space of two regular seats?

Nobody's talking about the fact that they should pay double because they are taking up twice as much room.

This is ridiculous. If you are 6 feet tall and 221 pounds, you are not obese.

These people should check out a show called "My 600 pound life" that I stumbled across the other day. That show will turn your stomach.

Obesity is considered a "disability"?

There is not one single "star" of this show - there are many different "stars." These 600 pound people are all over the place, albeit primarily in southern states. Many of the females have normal looking husbands, and it makes you wonder what could possibly be so wrong with that man. Because, to be rather blunt, a 600 pound woman is not exactly attractive. It would be very difficult to get to the point where you would be physically able to perform a sex act with such a 600 pound woman.

I'd rather find $5 than go to a soccer game.

yeah exactly. you could curl up, kinda half lay down
seems like it would be quite comfortable for a non-obese person
and for 1/2 price!
