rantanamo: I completely agree on all points. I also like the fact that College teams usually take more risks than NFL teams. NCAA teams are more likely to go for it on a 4th and 1 whereas an NFL team are more likely to send out the punt-unit, which makes NCAA more enjoyable. Also the fact that college football is less commercial (although with all the bowls and tv contracts etc, its heading ways I think none of us are content with) than NFL.

Great pictures posted by everybody, keep 'em coming :D

wrong 138,000 went to watch a baseball match. I cant remember who.
It's a bit ironic that the record for the largest attendance for a baseball match is held by the MCG.

The MCG's highest ever attendance was for some non-sporting event though.


And up until 1990, the MCG was a lot smaller than it is now and had no roof (hence the construction of the huge light towers). Melbourne also had the 75000 capacity Waverley Park which was meant to be the largest in the world but was never built to its original plans (up until its demolition it had a single tier except for a small section but the second tier was meant to extend around the station). The stadium died because there was little public transport since a proposed tram line never got built.

Well Warrington really only has 3 sports teams at pro level.

Warrington Wolves RLFC - Halliwell Jones Stadium




Capacity of just over 14,000 (mixture of standing and seating) opened in 2004.

Warrington Town AFC - Cantilever Park


They are a lower league football club, the ground might have possibly changed a tiny bit since this photo was taken but with them being a lower league team I bet it hasn't.

Victoria Park Arena

This is a small athletics stadium within Victoria Park that has one small stand.



Warrington Wizards RLFC

They play in LHF Healthplan National League 3, so 3 divisions below Warrington Wolves and there's no promotion from NL3 at the moment.

They play at the old ground of Warrington Wolves which was Wilderspool, along with the Wolves Academy teams at the moment. But the stadium will probably be knocked down and redeveloped (probably into housing) in the next few years.




Then there's recreational grounds all around the town but they're not interesting because there's no stands.
