Over the weekend, the newly renovated complex reopened to great fanfare, with stirring musical numbers, a light show and dignitaries including Brazil's president.<p>The headlines in the local media, however, focused not on the fanfare but on the many problems, from flooding in the VIP area to malfunctioning seats and turnstiles.

The current owner is <a href="http://wlrn.org/post/miami-dolphins-ask-taxpayers-go-halfsies-stadium-facelift" target="_blank">asking for public money</a> to help in this endeavor.
