	The Stadia
		The Stadia is a method of measuring distances rapidly with a telescope (usually on an engineer's transit or an alidade) and a graduated rod.
		When the telescope is focused on the rod, the distance s intercepted on the vertically-held rod between two stadia hairs seen in the eyepiece gives the distance D as D = ks, where k, the stadia constant is often made to be 100.
		Stadia can give results correct to about 1 ft under the best conditions, which is often sufficient, and can also serve as a check on more precise measurements.

	Greek Stadia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Greek stadia has been proved to have been a specific length but what is not commonly known is the relationship between the length of the Stadia and geodetic properties.
		The Stadia also shares mathematical relationships with Egyptian measures showing that the underlying knowledge sustaining this system came from Egypt as it would be foolish to think the Egyptians incorporated Greek ideas into their extremely ancient methods of calculation.
		This length is also related to the Egyptian length known as the Remen of which 500 are to be found in the Greek Stadia.

	Fact Sheet 2: Sir Norman Chester Centre for Football Research: University of Leicester
		Simon Inglis, a writer and researcher on football stadia, has argued that many of the major stadia in the world at present still have terracing and it is the behaviour, management and control of spectators on terracing which are crucial to explaining tragedies like Heysel and Hillsborough.
		But football stadia now can also act as a strong lure for international business in their new role as a focus for regional regeneration, business development and 'place marketing' (Williams, 1996).
		Recent struggles in England over the siting of stadia suggest that the 'dependent city' syndrome of the USA (Euchner, 1993), where cities are desperate to keep or attract sports franchises, may soon become a feature, too, of the British landscape.

	All the major Greek football stadia
		Most of the major Greek football stadia were built nearly half a century ago and their status was almost tragic until 2000.
		A project to partly modernize all 1st Division stadia was carried out at that time by the League (EPAE), but it was not until 2004 that the picture really changed.
		The Olympics were the cause for new stadia to be built and others totally upgraded.

	Appendix 8.2 - International research on economic impact of sports stadia and related investments
		The financial accounts of 15 stadia were examined in detail and estimates of their public subsidies were calculated.
		In the case of five stadia it was considered that they would probably never recover their costs of construction but were earning enough in rents and other revenues to cover their operating costs.
		Of the 10 stadia for which financial accounts were available 6 returned an operating profit in at least 80 per cent of the years surveyed.

	Stadia - Concert Sound Quality as a Permanent Fixture
		This daunting task was first placed in the hands of Gary White, an acoustical and sound system consultant for the firm of Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon and Williams of Dallas, Texas.
		Although he confronted similar acoustic problems and budget restraints at Tampa Bay, he nevertheless wanted to find a way to boost power and improve fidelity, particularly at the far end of the stadium, a throw of over 700ft.
		So today, for example, if Celine Dion comes to the Tampa stadium, her touring system will not be fundamentally better than the one over the scoreboard.
