	Stadium Summary
		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.
		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.

	Political Economy of Football
		Football is too big a business, and too culturally important, for a regulatory state like the EU to stay out of its affairs.
		Football clubs are a business like any other, rather than community institutions: 'G-14 clubs are businesses and operate in the same competitive market environment as any other business.' G-14 welcomes EU involvement in issues impacting on football as a business, although they are in a sulk about the taxes they have to pay in Brussels.
		Football financier Keith Harris, who is chairman of brokers Seymour Pierce, worked out a scheme whereby shareholders would be offered the chance to invest now in return for shares or cash in six years' time.

	The ten best stadiums around the globe - Irankicks Football Talk
		Football is not, as someone once said, more important than life or death, but on occasion it transcends mere sport.
		The design of the stadium amplifies the noise across the pitch, and the energy and volubility of the masses creates an atmosphere for which the word "intimidating" is wholly inadequate.
		But progress cannot be stopped and when the venue opens its doors to football again, a phoenix rising over twice as high out of the ashes as that which stood before, the country is promised a national stadium to be proud of.

	ESPN.com: GEN - American football, Samoan style
		But if you want to find this cradle of football, you'll need a globe and a good eye, because Tutuila, the population center of America Samoa, is a 54-square-mile volcanic island in the South Pacific, more than 4,500 miles from the U.S. mainland and 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii.
		Yet an increasing number of college football programs are recruiting the island, plucking players from its six high school teams and placing them directly onto their squads or at junior colleges.
		Football was barely a blip anywhere on the planet when the United States annexed most of what would become American Samoa in 1900.

		The average normal capacity of MLS stadiums is 60,000, and the league is drawing an average of 13,650 fans this season.
		With their own stadiums, MLS teams would control all aspects of the facilities' operations, and they would be able to keep all the money from concessions, parking and corporate sponsorship — revenue streams some MLS teams now have to share with the owners of their stadiums.

	British Stadiums - 15 Largest Countdown! - SkyscraperCity
		Also, even if those problems were sorted, two of the best stadiums (Twickenham and Murrayfield) couldn't be used because they are owned by rugby associations who don't generally allow football at their stadiums - ridiculous as that is. The English bid for the 2006 World Cup, for example, didn't include Twickenham.
		As football was invented in Britain, Britain should have the world cup at least every 30 years imo.
		It's interesting to see that a lot of stadiums look to have been expanded over the years and although its not noticable on the inside, you can clearly see it on the outside, which gives a feeling of tradition and history to it, more so than a brand new stadium.
