Quoted from rancido


Stadium:
An athletic or sports ground with tiers of seats for spectators.

Herve Josse, you really are pedantic!!!


For me, personally, a stadium is an arena where the stands have a bigger footprint than the pitch.  For example, Wembley, Old Trafford, Anfield.

Blundell Park is more of a ground.

Maybe for you but I was quoting a dictionary description of a stadium.

Do you not think the stands at BP have a bigger footprint than the pitch .I would say in square metreage the 4 stands would have more

Is it a ‘message board’ or is it a ‘forum’ ? 😉
