Stuck with white elephant stadiums

Once the World Cup and its traveling circus leaves town, four gleaming stadiums that cost $1.6 billion to build and hosted massive crowds will fall silent as their owners struggle to find a use for them.

In the western Brazilian city of Cuiaba, Chilean and Colombian fans produced sellouts of 40,000 at Arena Pantanal for the World Cup.

The next big game at the $260 million stadium is on July 20 - for the championship of Brazil's third division. Officials are hoping for 4,000 fans.
