Overview
A colossal compendium that explores the most stellar stadiums from around the world!
From ancient Rome’s Colosseum to a floating soccer field in Singapore to the Astrodome in Houston (nicknamed the Eighth Wonder of the World), stadiums are an eyeful and so much more! But where do these iconic structures come from? They certainly don’t just happen overnight. Who decides what they look like? And just how do they get built?
In this oversized book packed with fun facts and vibrant illustrations, readers will learn how we went from gathering near caves for wrestling matches to watching sports and concerts with thousands of other fans in enormous amphitheaters. And find out fascinating secrets like:
- How many pounds of popcorn are consumed during a baseball game
- How arenas prepare for a “super flush” (when all the toilets flush at once)
- Where to find the largest scoreboard in the world
- How sports are broadcast live
- What stadium staff need to do to help fans have amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experiences
- And much more.
Open the walls, raise the roof, explore usually-off-limits hallways, and peer back in time to uncover all there is to know about stadiums—and exactly how they get made!
