I have played a few times in Barcelona, including the fantastic Olympic Stadium. It’s undoubtedly one of my favourite cities in terms of the people, arts, food, architecture and design.
I get a real buzz going into a stadium, a full house, the anticipation of how the game is going to pan out.
It’s the first time an exoskeleton has been controlled by brain activity and offered feedback to the patients. Doing a demonstration in a stadium is something very much outside our routine in robotics. It’s never been done before.

If you want to have a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium, then you can get one.
My aim as a frontman is always to try and shrink the venue, if you can, to turn that football stadium into the world’s smallest club. At least you have to try.
I had other interesting offers, but for me, it had to be a top club. When you look at Arsenal, with a fantastic manager, good environment, and never any bad press surrounding the club, they are playing attractive football and have a great stadium with great fans.
Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium.
Arsenal have the most amazing stadium, they have a style of play, they have a beautiful shirt – in every way I consider Arsenal as the ultimate football club.
My very best memory of Montreal was the moment inside the Olympic arena when I was waiting under the stadium and those majestic gates opened up. It was a whole other world.

In 1946, the year I was born, Yankee Stadium was only 23 years old. But from my perspective as a boy, it had been around forever. At age seven, I saw it for the first time. As I grew older and was allowed to navigate the city’s subway system on my own, I went to Sunday doubleheaders with friends on a regular basis.
I always dreamed of playing a night match on Arthur Ashe Stadium. It’s a dream come true for me.
I don’t have any use for the hatred in a football stadium.
The only thing that Celtic doesn’t have is the propaganda, which is the Premier League. In every other aspect of football, Celtic is a huge club: fan base, stadium and history. They have a fantastic history. What it doesn’t have is the opportunity to play in the Premier League.
My first U.S. Open main draw, it was a big stadium and I wasn’t really used to it.

To be frank, you can’t compare the atmosphere and the way people behaved in the Olympic Stadium with the game I watched the day after, the Community Shield.
I don’t want to get back into the pressure cooker of play-by-play and worry about travel. I don’t want to die in a stadium parking lot.
There are so many people, FIFA or whatever, that can do something against this. They should wake up and do it. If there is a racism, those people should be banned from the stadium forever. They should not even enter the stadium anymore. Never again. That’s the first thing they can do.
I think, as a fan, when you are sitting there in the stadium you want to be on the edge of your seat.
One of sports journalism’s great ironies is that covering an Olympics can be wildly unhealthy. NBC shows athletes in peak health performing on the ice and snow, but not the haggard reporters subsisting for three weeks on stadium starches, cheap beer, deadlines, and little sleep.
Yankee Stadium, and the Yankees are so famous for Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, all of those guys.
Kansas City might be the loudest stadium that I’ve played in.
Opening Day was a big thing. I came to a lot of Orioles games. I grew up a couple blocks from here, so I was always coming down to the stadium. I always made it down for Opening Day until I was a little bit older and I had ball. But when I was younger, I always missed school.
I’m not just selling out Yankee Stadium; I’m selling out stadiums in Mexico, in Argentina – with my bachata. I try to stay true to what I do.

When Basquiat was hanging out with Madonna and Fab Five Freddy, and all those worlds were colliding, people have to realize hip-hop and the arts were like this ’cause we both were outcasts: we wasn’t allowed inside the galleries or inside Yankee Stadium. We were writing in the street and making music.
I would like to fight in Brazil, but we can fight in Japan or even in the United States. But if it really is against Dan Henderson, I would like it to be in a soccer stadium in Brazil.
My high school was in the private school league, and we played all our games at the college stadium. It wasn’t like we filled it, but we got a good crowd.
We have great fans in Tampa, so whatever tickets aren’t sold to season-ticket holders, we’ll work very hard to make sure the stadium is always full and the fans will be there.
Nobody is accustomed to play in front of an empty stadium.
I can remember an Inter-Verona and we arrived at the stadium an hour and a half before kick-off and there were already 85,000 fans screaming our names. It sent shivers down your spine. I am proud of one thing and that is that I really gave all of my energy for those people.
It is always a good feeling to score the first goal in a new stadium.
In Spain, they go to the stadium and treat it like going to the theatre. In England, they go to support their team, to scream and shout, and do everything they can. I love that.
When you first come out of the box, you want to play the 300-capacity place, then it’s 1,600-capacity, then it’s an arena – so, do you want to be in a stadium now? The ego keeps telling you that it’s not enough.
During the 2011 World Cup, I was sitting at the Wankhede Stadium when India won.

It is something special when you play a final at home in your own stadium.
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can’t take that away from me.
I don’t like lifts and will walk up 20 flights of stairs if I have to. Crowded rooms make me uncomfortable, too, although I can sing to a stadium full of thousands of people no bother.
To be in the Champions League final is something you need to experience. To win it would obviously be the best experience ever. To be there, the build-up – with the media even, the stadium, travelling, our fans – it’s something very special.
As an England fan, you want to be involved in the big tournaments, especially when they are playing in your home stadium.

Lifting a major trophy in front of an empty stadium would be a very strange feeling. But then you’d rather do that than not play at all.
I try to imagine what it will be like to play for the Bulls. I don’t think I will be able to feel it before I step on the court at Chicago Stadium.
Enter with the torch in the stadium. 80,000 people screaming. I was waiting downstairs for the start for 10 hours; I was so tired with the torch. I give the torch to the combined ski cross country that they win gold in Lillehammer in 1994.
It’s all like an NBA game. You got the stadium full, and you got the fans. Half of them are booing you, but the other half is cheering you on. That’s just how it goes.
My most memorable dance has been at the Andheri Sports Complex for the ‘Dance India Dance’ finale, where I performed in front of my family, teachers and 25,000 people in the stadium. I won the show at the national level and that is my most unforgettable experience in Mumbai.
In China, remember, the the banks are arms of state policy. They loan because the local party official or regional party official tells them we need a new stadium. They are instruments of state policy.
