To bring the discussion back to Stanford (sort of)...

In 1984 I attended a Summer Olympics soccer match between Brazil and West Germany at Stanford Stadium. The Brazilian fans were awesome with their party-throughout-the-match. At the half, they had some traditionally costumed dancers from Brazil and Germany. The crowd cheered the samba and booed the liederhosen, which must explain why Brazil won.

I know that they had some World Cup matches at the old Stanford Stadium twenty years ago, but I guess the new stadium would not be an option for future World Cups/Olympics with its limited seating?

In 1984, the Brazilian supporters stayed in Los Gatos.  Could they party?  Yeah, I guess so.  A very popular local tavern in Los Gatos is C. B. Hannegan's.  the Brazilians went there to party on the first night there, and Hannegan's ran out of booze...at 9:30 p.m.
