The power remains off at Maracana Stadium in a fight over who will pay a $1 million electricity bill.
Electricity was shut off a week ago and, on Thursday, electric utility Light said it would remain off until someone pays.

The stadium has fallen into disrepair in recent weeks, with hundreds of seats ripped out by vandals and dumped into a ground-level enclosure.
