Athletic Stadiums

[Kuvvaci]

@NickRivers, is Estadio Olímpico de La Cartuja used often? Niether Sevilla nor Real Betis use it, so is the stadium generally empty?

[shacky]

These are probably our most important athletics stadiums..

Johannesburg Stadium



Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Rustenburg

It still has a track, but they're going to take it out.

North Carolina has three big athletics venues (20,000 +). Wallace Wade Stadium (33,000 in Durham), Aggie Stadium (25,000 in Greensboro), and Kidd Brewer Stadium (20,150 in Boone).

New Orleans has Tad Gormley Stadium (25,000).

I know California has a bunch, like Edwards Stadium of Cal, Drake Stadium of UCLA, and Hornet Stadium for Sac State.

Iowa has a big one in Des Moines.

Unfortunately, the look of this stadium is gonna be ruined when it gets converted into a stupid rectangular stadium. I like it the way it is and I didn't want the conversion to happen. I told you I was gonna hate it as a rectangular stadium.

Can't. It was renovated, the field was lowered, and stands were added to the bottom.

That is, the truth is that the stadium is empty and unused, a disappointment...

[Kuvvaci]

really???

it is one of the best stadiums in Europe.

So, Barcelona Olympic stadium is used for the sake of Espanol Club, right?

Espanyol is building a new stadium

So the Barcelona Olympic would stay empty?!?

[NickRivers]

I'm afraid that yes, it will remain empty…

Unfortunetly this is the best that Lithuania has :
Kaunas, Darius and Girenas stadium, built in 1925. 8739 seats

I think it is enough... You are a basketball nation

Olympic stadium of Mexico just needs modernization. It can be easily wonderful with a modern, artistic roof and surround.

Ohh please...The only important athletics stadium is Dinamo stadium,and next time look for newer pictures.
Having a track doesn't make it an athletics stadium,because those that you presented and "Emil Alexandrescu"(Poli Iasi) have a 6 lane track (except Ion Oblemenco,but it isn't used in that purpose),and a normal one must have at least 8 or 9.

Well, yeah we are very happy about our football team this year
But we are still a basketball nation indeed
and about the stadiums, we are building one in Vilnius now, but it will be 20000 seats only. And some Germany group wanna build a 18 k stadia in Kaunas. So, nothing special as usual here about football and stadiums
