O Estádio Centenário é um lugar interessante para conhecer, principalmente pela história e pela importância que ele tem para o futebol uruguaio. Para quem gosta de futebol, acredito que seja um passeio muito mais especial e que vale bastante a pena. No meu caso, como não sou muito fã de futebol, achei interessante conhecer o estádio e um pouco da sua história, mas não foi um dos passeios que mais me marcou. Mesmo assim, recomendo a visita, especialmente para quem gosta de futebol ou tem interesse pela história esportiva do Uruguai.
