Thats true, particularly for the larger South Asian cities like Dhaka, Mumbai or Karachi. There is also traffic in cities like Bangkok but they don't stay too long (at least in my experience) but in these cities traffic jams can last for hours!

Total seating capacity is 36,000. It is a football stadium in Motijheel area of the city. It used to be a smaller cricket stadium since construction in the 1950s but after massive renovation and expansion it was converted to a football stadium in March 2005.

Bangabandhu Stadium largest right now. Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium (also in Dhaka) is undergoing expansion, after that, it is gonna be the biggest. More cricket stadiums are expected to come up because 2011 Cricket World Cup will be held jointly by Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India & Pakistan.
