Poll question: Coolest World Cup Arena
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 08:12 PM by Kellanved
Yes, the FIFA (soccer) world cup.






Munich: The whole outer shell is made from air cushions that act as a giant screen. Quite a light show. Will it be able to overshadow the famed Munich Olympic Stadium?




Gelsenkirchen: It prides itself as having the most modern arena anywhere. Several kilometers of cooled pipes to transport beer to the fans cry "Cool" with a capital 'C'.



Dortmund: It is big, it has atmosphere. Plus mentioning Gelsenkirchen but not Dortmund would be a crime.


Olympic Stadium Berlin: Well, history can be chilling. And chilling means cool, doesn't it? Plus Owens won his Gold medal there.


Leipzig: They lost the Olympic bid, but it didn't slow them down. And it used to be one of the biggest Arenas in the world.



Kaiserslautern: It is the community, stupid. A 100,000 citizen town filling up a 50,000 seat stadium each week.

3. "Nichts ist doofer als Hannover"

That would be the "other" section.

:evilgrin:


Actually, there are 12 stadia; my initial post included all of them, but it was eaten by a DU bug.
I then decided to do a smaller poll (stupid 10 slot limit).
