The team is continuing to push the stadium forward.

Kevin Byrne

We're going to stay with the same rotation. We're evaluating on everything they do — practice, drills and everything. But the bottom line is you're going to glean more out there at the stadium going 11-on-11 when the coach is not right in your ear giving you a reminder every play.

Mike Bobo

It's a great stadium, great crowd, ... That's what Auburn football is about. But it's unacceptable to lose at home and that's what we did. It can't happen anymore.

Red Schoendienst

Their (Commission's) 50% rule is an intervention in the market that could lead to an artificial fall in revenues that would damage the quality of the game on the pitch, reduce the attractiveness of the game to stadium and TV fans, and hamper the ability of the game to invest in the community.

Richard Scudamore

It's a very big deal for our state, for both conferences and for the university. We're going to make a lot of money off the use of the stadium that can be put back into the athletics program.

Rudy Davalos

They're in Europe this year, ... They play really good attacking soccer. That's the way Keegan likes playing. There's a lot of good players in the club. Everything about it is exciting, the training ground, the stadium, the whole package.

Claudio Reyna

Vladimir hits the ball as hard as anyone in the league. He swings and hits bad pitches. He sees so many bad pitches, he expects a bad pitch every time. Barry is different because he will not swing at a bad pitch. But Guerrero hits bad pitches out of the stadium.

Javy Lopez

I saw a couple of players down below (in the stadium) who were talking about Oswalt during the game, and they said, 'My god, he is throwing a ball that looks like it's coming at 110 mph and rising when it gets to the plate,'.

Bruce Rudd

Bill Davis Stadium has been ranked as one of the best college baseball stadiums in the country and I think Ohio State fans have done a great job creating an extremely positive atmosphere. I can't believe it is the 10th season.

Bob Todd

Katrina blew that out of the water. There is no longer any talk of a new stadium.

Tim Coulon

Both teams are playing very well, both teams could easily be undefeated. We both have some of the best fans. The stadium is going to be packed, people are going to be going crazy. There's going to be a lot of energy. We're going to try to make the most of this opportunity.

Nate Salley

I've opened up in this stadium and it's been a tough go. We're excited to be going South and we're going as far South as we possibly can.

Torey Lovullo

This opens the way for us to take out a loan, find sponsors, build a new stadium.

Demis Nikolaidis

A lot of people oppose using tax dollars to finance a stadium because they live too far or have no interest in the sport.

John Flint

The problem is, I am tired of going to Bulgaria to make movies ... I'm even tired of going to Vancouver. I want to be able to drive from the set to Neyland Stadium on Saturday morning.

David Keith

Once the stadium is occupied a good number of tragedies have arisen due to a breakdown in authority.

Simon Inglis

It's a big loss for Stanford, and it's a big loss for the conference. The achievements are truly monumental, looking at it in terms of building the program, hiring outstanding coaches and building outstanding facilities. The one missing facility is the football stadium, and now that's moving forward.

Tom Hansen

Hilton is excited to introduce another outstanding property in St. Louis' bustling downtown district. Adjacent to the brand-new Busch Stadium, the hotel offers amenities and services designed to help visitors to the downtown area experience success and renewal during their stay, whether visiting loved ones, going to a baseball game, or attending a meeting.

Jeff Diskin

Oh my gosh, the town went crazy, ... I've never seen anything like that in my life. It was hard just getting in and out of downtown. There would be 40,000 fans outside the stadium waiting to get in hours before the game. You couldn't even drive in the city sometimes. It was crazy.

Julian Tavarez

There is lot of interest in the series but then there is only so much space in a stadium. We also have to look at facilities, comfort and security of the people who come to watch the matches.

Shaharyar Khan

There's always going to be the need for the shared movie experience. No matter how advanced home entertainment systems get, you're not going to have an 80-foot screen with stadium seating.

Dade Hayes

We expect to sell out all of our seats and we expect the stadium to be full for every game -- possibly excepting Carling (League) Cup games.

I'm not going to build it. It may hurt (the city's chances). On the other side, I remember Tampa Bay had an empty stadium for five years. This town grows too fast to have anything empty for one minute.

Kansas City

A lot of times they may get frustrated at the team not being successful. It's different than on the North Side, where regardless of how well a team is doing they'll pack that stadium.

Tim Raines

This is a sad and very tragic moment. Over this stadium hangs heavy emotion, a lot of pain and anger.

Danny Jordaan

The dollars are the dollars, we're charging just slightly more than we were charging last time (about $134). The fact that shocks the hell out of me is we went from 10 stadium shows up to 18 stadium shows. We went from doing 25,000-30,000 (people) a night in the stadiums to doing 40,000-50,000. That is incredible.

Michael Cohl

We have nearly 45,000 fans inside the stadium, nearly all of them are fantastic. We are not a club of thugs, although there are some turbulent elements that need to be, and will be, dealt with.

Alain Cayzac

It was an extreme measure. Bear in mind 150 people would have been sitting in this thing as it would have blasted off, literally like a rocket, to get out of the stadium.

Nick Cook

Although the Twins have a small profit, in order to keep up with the rest of Major League Baseball, they need a new stadium. The Twins have one of the worst stadium deals in all of baseball.

Kurt Badenhausen

It gives us an opportunity to play in a college stadium.

Steve Shanks

In the majority of occasions, this may cause nothing more than minor irritations, but if have an intermingling which results in violence, then how do you separate the rival elements, and where do the rival elements then go in order to leave that situation? A lot of that depends on the ability of the stadium operators to manage.

Simon Inglis

We think big Black Rock has to be built. If it's $4 billion, it's $4 billion. Let's get on with it. I wear a Mariner hat and I get over to that ballpark in Seattle sometimes. I don't think that stadium got put up without state help, and it's not cheap.

Tom Carpenter

I got there a little late, and it was my first time at Yankee Stadium and it was a big deal. I was in awe of the place.

Rick Aguilera

I was a Dodger fan born and raised, ... I probably went to only one Angels game and 100 Dodger games. I grew up with this stadium.

Chad Qualls

The likelihood of the new building being known as Giants Stadium is zero, ... The reality is that in today's marketplace, people sell naming rights to buildings. ... For this deal to be suitable to us, it must be a genuine 50-50 partnership.

Carl Goldberg

Clearly it's not the perfect balance that we would have in an ideal world. There's a challenge in opening a new stadium that presents a unique circumstances that we will see this year.

John Guppy

There are 70,000 people in the stadium, and many of them are top-level people who can't get to see the commercials.

Seth Palansky

Going into that stadium and getting a tie was phenomenal, ... That was the best we have played as a team being a man down. We knew we were doing a good job when we started knocking the ball around and the Mexican crowd was cheering 'Ole, Ole!!' That day, we left with the attitude that we were back in it again.

Marcelo Balboa

I'm not so sure they'd help much in a night game, but I have looked at stadium lights with them in, and it's weird.

Brennan Garr

From this day forward, this facility will be known as Lewis-Gale Medical Center Field at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium. The names will always be together.

John Katz

It's a very exciting day with the changes that have taken place at the stadium. We want our fans to show their support for our program by wearing green. We want the entire stadium in green.

Mark Driscoll

The fan feedback we received we can not ignore. Dragon Stadium is a very fine stadium, but our players and fans want the Burn to play on a grass soccer field and we want to be receptive to that need.

John Wagner

It'll change things in Dallas quite a bit, because as I walk around in Frisco and the malls and stores everybody's excited about the stadium and the team. I'm looking forward to it.

Greg Vanney

We've been having a great time and it's been awesome performing at all these venues, some more historical than others. We visited a few college campuses already, but nothing to the magnitude of Notre Dame. I'd love to go down to the [football stadium] field, especially since 'Rudy' was one of my favorite movies.

Bret Ernst

We don't want to stop the Yankees from developing their stadium, we just do not want them to do it on the public parks.

Joyce Hogi

They'll be looking for large weapons, potential weapons that could do grave harm in the stadium.

We look forward to welcoming back as many members of the team who can join us for what promises to be another special day in Shea Stadium history.

Jeff Wilpon

Especially the final phase bowled everyone over whether they were watching in the stadium or at home.

Markus Merk

Our kids were able to hang on to it at the end. I went up to Arsenio and told him 'everybody in the stadium knows you're getting the ball, just hang on to it.' That's not the time to get real fancy.

Chris Norman

My personal vision is to take the best part of the Orioles' Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards, ... One thing I've learned is York has a real tie to Baltimore and the Orioles.

Peter Kirk

My name's on the stadium. I don't know what else they could do. I guess they could put it on each one of the seats.

Boone Pickens

I remember it felt like we never had a chance to win that game. This year it's a chance to get a win in Memorial Stadium, which not many people get a chance to do.

Nick Leaders

Trevor's first choice has always been to remain a Padre. But it's looking more and more like it won't happen. Put it this way -- their offer made Trevor upset enough to have his locker cleaned out at the stadium.

Rick Thurman

This shortage is not affecting major projects. Providence Stadium has more than 190 tons of cement in stock and the contractors have enough cement on order from their suppliers to complete the work that they are doing.

Karan Singh

I've always loved this stadium, ... I'm going to miss it. I didn't like the turf, but the atmosphere was fabulous. You always felt like it was baseball here.

Ron Santo

The issue is durability, ... As an economist, all my instincts tell me just as the dot.com bubble had to burst, the small-market, new-stadium phenomenon had to burst.

Roger Noll

It's real sad for them not to play in their home stadium and not to have a [true] home field advantage.

Lula Bauer

I'm not going to put a percentage on it. There are a lot of factors and one of those factors is ticket sales. We want a loud stadium.

Amy Trask

(Students) had to use the school colors, red and white, as much as possible, ... The project was not only to give the stadium a new look, but to show pride in their school.

Margaret Myers

It seems to me that they ought to have enough money to build a new stadium and to locate or relocate wherever they want to.

Steve Landes

We're struggling to get some public help to rebuild our AAA stadium, let alone to build something of that magnitude. I don't know if Charlotte can support three major-league sports franchises right now.

Jeff Beaver

A defendant on trial for a specific crime is entitled to his day in court, not in a stadium or a city or nationwide arena.

Tom C. Clark

I got to play in his home country, in the stadium that was named after him and I know he was one of the best, if not the best, Latin American ballplayers of all time.

Mike Sweeney

I knew I was going to make it. I just looked around the stadium, savored it and said, 'OK, tonight's going to be my night.' It's definitely a moment I'll never forget.

Sandro Deangelis

Now the Jets feel as if they are second-class citizens in this stadium deal. They want to be true partners on all aspects of any business plan.

George Zoffinger

I think I would never have heard it and if I did hear it I wouldn't have paid a lick of attention to it. They need to get something closer. Something over here. Spread them out a little or something. Maybe one by Olympic Stadium.

Jeff Burnett

We've had one of these dinners on the 50-yard-line at Texas Stadium, and invited some players to stop by. We did it (the 50-yard-line stadium dinner) because we thought it was fun.

Bill Brewer

At no time was anyone in the stadium in danger.

David Boren

I promise I will throw a lot of touchdowns in the new stadium -- a lot more than I threw on Sunday.

Peyton Manning

Every single person I talked to thought it was outrageous they would sell the name. We had a poll done in the six-county area paying the tax for the new stadium, and 69 percent of those we asked said they were willing to pay a higher tax if it meant we kept the name.

John Hickenlooper

That 49er game, I still get cards from people talking about that. I have some great memories (of Sun Devil Stadium).

Neil Lomax

You'll see very discreet signage. It won't look like a baseball stadium.

Tom Meeker

It was a cheap place, a band box. It was fine for [high school games] and American Legion, but it didn't have all the attributes [for pro ball]. It was bleacher seats, not a stadium. It was miserably hot and sticky, and you were close to the [Potomac] river. It never got any better. It seemed held together back then by band-aids.

Pat Malone

I thought it was a fabulous idea. It guarantees the stadium will get a check and is another way for the university's football program to enhance its season-ticket package. Your spaces would be numbered. And they would sell the spots to people who would have them for the season.

Marcia Klompus

Tonight is really to introduce them to all the opportunities programmatically that we've got going. Whether it's clinics, whether it's breakfasts, whether it's opportunities in the Dodger program, networking with one another or sports in general -- understanding the rules, understanding what their children can do at the stadium. There are so many things we want to talk about.

Jamie Mccourt

Set against the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains, this stadium is home to UCLA's Bruins.

Dave Hollingsworth

We're serious about winning. The new stadium allows us to do some things that we haven't been able to do before.

Michael Bidwill

We're going to play in a beautiful park, a pro stadium. It'll be exciting for the players.

Daron Schoenrock

I think everybody in the stadium thinks he came down with it. We'll see on film, and I hope the film shows he didn't come down with it. It was pretty much a unanimous thing that everybody in the stadium thought he caught the football. We'll have to see. If he did catch it, then it was a bad call, and if he didn't catch it, then it was a great call.

Mike Glisson

You can't play that level of play. For a national championship, you can't come out like that. We'll get run out of the stadium.

Ryan Hollins

Once you announce you're moving the team, you give up your key piece of leverage. When they moved, a new stadium deal was expected to take a matter of months. It took eight years.

Marc Ganis

We were told to leave by the police and we made our way off the field. I didn't think it (the shots) affected the game, because we were already ahead. I think it was more of a safety thing. Everything happened on the outside of the stadium.

Domanick Davis

The Findlay fans were leaving the stadium, leaving in droves, because they thought the game was over. One of the assistant coaches came up to me and said, 'You better think of two plays because we only have time for two plays.' We had no timeouts left.

Cliff Hite

We need to upgrade those. We have the smallest, oldest stadium [in Chain of Lakes Park, which was built in the 1960s], but that's not a huge negative, because it's a charming place. The facility is the real issue.

Bob Dibiasio

On the way up I told them, 'You know, if we win this game, it's probably the last game ever at Busch Stadium,'.

Steve Weber

This is a side of Austin that, I think, many people haven't seen before. One hundred thousand people in Travis County live in poverty. That's enough to fill the UT stadium.

Beth Atherton

He wanted to build a stadium where he could stand on the 50-yard line and know he's in Detroit.

Tom Lewand

I said at the beginning of the season, I hope they implode the stadium before somebody does (pitch a no-hitter).

Bob Forsch

I think at first it was not a perfect experience. There was zero student participation. He would play football and no one would be in the stadium. Football athletes were really frowned upon. ... They did a great sales job. In essence, it wasn't the case.

Beth Puchtel

In the building I live in on Park Avenue there are ten people who could buy the Yankees, but none of them could hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium.

Reggie Jackson

[Chelsea had borrowed heavily from financial institutions, principally to fund stadium development. Ruth Giste, the widow of the late club director Matthew Harding, had also demanded repayment of a significant sum loaned to the club.] Fans did not know that in January the club had mortgaged, if you will, the TV revenues, ... It borrowed against the TV revenues that were to be handed out in August.

Bruce Buck

As far as I know, the hotel project at Providence, close to the stadium, has enough cement in supply at the site. The shortage is basically affecting the small man rather than big companies.

Karan Singh

I fell in love with (the stadium). I love the complex. They treated us well and that's why we're coming back this season.

Carl Tebon

At this point, I don't see relocation as a viable alternative, because the league has said, 'You've got to make it work [in Minnesota].' The league knows I'd be very happy to be in L.A., but I'd also like to be here with a new stadium.

Red Mccombs

It was very strange. I really looked forward to fans coming back into the stadium.

Claude Puel

It will be major transformation of Kauffman Stadium, keeping with the numerous good aspects, while also dramatically enhancing the amenities for fans. While there are certainly many beautiful ballparks in America, we think the 'like-new' Kauffman Stadium will be the best and most scenic family-oriented experience in all of baseball.

Mark Gorris

We were drawn to the Colts organization because their leadership has the same high standards we embrace. As a worldwide company, we see Lucas Oil Stadium as an exciting investment that also makes good business sense.

Forrest Lucas

Three years ago, I had to make that decision to hold the game. It can be nerve-racking, especially with 70,000 people in a stadium with aluminum stands.

Donnie Mefford

When you walk into this stadium you won't be able to walk out of it without knowing what the name of the stadium is going to be.

Tom Zupancic

The crowd has been great, ... especially our (semifinal) match since it was on Stadium Court and at night. A lot of people stuck around from the (first night match), and since it was a tight match, the crowd helped us out a lot.

Rajeev Ram

I'm glad we're playing at home again. I thought Sunday was my last game playing there. There's no other place that I'd rather play at than Memorial Stadium.

Leanne Zilioli

The intention there is to get general revenue out of funding that stadium quicker.

Ann Stock

The act of building a dome costs you $150 million right off the top, ... The attendance effect you get from having a domed stadium is way too small to justify the additional costs. You'd have to think 50 percent of attendance is at stake without a dome for it to make sense.

Roger Noll

We'll be there, ... The biggest thing we need to is to play in front of 73,000 people. The product is good. The winning is there. We need Sun Devil Stadium to rock.

Lisa Love

This has not affected the structure of the roof, or the stadium, neither of which has moved. At this point we believe this could be a minor incident.

Martin Tidd

I feel that the community wants a stadium theater. And if (the developers) aren't allowed to get the signage they feel is necessary in order for them to be successful in Grand Junction, I feel that they aren't going to do the deal.

Mark Mcpherson

It was a great help to have the stadium supporting the team so much. It was like a final but of course in finals you have two sets of supporters and we had the whole stadium behind us.

Juande Ramos

Find a tailgate spot with a view of majestic Ohio Stadium.

Dave Hollingsworth

It's kinda weird. Some teams have already played three games, and we've only played one. Finally, we're getting ready to play at home in front of our fans, our stadium and our atmosphere.

Rudy Niswanger

[Barry (D-Ward 8) said he changed his mind after he realized that the plan could bring as much as $1 billion in new investment to his ward and provide more than 3,000 units of housing, some of which would be set aside for first-time homeowners and those earning low wages.] It makes sense, ... A stadium by itself didn't make sense.

Marion Barry

'What we had to do was to change a people's stadium into a class stadium. During Nazi times, there was only one VIP. Today, there are several classes of VIPs.

Volkwin Marg

They say we're playing in a former minor league stadium that has short dimensions. With our pitching and hitting, that's a plus for us.

Joe Pistone

I don't know that inside the stadium we think about being an expansion team too much any more. But people outside of Houston may still see us as the new guys. We definitely have to go out and prove that we can play.

David Carr

We used a material palette that fit in with the surrounding campus. The stadium exterior had been mostly gray concrete. The new building exterior is stone and red brick.

Randy Bredar

If there is not to be a shared stadium it would be good to think that, in the future, the city of Liverpool would continue to a represent a major center for football excellence -- one which would boast two world-class facilities.

Keith Wyness

I just remember driving past and seeing the stadium and having to get off and going through there and not knowing where the entrance was and getting lost and having to ask people where to go and walking through with my bag and being kind of like, 'Where do I go? Where's my locker?'

Marlon Anderson

A college stadium might be used for football games six days a year, but it is a part of the campus 365 days a year. It affects those adjacent to it, and those who operate through and around it. The stadium should knit itself into the campus community.

Randy Bredar

My major league debut came at old Busch Stadium on Grand Avenue in St. Louis against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Steve Carlton

It's still too early to say when the stadium will be open.

Michael Cunnah

Sort of like the March of Dimes, the kids get sponsors – uncles, classmates, older sisters and brothers, cousins – to say, 'Hey, I'll give you a dollar or five dollars for one lap around the track. The kids do a quarter-mile lap, which is one lap around the track at Drake Stadium, and the kids raise money for other children.

Orlando Jones

Do we want more bodies in the stadium? Yes.

Amy Trask

I've been in the stadium where all four ribbons on top of the goalposts were blowing toward each other. It doesn't make any sense, but I've seen it. That's just what happens when you've got so many surfaces for the wind to blow against.

Shayne Graham

We're just disappointed that the Jets made representations to us of their interest in staying here that may not, in fact, be the case if they are genuinely still interested in pursuing a stadium deal in Queens.

Carl Goldberg

Chennai Open has developed as a major event in the tennis circuit. Players will get opportunity to prepare for the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australia Open. It is a perfect stadium. So, I think Chennai Open will develop into a wonderful event.

Vijay Amritraj

I feel kind of bad for the people working at that stadium having to change so many logos.

Dan Mozes

In Oklahoma City we went to the OU stadium.

Jacque Sequichie

We want to give our fans every opportunity to see the new ballpark. The open house will give people a chance to explore the stadium free of charge and, by offering two sessions, we're able to accommodate as many people as possible before the season begins two days later.

Mark Lamping

I have never been in a stadium where I felt that kind of emotional connection between a crowd and the ceremony. All hell broke loose as far as the demand for all of the Olympics product, especially the beret.

Michael Budman

Brazil will be fantastic for the game. Potentially a billion viewers, 1000 media, a sold-out stadium ? and we are going to be a part of that. Yes, there will be pressure to perform and keep credibility intact, but who wouldn't want to be there.

Ricki Herbert

We're excited to host the Cereal City Classic for the first time. We hope area fans will come out and support the area teams at C.O. Brown Stadium.

Martie Cordaro

[Spartan Stadium] is a tough place to play. I think the attitude coming in was very positive, but with [San Jose] getting the first goal, and now us chasing the game, it makes it doubly hard on us in a building where you don't have a lot of space.

Dave Sarachan

We were hoping that soccer stadium would have some athletics facilities and a track associated with it, but as I understand it, the powers that be don't want to have a track there. We were disappointed to see that.

Chris Rudge

I think what it says is that Telstra Stadium is out of sight, out of mind.

Nick Pappas

From curb appeal, you'll see the same thing as Plainsman Park. It will really dress up the outside of the stadium.

Randy Byars

Valley is an awesome place, but it's nice to be able to use two facilities. I still believe that Valley Stadium will be the place for most of our home games.

Steve Shanks

You can't grasp it. It's not life or death, but it's damn near close. You invest so much into this program and the winning, to have a loss in your home stadium in front of your family, in front of your friends, it hurts.

Todd Mccullough

If I go to a match it doesn't mean I want to buy the stadium or the club.

Lakshmi Mittal

There were 30,000 people as of Friday. There was an emergency meeting [among the show's staff and stadium personnel], but there was no plan to deal with the crowd. That is what we initially think.

Marius Corpus

We all know Shea Stadium occupies a place in this borough, physically and spiritually. It has served its purpose well. But now, it is time to commence the construction of something new.

Helen Marshall

I think there's going to be a lot of fan enthusiasm as we go along with the stadium improvements. Having the All-Star Game coming back here is a very nice part of it. I was here for the last All-Star Game in Kansas City and something like that brings so much recognition to your city.

Barry Evans

It's going to be kind of like playing in a road stadium with everyone on your side. You have 7,000 more people rooting for you, there's no way you cannot be excited about that.

Mike Hass

I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.

Steve Nash

It doesn't scare us. While there may be a subsidy needed to jump-start it, the new owner will need to help build a stadium, no doubt about it.

Plus, we've offered 25 percent of allocations from the naming rights at the stadium, so in our estimation, the city would receive a minimum of three times what they are receiving now, which is doable in a market of this size. Any team in a market the size of Hidalgo County should be aiming for higher attendance than what it is now.

I shared a locker with Mickey Mantle at Yankee Stadium. But then they have two of everything in New York, baseball, football, hockey. I don't remember any of that here.

Sam Huff

When we got to the stadium, there were 5,000 people and it was a playoff-like atmosphere.

Deron Clark

It's a nice stadium and it has that new turf everybody seems to be going to. The kids are really going to enjoy it.

Junior Graham

It's a good time for somebody new. There will be a new stadium and maybe a new coach will spark more interest in the program.

Shawn Kimple

Once it's game day, once I'm on that practice field, once I step into the stadium, everything else is irrelevant for about three hours.

Robin Horton

The math just doesn't work at this level, ... A lot of people believe these places are real valuable and you sell a lot of product, but the return is minuscule. Basically, Yankee Stadium does as much business as a medium-sized convenience store.

Steve Koonin

You should ask the highway authorities why the gritting wasn't done earlier. We can only control what goes on in the stadium - we can't do anything about the approach roads.

Freddie Shepherd

Well, it's usually outside and at night. They usually have a lot of fans and it's a big stadium. But we've played them before, and we're ready. We're excited.

Jen Kasel

As early as next spring we will be building two fields. One will be a championship stadium field. It will be lit and seat 2,000.

Jim Norris

It doesn't matter who we play. You have to play them all to get there. San Jose, when they play at Spartan Stadium, that's a completely different game so they may be a little more difficult.

Fernando Clavijo

The place where they're planning to put the stadium is a place that needs rehabilitation and it's gonna be tough for us to get the money to do that, ... This way, we will have something that's positive here.

Helen Marshall

Does this stadium hold great memories? Yes.

Mike Shannon

We know that material costs have gone up, and I think we can get a 5,000-seat stadium and the 15 courts, ... some of the whistles and bells we looked at might not be there.

Tom Dempsey

We are delighted that the Walkers Stadium has been chosen to host such a prestigious event.

Tim Davies

We look forward to working with the three levels of government as we prepare for construction of the stadium in early 2006 and while we finalize our franchise agreement with Major League Soccer.

Richard Peddie

You don't have to look very far here at Tinker Stadium to see why tonight's game cannot go on as planned. The Lake Highland Prep baseball coach is disgusted with what he sees. A bathroom in shambles, a grass-less field littered with debris and feces.

Jessica Sanchez

Our defense played awfully well. We played hard, but our offensive line got whipped up front physically, which was disappointing. Our defense was the key. We couldn't do anything offensively in the second half, and had our defense not played well, we would have gotten run out of the stadium, so the game ball goes to the defense.

Scott Ford

Following the triumph over Goliath at Stanford Stadium, UC-Davis announced it would change its name to UC-David.

Bud Withers

There are obvious alternatives if we are going to move to another stadium on a temporary basis. There is Easter Road, Dunfermline's ground and Murrayfield but we will discuss the matter with the fans and the shareholders before anything happens. We've not entered into any formal talks with the officials at these grounds because it's far too early to do that.

George Foulkes

There's no hit that destroys a pitcher and a defense more than those hits. Everyone in the stadium knows that you can't defend those. That's just a (lucky) break.

Steve Jump

I'm not even thinking about that. I've got faith in our state that they will do what's necessary to get the stadium back up and running.

Mark Romig

It has been said that the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games is something that an athlete will remember for the rest of their life. It is true. That moment when you walk into the Olympic Stadium as part of the Australian Olympic Team, is a moment that I will never forget.

Jeff Fenech

It's going to be a crazy night. It's always wild at Giants Stadium when the Cowboys come to town. It's a division game against a longtime rival, so it's going to be big.

Darren Woodson

We could have passed a hat around the stadium and gotten our money back (to pay for the cost of replay).

Bobby Gaston

We couldn't be more pleased with the support we've received from our fans. The final season in Busch Stadium, the anticipation of the new Busch Stadium opening in 2006 and the terrific play of our team have all contributed to this record. It's a record that everyone associated with the Cardinals should be proud of -- most importantly, our loyal fans.

Mark Lamping

It enhances the whole game experience to have a soccer-specific stadium. That's what we'll do.

Dave Checketts

Some people will get in [the stadium], many will not. Most of them just want to be around the atmosphere.

Frank Supovitz

I was very much impressed. They have a state-of-the-art stadium, and there isn't any in America that is better. There is no better place in the country (than Valdosta) as far as tradition.

Rick Tomberlin

Unbelievable. It was the best game, loudest I ever heard at Marshall Stadium, maybe one of the loudest I've heard. I could barely hear the snap when I was out there and they weren't even trying to yell when I was out there.

Toby Bullock

You can also have problems with the wind on that end of the stadium. If it is blowing east to west, it hits the stadium and turns around in your face. The dirt isn't too bad when it is drizzling. When it is wet, you don't know what will happen. Every year is a different set of conditions with the dirt.
