Here is the topic dedicated to the stadiums that you have seen at cinema (in famous films) or at television.

We can indicate the following information in this form:
Film's title (with state and year).
Stadium's name (with city and state)

We can use this topic also to ask information about a stadium that we have seen in a particular film!

- FRA:
Voilà un thème dedièe a les stades du cinema et de la television!

So, Good vision!

Here is the first:

- Goal! The Dream Begins (USA - 2005)

- Newcastle (St. James Park - UK)

In this film there are other stadiums, both english and californian; but it isn't simple recognize them!

Those Glory, Glory Days.
84, Charing Cross Road.

TV:

Loads, but most recently, main location for Footballers Wives.

West Ham United's Upton Park(Boleyn Ground), London -

Green Street

A big curiosity for me, would be whether the Hackensack Bulls, as in 'Brewster's Millions' still played at that baseball field with the railroad through the outfield, and when the train was a coming, play would have to stop.

Goal! 2 The Impossible dream
Santiago Bernabeu

Wow, so there are many stadiums that are stars!!! :happy:

I have seen Transformers (USA - 2007), time ago ...
in a scene there is a baseball's stadium attacked by fire's globules.
Do you Know the name of this stadium and where it is?

Maybe one to top the lot. 'The Arsenal stadium mystery' from 1939.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arsenal_Stadium_Mystery

There can't be too many films out there which include the name of the stadium in the title?

The Natural (USA - 1984)

Buffalo War Memorial Stadium (Buffalo NY, USA)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Memorial_Stadium_(Buffalo)

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles CA, USA.

A big curiosity for me, would be whether the Hackensack Bulls, as in 'Brewster's Millions' still played at that baseball field with the railroad through the outfield, and when the train was a coming, play would have to stop.

There is no such team, it was made up for the movie.

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles CA, USA.

Thank you eMKay! :okay:


Going on, there is also:

- There's only one Jimmy Grimble (UK - 2000)

- Manchester (Maine Road Stadium - UK)

Flims that had MSG in it.

He Got Game
Finding Forrester
Mr. Deeds
Godzilla (NY version)

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles CA, USA.
haha..when i seen that video..i cried out..oh no! dodger stadium!!!

hopefully that gem of a park is never destroyed..especially like that! :P

lol, I did the exact same thing

I believe that in this theme we can consider also stadiums in tv-spots or in music videoclips.

So, for example, the "Let's get loud" video of Jennifer Lopez show us the great Rose Bowl in Pasadena. It would be during the 1999 Women's World Cup Final (soccer) that also is the most-attended women's sports event in history!

It's OK for a stadium named Rose Bowl! :)

Yikes, pick a well known stadium in the US and chances are there has been a movie scene filmed there.

Rudy - Notre Dame Stadium, University of Notre Dame

Bad News Bears II - Houston Astrodome

The Naked Gun - Dodger Stadium

The movie Major League has an interesting twist in the stadium they used. It was a movie about the Cleveland Indians baseball team, but instead of filming in Cleveland, the ballpark used was the old Miwaukee County Stadium.

Naked Gun was actually filmed at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

A scene from a TV serial (near enough a movie) called Second Coming was also filmed at Maine Road.

Naked Gun was actually filmed at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

Incorrect. The team playing was the Angels, but the stadium used was Dodger Stadium. http://imdb.com/title/tt0095705/locations

Friday Night lights (great movie).-
ASTRODOME

TEXAS STADIUM
ORANGE BOWL

So which stadium was the one out of Brewster's Millions? The one where the freight train chugs through the outfield.

There are mountains in the far distance, so it probably ain't New Jersey, maybe somewhere in LA.

What was the golf course used in Caddyshack?

What was the racetrack used mainly in Let it Ride?

FNL also features Ratliff Stadium of course ;) Not as well known, but definitely a great stadium. In the original book, the state championship final was actually played at Memorial Stadium in Austin (before it was called Darrell K. Royal)

- ROLLERBALL: Munich Olympic Stadium.

What was the golf course used in Caddyshack?

What was the racetrack used mainly in Let it Ride?

Hi Bob,
I've searched on the web, out of curiosity: the golf course in Caddyshack is in Davie, Florida, USA. :banana:
For the other question about the racetrack, sorry :ohno:
^^

Fantastic, if I get over there I will make the pilgrimage. Possibly play through the greenskeepers hut and go for a swim in the club's pool. It would be good to play a round with Rodney Dangerfield, but I believe he popped his clogs recently.

Bummer about the racetrack, I know the one used in Seabiscuit is that track just north of San Diego on the main drag you take to get to Tijuana from LA. Very distinctive architectural style that is noticable from the road.

What about the stadium used in Victory/Escape to Victory. The soccer film set in wartime Paris with Sly Stallone as the goalie/escape artist?

Found the Victory stadium, it's actually in Budapest. MTK stadium.

Yes, I too think it's so: the old MTK Stadium (or Stadion Hidegkuti Nándor) is the stadium in Escape to victory.

Even if there are sources that say that the movie stadium was just Colombes Stadium in Paris.
Maybe, comparing old photos with the scenes in the film, we could be more sure!

One of the episodes of McGyver features GM Dome in Vancouver, at least I think it´s that one. In this case it was used as a baseball arena. Several sequences give rather good picture of the interiors of the arena.

There was an episode of Minder, where Terry McCann(aka, Dennis Waterman) was at a Chelsea match, played at Stamford Bridge circa 1980.

Also had a scene where he was entering the ground and the ticket prices were advertised on the entrance gates. 'Adults 1 pound'.

What is it now, something like 50. Which is criminal 'inflation'.

*STAPLES Center (Los Angeles, USA) - Entourage, where the guys go see the LAkERS and a U2 Concert.

*Dodgers Stadium (Los Angeles, USA) - Dodger Stadium was the site of a brief moment in the 1971 movie, "Omega Man," in which Charlton Heston was rescued by Rosalind Cash.

*2003 movie The Core, the Space Shuttle makes a crash landing in Los Angeles after flying over Dodger Stadium during a game.

*2006 Superman Returns movie, was filmed at Dodger Stadium, where he rescues the plane in mid- field.

*Transformers, an empty Dodger Stadium is depicted being hit by one of the Autobot's protoforms crashing through the upper deck and landing in the outfield.

*A scene from the 2007 movie Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was also shot at Dodger Stadium

*A Baby Ruth TV commercial seen in the summer of 2007 and in the post-season tournament, in which 50,000 fans are humming "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" due to their mouths being full of the candy bar, was shot in Dodger Stadium.

*The Rose Bowl (Los Angeles, USA) Pasadena-
On June 18, 1988 Depeche Mode played their last concert of the Music for the Masses tour at the sold-out Rose Bowl in front of 80,000+ people. The concert was recorded and filmed for the album and documentary movie 101 which was released in 1989.

*Angel Stadium (Anaheim, USA) - is used in the Disney Film Angels in the Outfield

*L.A. Sports Arena (Los Angeles, USA) - Ali with Will Smith and Rocky were partially filmed at the former home of the CLippers.

*California Speedway (Los Angeles, USA) Fontana, Thousands of car commercials and the Lindsay Lohan flick called Herbie.

Off the top of my head:

Two Minute Warning - Coliseum, LA
The Replacements - M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore


Also, in my trivia section:

In an episode of Porridge, an inmate who escapes follows instructions to find the buried proceeds of his earlier robbery. The spot is under the centre circle at Elland Road, Leeds. The episode ends with the gag that just as he finds the box and unearths it late one night, the floodlights are switched on and he's re-arrested.

Angels in the Outfield (1951)

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m151/Smoker_03/forbes9.jpg

Forbes Field was built in 4 months in 1909. \
Pittsburgh Pirates, USA.

Wonderful postcard this one of Pittsburgh's ballpark.

I think 4 months it's a record-time, in spite of the building's methods of the 1909. Nowadays, built a stadium takes at least 2 or 3 years.

What's up? It's Christmas time: there are holidays to see stadiums in the movies :cheers:

So you can see the old version of Olympia Stadion in Berlin in The Quiller Memorandum (UK - 1966)

Goal! 2 The Impossible dream
Santiago Bernabeu
I was just about to add that one! Watched the movie today. :)

(Showing my age, here!)

I guess I must have always had an interest in stadiums from a young age because I always remember the scene in the titles of 'Mork & Mindy' in the stadium, where Mork (Robin Williams) is stood on the crossbar of the goal.

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k111/EADGBEPics/morkandmindy.jpg?t=1213425677

Having found it on YouTube, it shows less of the stands than I remember, so I'm going to open this question to the forum: Do you know which stadium it is? Can you attempt a guess from the little visual information shown?

According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mork_%26_Mindy), the series was set in Boulder, Colorado, but given that it was probably filmed in or around Hollywood, perhaps a venue in California is likely.

Anyone prepared to hazard a guess?

nope, looks to have been shot on location in Boulder. Its Folsom Field at the University of Colorado.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1394/727634307_10c0e9a518_o.jpg

When's the movie coming out?

is the guy above an ape?

No, Robin Williams is just very hairy, especially back then lol.

It was definitely shot in Boulder at the University of Colorado. Nanu nanu

I'm sure there was a thread about this once but I've looked and can't find it.

Anyway, I've just watched 28 Weeks Later (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0463854/) and the climax involves a rendezvous at "Wembley Stadium".

Anyway, when it gets to that point, the shape and layout of the tiers clearly show that the location was the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.

I found this gif on the web to show how they took a picture of a pristine Millennium Stadium and photoshopped it up to match the colours and seat pattern of Wembley - complete with a pitch that looks like it's been neglected for - well 28 weeks.

Over to you, film/stadium afficionados!

i know that baseball movies never seem to want to use the right stadiums. For example, the movie Angels in the Outfield used the Oakland Coliseum for the action but uses Anaheim Stadium in exterior shots. This happens in a ton of movies but this came to my mind first.

There's a little English film called "Purely Belter" that features both St James' Park and The Sunderland Stadium of Light.

Lots of stadiums, including, St James' Park, used in "Goal!", obviously.

Telstra Dome used in an awful Nic Cage movie the title of which escapes me (did a big bike jump in it). Bad. Nice stadium though - I can see it from my window right now.

Jimmy Grimble used Maine Road, I remember that much.

In the movie "The Rock" a missile with a chemical warhead flies over Candlestick in SF.


The Waterboy had the final "Bourbon Bowl" filmed at the Citrus Bowl.

And dont forget Major League 2, which was filmed at Camden Yards

In The Rock, they say the missle is headed towards Oakland and the radar shows the same thing, even though they used Candlestick instead of the Oakland Coliseum.

Just some fun facts

Naked Gun, hilarious, was filmed at Dodger Stadium. Queen Elizabeth II is attending a California Angels game on her visit to the US. Lt. Frank Drebin is assigned to protect her while avoiding his own unit assigned to arrest him. Drebin goes undercover as the umpire. He finds out just in time that Reggie Jackson had been programmed to assassinate the Queen and he saves her life.

http://bp2.blogger.com/_JuvL85jXN5g/Rv1j8TS2_lI/AAAAAAAAAEw/eDR2HesK_Yw/s320/ngun.jpg

I can't find other pics.

'The Last Boy Scout' and 'Heaven can wait' use the LA Coliseum.

'The Might Ducks 2' used Arrowhead Pond or whatever its called now.

'Any Given Sunday' use the Orange Bowl, Dolphins Stadium (said to be in New York) and Texas Stadium.

'Friday Night Lights' used the Astro Dome.

'The Program' used William Brice Stadium.

'Sudden Death' a Van Damme movie is set in the Mellon Arena.

The Replacements was filmed at then PSINET Stadium (now known as M&T Bank Stadium) in Baltimore, home of the Ravens. However, in the movie, the setting was Washington D.C.

ANOTHER 70's action/suspense movie (below). This one filmed at Miami's, famous, Orange Bowl. The movie was about a terrorist plot set to happen during Super Bowl X.

http://markmaynard.com/media/Black%20Sunday-724990.jpg

Classic football film and fan favourite, 'Escape to Victory' with Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone.
The Nazi Germany v the Allies match was supposed to be at Colombes stadium in Paris but it was actually filmed
at MTK stadium in Budapest. It's pretty much still the same as the movie but more deteriorated. The gate they go
through at the end is still there but has been replaced with something less ornate.

The Natural (1984) a movie about a fictitious baseball team was filmed in War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo, NY. All High Stadium (Also in Buffalo) was used to simulate Wrigley Field.

All High Stadium with a little Hollywood magic (it never had an upper deck)

...

Over to you, film/stadium afficionados!

Yes, there was (December or January it's the period) ...
I try to check ... but that thread no longer exists ... ,
in my opinion, has been cancelled as many others :ohno:

The Oval Sports Centre of Bebington, Merseyside, England, UK, filling in for Colombes Stadium, Paris, 1924 in CHARIOTS OF FIRE.

I believe the Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham field for FORREST GUMP.

The first ROLLERBALL was filmed in the both the Olympic-Basketball Hall and Olympic Velodrome of Munich.

The movie "Dirty Harry" with Clint Eastwood -which generated several sequels- had a crucial scene filmed at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.

Not forgetting the scene at Yankee Stadium from 'Die Hard with a Vengeance' where Samuel L. Jackson didn't get shot* by a sniper.

*I know it may be a spoiler, but surely everyone's seen this by now! :-)

The movie SELENA with JLo filmed the her last concert in the Alamodome in San Antonio. TX, but it really was in Astrodome, Houston, TX.

In the seventies, there was a film called Omega Man with Charlton Heston (which is an earlier version of I am Legend).
there's a scene where he is going to be killed by the "brotherhood" (vampires in the movie I am Legend) in the Coliseum of Los Angeles but then he is rescued by some humans.

Texas Stadium

Any Given Sunday
Used as the Home Stadium for the Dallas Knights v the Miami Sharks

Invincible
Texas Stadium shot

TV series Friday Night Lights
Championship games were accurately played in Texas Stadium, unlike in the movie where the game is played in the Astrodome, not Texas Stadium, which soured a bunch of people close to the sotry.

Which was the stadium used for Baltimore's in The Sum of All Fears?

St. James' Park in 'Goal!'
Bernabeu in Goal II

Some stadium in USA in Anger Management, don't know which one

Which was the stadium used for Baltimore's in The Sum of All Fears?

I believe it was Montreal's Olympic Stadium.

Love how you can clearly see an open-air stadium in the fly-over, but it's obviously a dome inside.

There's a scene in 'When Harry Met Sally' where the guys go to a game at Giants Stadium. Couldn't find a picture...

Wrigley Field (Chicago) and Fenway Park (Boston) have been in quite a few movies.

In "Reservation Road" Mark Ruffalo's character watch a game in Fenway Park.
Also in 1988 The movie "Field of Dreams" starring Kevin Costner (left) and James Earl Jones featured footage shot at Fenway Park.

"Heeeeeeeey batter bater batter, Saaawiiiiiiiiiing batter":hilarious

a good story from curb your enthusiasm regarding dodger stadium.
from imdb.com:
In 2003 a man named Juan Catalan was arrested for a murder in Los Angeles. He repeatedly professed his innocence and asked to take a lie detector test, a request that the police denied. He also had an alibi: he swore that at the time of the murder he was at Dodger Stadium with his little girl, watching the Dodgers get creamed by the Braves, but his lawyer was unable to find him in any of the Dodger Vision or FOX footage he subpoenaed. However, he discovered that there was another source of crowd footage: "Curb Your Enthusiasm" had filmed at Dodger Stadium that night. Although Catalan did not make the final cut of the show, his lawyer was able to find him and his daughter in the outtakes, and determined from the timestamps on the tapes that Catalan could not have been the killer. When told that his show had released a wrongfully accused man from prison and a trial that could have led to the death penalty, Larry David commented, "I tell people that I've now done one decent thing in my life, albeit inadvertently."

There's a videoclips of Lumidee (DANCE, the remake of I wanna dance with somebody) inside the compilation of World Cup FIFA 2006. In this video we can see a stadium ... Do you know the name of this stadium? I'm sure it's an asian stadium ... but where?

MSG (Space Jam)

All time classic hockey Movie:

Slapshot:

Centers around a fictitious minor league hockey team called the Chiefs from Charlestown (PA? does it ever really say?).

The movie is losely based on the the experiences of players on the Johnstown Jets, of Johnstown, PA and the old North American Hockey League. The movie was filmed at the Cambria County War Memorial Stadium (It was even refered to as the "War Memorial" in the movie).

Friends of mine in highschool have played games there, and said it was a shithole. But recently it has undergone extensive renovations and now hosts the Johnstown Cheifs of the ECHL.

The Arsenal stadium mystery (1939)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arsenal-Stadium-Mystery-Leslie-Banks/dp/B000057XJH

The Club, 1980 on Australian football

was filmed mainly at Victoria Park in Abbotsford(inner Melbourne suburb), the former home of Collingwood Football Club and now a home to heroin addicts. Not a bad film really. It was fictional of course, because Collingwood were perenial losers then and still are 30 years later.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080546/

There was a rugby league film, The Final Winter. Based on defunct team, Newtown(inner Sydney). Filmed on their old home ground. That was a pretty good film too.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0938303/

There is an old classic film, starring Richard Harris. This Sporting Life, based on the turbulent life of an English rugby league player in one of those dark, depressing northern English towns in the early 1960's. I think the town is Wakefield in Yorkshire.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057578/

Wasn't old Tom Seleck in a baseball film and he actually played in the match with the Detroit Tigers. I am sure I saw it on the news. Mr. Baseball I think it was called.

Goldfinger, the 1964 had a scene at Stoke Park Golf Club in England. The bit where the Japanese butler spun his top hat at 007 and lobbed the head of one of the statues.

The Song Remains the Same, the 1976 Led Zep film was filmed at Madison Square Garden in Manhatten.

Almost Famous, the 2000 film about a fictional 1973 rock band was filmed at San Diego Sports Arena for one of the scenes.

The Game of their Lives, the fictional story of an American soccer team pulled of the streets in America that managed to beat England in 1950 World Cup in Brazil.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0354595/

It was filmed in Belo Horizonte, a host stadium from the World Cup of 1950. The BBC radio announcer in the film is the South American correspondant for Australia's SBS TV on soccer. Nice look with the slicked back hair.

I found it disappointing - and I mean really disappointing - that the opening scene of Steven Spielberg's Munich shows a Stadium that has nothing at all to do with the iconic and world famous Munich Olympic stadium. I never understood why Spielberg made this, it was not necessary to show any stadium at all, so if you can't show the original one for any reason, then better don't show anyone.

I watched the movie in a Munich cinema and realised that the whole audience was disappointed about this.


Still, I never found out what stadium they used as replacement venue. Maybe anyone here recognized it when watching this movie? Or maybe someone has the DVD at home ;-) ?

Surprised no-one mentioned 'The Blues Brothers'. It was listed as Elwood Blues' address on his license renewal, so the cops and Illinois Nazis paid a visit and to their disapointment, Elwood was not in.

The Naked Gun was filmed at Dodger's Stadium, in L.A. from memory, even though the Angels were the home team. I guess the movie was full of mistakes so it was part of the joke.

That stuff happens all the time in movies. It was probably cheaper to film there.

Little Big League featured the Metrodome.
Old School has a scene in the LA Coliseum.

While zapping during commercials yesterday evening I saw a minute of Man of the House, a 2005 movie starring Tommy Lee Jones as a Texas Ranger. He was wearing an orange Longhorns jacket, after some IMDB research I discovered the movie was about Texas Longhorns cheerleaders and parts of the movie were shot in the DKR Texas Memorial Stadium.

Also in Little Big League isn't there a scene at Yankee Stadium and Fenway? or atleast they are in the movie, whether they shot it specifically for the movie or not, it could just be stock footage of a flyover of either stadium....

and Celtic Pride was the last film shot in the old Boston Garden..

Anger Management was also filmed at Yankee Stadium.

The season finale of Team Spirit: de serie was shot at Jan Breydelstadion (cap. 29,042) in Brugge (Bruges), Belgium, the stadium where I support my home team Club Brugge (div.1) every 2 weeks. Neighbour and local rival Cercle Brugge (div.1) also plays there, and the stadium hosted 4 matches (including a quarter final between France and Spain) during Euro 2000.

In an episode of CSI New York, they dig up a body in the end zone of Giants Stadium (scene was actually filmed at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum).

The movie Grand Prix (1966) had scenes from :- Brands Hatch (England), Monza (Italy), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Charade Circuit (France), Circuit de Monaco (Monaco), Riverside Raceway (California, USA), Watkins Glen (New York, USA) and Zandvoort in Holland.

Texas Stadium was also featured in the intro to the show Dallas.

what about the movie with Charlie Sheen and Chris Tucker sneaking around LA Coliseum. Money Talks?

In, The Wiz I definitely recognize the Yankee Stadium Frieze.

Shea Stadium: "Men in Black"

They also filmed Billy Crystals movie "61*" in Tiger Stadium. It was made to look like the old Yankee Stadium.


61* - The Movie

In the summer of 2000, the HBO movie 61* was filmed in Tiger Stadium. To make the field appear to be Yankee Stadium, the seats were painted green and a third deck and skyline of the Bronx were added through the use of CG. In the credit roll at the end of the film, Yankee Stadium is listed as a character played by Tiger Stadium. Coincidently, it was at Tiger Stadium that Roger Maris hit his first home run of his record-breaking 1961 season. The paint used to change the colors of the seat to green was a paint that could wash off, and part of the deal was that the seats would be returned to the original state, even though their was no use for them anymore.

In 'Goal 3! Taking on the World', the stadiums that were filmed were various football stadiums in Germany (World cup 2006)

A thought just came across my mind.
There a plenty of documentaries on Discovery Channel on how it is like working on a oil tanker, a cruise ship, an airport and so on.

Has there ever been a documentary on how life is in a arena/stadium? That would be pretty interesting.

there was a programme on detonating a stadium in america on channel 5 about 5-6 years ago,very interesting,think it was the seattle dome(?) and it had to be detonated in stages so the whole building didnt collapse at once,thus causing damage to surrounding buildings.

Best-film about george best was filmed at st helens ground,because it looked like old trafford in the 60's(it didnt but it had terraces with red barriers!)

charlie bubbles(albert finney) filmed at old trafford in the new private boxes.

the lovers(richard beckinsale) filmed at both old traffords in the 1970's.

All time classic hockey Movie:

Slapshot:

Centers around a fictitious minor league hockey team called the Chiefs from Charlestown (PA? does it ever really say?).

The movie is losely based on the the experiences of players on the Johnstown Jets, of Johnstown, PA and the old North American Hockey League. The movie was filmed at the Cambria County War Memorial Stadium (It was even refered to as the "War Memorial" in the movie).

Friends of mine in highschool have played games there, and said it was a shithole. But recently it has undergone extensive renovations and now hosts the Johnstown Cheifs of the ECHL.

I was thinking more on how it is to work in the stadium. Not blowing it up. :)

I'm not sure if it was shown elsewhere but there was a program on Discovery Channel once about the construction and day to day operation of Air Canada Centre here in Toronto. There was another episode I remember watching on Discovery (or possibly National Geographic) about the construction of various football stadiums in Europe and how the design of stands evolved since the early 20th century in order to accommodate fans who would jump around and celebrate goals rather than just sit idly and clap like they did in the old days.

Now we're talking! :)

I think it was the one that followed the construction of Valencias new stadium.

Other featured stadiums where Allianz Arena in Munich, Millennium Stadium in Cardiff (im not sure about this one) and Hillborough in Sheffield.

Rollerball was shot is Munchen Olympic Stadium.

The White City stadium featured in Man in a Suitcase episode Man from the Dead. it has extensive use culminating in the hero being beaten up in the centre of the pitch.

The Kings speach, Old Wembly I think?

Although you are correct in saying the actual Kings Speech took place at Wembley, the stadium shots in the film are from Elland Road in Leeds, and Odsal Stadium in Bradford.

"El Secreto de sus Ojos", Oscar-winning film, he used the football stadium Tomas A. Duco in Argentina

the old Wembley had long been demolished by the time the Kings Speech was made

jesus, his stuttering must have been worse than I thought.

I just saw PGE Park (now Jeld Wen Stadium) as a baseball stadium in an episode of the show Leverage

I have 2 movies in mind :

The express : Cleveland brown's stadium I think...
Escape to victory (with Stallone, Pelé, Bobby Moore, Wark, Van Himst, Ardiles... all true footballers except Stallone) : Colombes (France)

The pre-1968 Madison Square Garden is featured in the original Manchurian Candidate.
