	Hillsborough (stadium) - Definition, explanation
		Hillsborough is the only football ground to be mentioned in Nikolaus Pevsner's Buildings of England due to this stand.
		In 1966, the stadium was selected as one of the venues for the Football World Cup, hosting first round matches involving West Germany, Uruguay, Argentina, Switzerland, and Spain, as well as a quarterfinal in which West Germany beat Uruguay 4-0.
		In 1996, Hillsborough was host to several fixtures at the Euro 96 competition and in particular was host to the Danish squad.

		The 10th anniversary of the Hillsborough Stadium disaster, which claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool football fans, has been marked with a special memorial service at Liverpool's Anfield ground.

		Some parents of the Hillsborough victims continue a public campaign which seems aimed at seeking convictions for those senior police officers in charge on the day who, it is alleged, ignored available video evidence that the pen where most of the deaths occurred was becoming dangerously overcrowded some time before the tragedy took place.
		Even in the so-called 'enlightened' post-Hillsborough times for stadium design and for the construction of new stadia no English or Scottish clubs have actually come forward with proposals to share facilities in a manner which is much more common on the continent, where stadia are often owned, not by the clubs, but by local authorities.
		This was, naturally, frowned upon by the hardy Lancastrians who had gone 'down' for the Cup, and when the Final moved to a new stadium at Wembley in 1923 supporters from outside the metropolis remained ambivalent towards the attractions of a London final.

		Hicks said he and other Hillsborough victims would get in touch with those affected by the Ellis Park tragedy to express their condolences.

	Hillsborough County Government Online - Communications - News
		Hillsborough County taxpayers will come out on the winning side of a collaborative effort between Hillsborough County government, the City of Tampa and the Tampa Sports Authority that intends to use the savings generated by a bond refinancing and push it back into the local economy by way of greater Community Investment Tax (CIT) distribution.
		With respect to the CIT Stadium Bonds, the refinancing will decrease annual debt service by about $625,000, resulting in total debt service savings over the life of the bonds of about $13 million.
		This money will be used to fund capital improvements to the Stadium, resulting in an indirect benefit to the County because of its commitment to fund two-thirds of operating shortfalls at the Stadium.

	Post Comment
		The stadium control room had closed-circuit cameras, and police presence on the field was heavy...but the police.
		There were a few legal victories for them, but the prevailing stink of misplaced blame lingers over the people whose lives were shattered by Hillsborough: the label of hooliganism, a charge born of classism, politics, and sensationalism, and a betrayal of innocent people by those whose job it was to protect them.
		There have been, as the MSN article notes, reforms in how soccer matches are run in Britain, and an official report after Hillsborough did cite "failure of police control" as the primary cause of the deaths, but that's little consolation to the families of the dead, and the survivors who still live with the nightmares.

		Being too young to remember and not from the UK I only heard from the Hillsborough disaster when there were minutes of silence or commemoration ceremonys before EPL matches but didn't have a clue what really happened on this fateful day.
		The Day of the Hillsborough Disaster is a poignant, provocative, and, at times, heart wrenching account of the day 96 Liverpool fans died on the Leppings Lane Terrace at Hillsborough.
		For anyone wanting an "as it happens" account of the events at Hillsborough - reading the experiences of bereaved parents, survivors, police, medical staff, and TV sports presenters - this is a must.
