I watched a lot of Spurs games before I signed. It’s a massive club, one of the biggest in London. They play good football, the stadium is big, and if you look at the training ground – it’s perfect.
I remember Simple Minds, Echo and the Bunnymen, Nina Hagen, Elvis Costello and Duran Duran. And the best concert I ever saw was the Rolling Stones, in the stadium of Sporting Lisbon.
We strove for more than 60 years to give Joe DiMaggio the hero’s life. From his debut at Yankee Stadium in 1936 until his death in 1999, DiMaggio was, at every turn, one man we could look at who made us feel good.
Delhi is special for me because I made my world record here. We were playing against France at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium when I hit the fastest drag-flick in the world during the London Olympics qualifications in 2012.
San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don’t mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. When they boo you, you know they mean you. Music, that’s what it is to me. One time in Kezar Stadium they gave me a standing boo.
They said Babe Ruth built Yankee Stadium and Bruno Sammartino built the Garden. It always was my favorite place.
To an extent I agree that the FA hasn’t done that much to tackle the problem of racism, but it’s hard to police racism for the FA. How do they police it? Unless someone makes people aware of what has happened within a stadium, the FA would never know that it is happening.
No matter how loud the stadium is, once you’re on that field and that offense walks up to the line, it’s silent. You can only hear the guys on the field. It’s amazing how much concentration you can have when it’s required and how powerful your mind is to give it to you.
My time at Bolton was fantastic. I didn’t want to go. It’s a fantastic stadium with fantastic fans, but I want to disappoint them.
To be honest, I don’t think there’s anything more exciting than an empty stadium. When you see it empty like that, all you see is possibility.
I’ve been in the States and fought before. When I’m in that changing room, I’ll feel as if I’ve been in that situation before. Obviously I’m going to have to deal on the biggest stage, and it’s the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, but it doesn’t faze me.
The people of Madrid are very affectionate with me and the fans are usually nice to me at the stadium.
I have a love for Shea Stadium and its fans. I had so much fun with the fans. Yeah, they booed me. I was like, ‘I know, I know.’
When it’s the caliber of fight that Canelo Alvarez and Liam Smith is, that’s a big deal, and what I’ve tried to do since we built this stadium is have the great sport events.
I have friends who are Gent fans, and I always drive past their stadium when I go to see my grandmother.
I want to experience that massive adrenalin rush when you step into a new stadium, all the more so when that Olympic Stadium is packed full of people waving British flags.
You don’t have a lot of transplants in Baltimore. And I think that makes sports mean more to the people who live there. It translates to the passion of the fans and how the stadium reacts on Sunday.
They’ve got a good atmosphere and it’s always a tough game at the Stadium of Light.
I enjoy my solo career because I get to play smaller places like clubs and theaters, and the interaction with the audience is much higher quality. It also sounds better than a baseball stadium. Everybody has a good seat, and I don’t have to play a specific part like I do in the Eagles.
I know when it’s getting close to game time, I create a different playlist for each and every game. Before the game, to game time, to warm-ups, going to the stadium, I have a different playlist that puts me in a different mode.
I was on the field praising quarterback Dan Fouts during a ceremony to retire his number. Boos began shaking the stadium. It was a moment of misery like I’d never experienced before. Afterward, dejection hung over me for days.
I want a super-fight with a massive name, and I’d love it in a stadium.
Kastles Stadium at The Wharf is a state of the art tennis facility and the great tennis fans of Washington come out and consistently fill the place up.
I had hoped that the board would accept Johnny Hon’s offer of a loan to buy the stadium back for the club, as I think this would be best way of continuing the long tradition of Cambridge United in Cambridge – and it was a generous offer.
I don’t play the kind of music that works in a football stadium.
The idea of standing five feet away from Norah Jones and listening to her sing Neil Young’s ‘Down By The River’ was just phenomenal. I compare that to what my kids know of at a concert, which is sitting in a stadium and watching a huge screen.
My life became occupied with only a couple of things: go to the stadium and practice, come back home, eat, then go back to training.
Everyone wants to have fun playing football. A person goes to the stadium to have fun.
It’s crazy, everytime I’ve played in New Orleans’ stadium, it’s always big-time, it’s always a good vibe and I just love the indoor environment, the black, the entire environment.
We grew up in an age of playing reserve team football at the stadium. If the first team were playing away, you’d be playing at home, at Highbury, and there would be one man and his dog there. Even though you’d psych yourself up, you still don’t get that push.
The first thing I remember was going up to Celtic Park to watch Celtic, feeling the full effect of the stadium. When you see the players on the park for the first time, you get sucked in and it’s like a dream.
My first time in New York City was for ‘Wrestlemania’ at MetLife Stadium. It was an insanely-awesome experience and I fell in love with the city.
If I score a goal in training, it feels great. But in a stadium, especially Anfield, or even when you score away and the fans are silent, it’s just amazing. You are just in the moment. There are times when I’ve scored, and I can’t even remember what happened. It’s so good.
The stadium expansion is currently at the feasibility stage and has to go through that.
Teams just don’t go into Autzen Stadium and win very often.
