		A modern stadium (plural stadiums or stadia in English) is a place, or venue, for (mostly) outdoor sports, concerts or other events, consisting of a field or stage partly or completely surrounded by a structure designed to allow spectators to stand or sit and view the event.
		The term "stadium" has also often been used for baseball parks, especially since the construction of Yankee Stadium in 1923, which had a running track initially, as a "true" stadium would, and was also used for football.
		Yankee Stadium, for example, was built on a triangular city block in The Bronx, New York City.

	Stadium Summary
		Professionalism had become the norm, as the stadium concert gave birth to one of rock's biggest cliches: the audience ritual of requesting encores by holding lit cigarette lighters into the darkness of the arena.
		Stadiums with a 20,000-seat capacity, which were considered to be the big prizes in the 1970s, had became second-tier venues when superstar groups were on the road.
		An exception is the basketball arena at Duke University, which is called Cameron Indoor Stadium and the old Chicago Stadium, former home of the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League and Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association.

		Heysel '85 is Lode Desmet's account of the 1985 UEFA Cup final at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, which featured a riot between fans from England's Liverpool and Italy's Juventus that resulted in the trampling deaths of 39 in attendance before the game began.
		There was no central command post within the stadium for the game, and thus the communication from authorities outside of the stadium to officers inside the stadium was extremely slow and confused.
		Ultimately, Heysel '85 is an important historical archive of one of the worst sporting disasters in history.

		The Heysel Stadium disaster occurred due to football hooliganism in which a retaining wall of the Heysel Stadium in Brussels collapsed on May 29 1985 during a football match between Liverpool F.C. from England and Juventus FC from Italy.
		There were 27 arrests on suspicion of manslaughter – the only extraditable offence applicable to events at Heysel.
		An example of the new rules is that fans are now often required to become members of clubs in order to apply for game tickets, and closed-circuit cameras have been installed throughout stadiums.

		Taken at their most simple level, the events of Wednesday, 29 May, 1985, are as stark as they are horrifying: at the European Cup Final, the most prestigious occasion in the European football calendar, Liverpool supporters charged Juventus supporters, causing 39 deaths.
		This haphazard stewarding of rival fans proved to be crucial as the tragedy unfolded: as there was no way of knowing who was in the ground and where they were, it was impossible for police to weed out known troublemakers, and easy for pockets of hard core hooligans to assemble wherever they wished.

		Management efforts were implemented throughout Britain to prevent hooliganism activity both inside and outside the stadiums as rival groups of fans were routinely escorted by police both to and from train stations and stadiums.
		The ends of soccer stadiums fostered the development of a sense of ‘kinship' amongst the hooligans.
		And although over time, management measures have reduced in-stadium incidences of this illness, negative side-effects of the measures led to, by 1986, the presence of a super-strain of the original hooligan figure of the early 1960s - a much more covert, rooted, organized, and powerful menace to management than its predecessor.

		Built in the 1920’s, the Heysel Stadium had been condemned many years before for not living up to modern standards of security and design.
		The tragedy was caused partly by the miserable state of the stadium and partly by the bad decisions made by the stadium’s management, and partly by the outspoken animosity between two hooligan groups.
		The management at Heysel made a fatal decision to create a so-called neutral area in between the two groups.

		The occasion was the European Cup Final of 1985, held at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, a venue that was utterly unsafe and unfit to host such an event.
