I was quite impressed by Paris' list of stadiums, actually - especially since it doesn't have any major football teams other than PSG.Race tracks generally don't count as stadiums. I thought Paris would have more facilities, especially indoor halls
Despite a rather unnecessary interlude, when debate was derailed by an argument about comparative sports attendances in the US and Europe, I think the thread has already got somewhere!Melbourne + Suburbs = Aprx. 1,027,200
Melbourne (as in, just Melbourne) = 906,247

I don't think this thread is getting anywhere. Everyone is unsure what the OP meant by Stadium Capital of the Word.
Spain has numerous Bullfighting Arenas......that Spain has more stadiums than the UK, France, and Italy.
