Sports like football get a lot of recognition. Even our football stadium gets recognition. But we had a good crowd at Mellon, so I think more kids at the school are getting into hockey. More of them are coming to games.

Dylan Trombetta

It just melts my heart to have that, especially since our stadium is named after him. I have people come down here all the time and look at it.

Bud Sueppel

Every person in this stadium today can touch someone who has been affected by the events of this week.

Larry Templeton

From back here, ... you could look up [through an open section in the wall], even if you're outside the stadium, and see the scoreboard.

Joseph Spear

You look at all the great players that they've had and the potential of playing in Yankee Stadium.

Nick Johnson

The alumni game is one of the best events of the year. It is great to see a lot of the players that have done great things for the Bears over the years. I think that they will be excited about the things that are happening to Bears soccer as we move fully back into Division I. The plans for the new stadium complex are unbelievable and will give us a great new home.

Tim Barrera

College football is the sport where 80, 000 people show up to watch a Poll Bowl, half of them wearing one color, half of them wearing another color. This is important because 80, 000 people wearing any color never filled a stadium to watch a math quiz.

Dan Jenkins

If you're going to see a benefit from the stadium, it's going to come from Ballpark Village.

Patrick Rishe

We wanted to open the stadium.

Rocky Patchin

We're determined to work with everyone. We believe that if we can sit down and talk about it (the stadium proposal), we can convince them it's a good idea.

Mark Fabiani

In Gwinnett, they don't shut down the whole city just for one team, ... Down there, you see all the stores are closed and the stadium is jam-packed; there's so much support down there. It's overwhelming.

Demetrius

It's really good grass over there. We'll play both days at Kimbrough (Stadium) and will have a chance to showcase that facility, as well.

Chris Feris

The band is redefining the concert experience - there is nothing even comparable to the thrill of being onstage with the Rolling Stones and seeing a stadium show from the band's perspective.

Michael Cohl

Right now, (the cost) is the least of our concerns. This is important to us and important to our fans and anyone entering the stadium.

Jeff Kamis

It hasn't been agreed to yet. We're still working on that. But the maintenance fees that we're going to receive are going to help us improve the stadium downstream. Plus the fact that we would not be out of pocket for any of the day-to-day cost associated with putting on the game.

Dan Radakovich

This is the best opportunity the state has had to solve all three (stadium) issues. There's starting to be some discussions. So we're trying to keep it going, to try and make our case.

Lester Bagley

It's such a beautiful, unique stadium because it's a war memorial and it's an historic building, ... I know the buildings there. We're not going to mess it up. Not on my watch.

Tim Cahill

It's a community stadium with a nice setup. It's a compliment to be invited to play in it, and it's a great stage for our kids.

Tom Blake

I relish the challenge ahead here at Sunderland. It is clear to me that this is a club with a proud tradition, huge and faithful support and in the Stadium of Light and academy, facilities that will be second to none.

Howard Wilkinson

We need something normal. Helicopters flying over the stadium is not normal.

Kyle Williams

I'm excited that so many people want us to do better than we've done before, ... This stadium is going to be very light and modern and different.

Joseph Spear

This is a major vote and a major step on the way to fulfilling the dream of bringing the stadium back to campus. This is historic and I would argue a monumental vote.

Robert Bruininks

Ohio Stadium is where our statewide community comes together every fall, and this effort allows our faculty, staff, students and fans to come together and make a significant difference for people in need.

Karen Holbrook

A lot of things are going through your head when the game's getting tight. We had to make a play. Let me tell you something, I don't want to walk out of this stadium with a loss.

Albert Young

We asked about the tickets because when we looked into the stadium it was still half empty. And they told me the tickets were gone and no more would be handed out.

Tyler Feret

We have a senior banquet on Sunday and senior day. It will be sad, the last time in the stadium, but I guess that?s more incentive to play well and give it all you got.

Andrew Bender

I was in this stadium with 200,000 people looking at my mum and dad. That was mind-bending.

Stella Mccartney

Major League Baseball wants to see a resolution to the stadium situation. They didn't discuss specific actions they might take. They're interested in seeing the ball move forward on a ballpark.

Brian Mcclung

I am happy that the premier is coming, to stress for Italy the importance of these games. If the people at the stadium will applaud or whistle (the equivalent of booing in Europe) is another matter.

Sergio Chiamparino

I noticed him in the championship game (at Qualcomm Stadium) and thought he showed a lot of promise.

Mark Tennis

This allows us to continue work on phase II and continue the stadium in a manner we all hoped we would be able to.

Frank Duross

We're finishing a really nice improvement to the stadium, an addition to the left field area. That gives us places to have a picnic area and bands and stuff like that.

Donald Moore

I should play every week at Delray. I just like the courts here. There's a good crowd, a nice atmosphere and a good stadium. I feel good here, at ease.

Xavier Malisse

When you walk out there, when you into that stadium, you walk out there with a presence. Mr. Davis called it a swagger. I just want to get back to the point where when we walk into a stadium, they know the Raiders are in town. And when we walk into the Coliseum, the Raiders are here. ... We've got to create that attitude, and that's what I expect to do.

Art Shell

It was an emotional night, an extraordinary moment, ... I wish Dad was there to touch and feel the stadium, but I think he might be with me now more than ever.

Cal Ripken

The good thing about Kauffman Stadium is that we have space. We can expand without a problem.

Mark Gorris

[Last summer, when asked if Wembley Stadium would be ready to host this years FA Cup Final] I will definitely be taking my seat at Wembley Stadium on 13th May.

Martin Tidd

(Heinz Field) is certainly not the worst place to kick in the league. I can tell you I've faced worse conditions in Kansas City, even a couple of weeks ago in Chicago. It's just an aura the stadium has for some reason.

Todd Peterson

For the Dubai Sevens, they built a temporary 30,000-seat stadium and if you did that sort of thing I'm sure you would get plenty of corporate support.

Steve Noyce

Defensively, we really bowed up. We knew they were going to make a run at us. It's their home stadium. They're a good football team. We knew we'd have to weather their storm.

Bob Howell

It's loud. We've got a vertical stadium. I think it's as loud as any of them.

Frank Beamer

A university is a college with a stadium seating over 40,000.

Leonard L. Levinson

We've had a ton of interest. Any time an arena or a stadium is imploded, we see it all across the country. People are just really interested.

Derek Slap

It's something I look forward to. For instance, I love going down to Lufkin and playing at Abe Martin Stadium. I've played there two years and it was real hostile. I am just looking at this as another game. I am not going into it with fear, I am just looking to enjoy it and do what I can to help us win.

Preston Hill

It's not a road trip, and it's almost like playing in the same stadium because our stadium was built around the same time.

Jerry Hayes

Was on the stadium planning committee and was really looking forward to the first football game.

Charles Mason

Our ultimate goal is to get to Detroit again. I like that stadium. It's a pretty nice stadium.

Brian Simmons

My best moment in professional baseball? You're looking at it right now. I'm in my hometown and I am a big league player about to play in Yankee Stadium. Does it get better?

Ruddy Lugo

When we walked ... into the stadium, I got a whiff of the smells and you could hear the buzz, it was college football Saturday. Friday night lights are great, but Saturday afternoon is football day to me. I just love it. As soon as I got a whiff of it, I got a chill up my spine.

Todd Hoiness

We are still assured by Multiplex that they are on schedule to hand over the stadium on March 31.

Adrian Bevington

There's a certain amount of nervousness at present. ... It's a harsh environment out there and this is not easy. We don't really know what to expect, frankly. ... It could be anything from a crater the size of a football stadium to something that's far more modest. Or the spacecraft could simply bury itself into the comet.

Don Yeomans

We lost but I remember coming to the stadium, going into the locker room and coming out of the field like it was yesterday. It's something I'll never forget, to play as a kid on a field where the Gators and Bulldogs played.

Daniel Davis

You go back to the stadium stairs and the sprints and all the weights we lifted. That's where that shows up.

Ryan Matha

When we announced we had signed the agreement with the Orange Bowl to extend the contract for eight to 12 years, we said Dolphins Stadium was going to be the premier site for major sporting events in the U.S.. We're doing everything we can to basically make it a brand-new stadium.

Joe Bailey

If we'd passed a hat around the stadium we would have gotten our money back.

Bobby Gaston

There's no real justification for public financing of stadiums. They don't generate economic benefits. They don't help revitalize neighborhoods. The economic research on this is pretty solid. The only studies that show positive effects are the ones commissioned by baseball and people who want a stadium built.

Scott Wallsten

I'm ready. I want to play Placer Hillmen football at Le Febvre Stadium. This is one of the best weeks of the year, it's great to see all the alumni come back.

Brad Wright

The Saints are bearing the entire financial burden of playing here at Tiger Stadium. Everything. We don't expect to lose anything at all. We're ensured against any loss whatsoever and against wear and tear on the stadium and the field.

Bernard Boudreaux

There is no way in the world we should be having a discussion about choosing between stadiums for high schools, Victory Stadium and libraries in the same sentence.

Carl Cooper

They are a little too much the perfectionists. We still haven't found the optimal solution. If everyone has to show their papers, it will take four hours before spectators are in the stadium.

Sepp Blatter

It's great to be here. A lot of people questioned whether we would be here. But there is one thing you want to know about New Yorkers - we never give up. In just 72 hours, we created a new great plan for our Olympic stadium.

Dan Doctoroff

As a consultant, Manhattan has been a part of our organization as we progressed through the development of this stadium project. The experience they have in this type of construction is invaluable.

Jerry Jones

It will be a fantastic stadium and we are looking forward to going there.

Derek Mcgrath

We'll have first-aid golf carts outfitted so you can lay people on a stretcher, just like we had at the old stadium.

Joe Walsh

I thought it was a clean block. How many people does this stadium hold, 53,000? I thought 53,000 people thought it was a clean block. And another million watching on TV thought it was a clean block. But one guy with all the power thought it was a (crappy) block.

Langston Walker

A bunch of us got lost on a turn and ended up outside the stadium. I was afraid I was going to be the last one back in, but I turned around and there's Tony holding up his camera behind everybody.

Tony Iob

We like going into an away stadium and establishing that as our home. Nothing's better than going into an away stadium and shutting up 80,000 people.

Joe Anoai

With all the activities we have here at the stadium, we will hit the one million mark this summer. With amateur baseball, professional baseball, soccer, antiques fairs, concerts and the like, we've seen significant attendance at the field. We'll be watching the count, and we expect to see our one millionth guest sometime in early July!

Ross Vecchio

The financial backing is out there for a stadium, ... Our goal is to get it done in five years. That's a realistic timeframe.

Norval Pohl

I was the most excited person in the stadium after that hit.

Jeff Mathis

The floor of McMahon Stadium has rocked and has hummed with an unbelievable feeling. It's exactly what you'd like to have every time you play.

Tom Higgins

We've seen growth in the average daily rate throughout the city, from Westport to downtown, especially with an increase in convention business in St. Charles. With the new stadium opening up and development continuing downtown, we're confident we'll see growth in the new property, too.

Tom Lyons

What a shame. I want everybody in town to be at Lights On Tampa, but 65,000 people will be at the stadium, and a lot of people will be watching (the game) at home.

Art Keeble

When it came time for the announcers to introduce Elvis, the stadium was filled with anticipation. At the mention of Elvis' name, the modest crowd cheered and looked expectantly at the parked Cadillac.

Bob Watkins

This represents by far the largest private investment in a stadium in this country. And unlike all of the other recent stadium deals, there are no public dollars being spent, except for the money on the infrastructure, which is being offset by the taxes on the construction.

Pat Hanlon

I loved going to the games and introducing my husband to Massillon football. He couldn't believe that a city that size had a stadium that big.

Sally Grant

The girls were outstanding. It is now a fantastic opportunity for the girls and the schools to play at the Millennium Stadium and they're all really excited about it.

Glenn Stewart

I'm delighted for a Brazil team to win it in the stadium Brazil won the World Cup in. But it wasn't just down to me.

Rogerio Ceni

We have a superb stadium for the World Cup. I am convinced that the millions of people who see the games in this stadium will remember the city forever.

Joseph Blatter

We're tremendously proud and excited to be investing in the new stadium in Swansea.

Scott Gibbs

It's been shown time and again that Minnesota voters don't want to use public money to fund sports stadium for private owners.

Laura Lehmann

He'll be in a private place on his own, but a peaceful place to watch the game. He will be away from the stadium. It's just his decision.

Baltemar Brito

Whether philosophically you believe in a public subsidization of an arena or a stadium, that's the reality. We can't have professional basketball in this community by the end of our lease in 2010 without subsidization.

Wally Walker

They did the whole Derrick Thomas tribute and had the airplanes flying over the stadium.

Tarik Glenn

It was magic. You would have thought it was a local rider because the stadium absolutely erupted.

Tony Thompson

I'm obviously not happy that it's going to leave Sun Devil Stadium. Sun Devil Stadium is the place for the Fiesta Bowl, but I understand why that decision was made. So it's going to be nice to be a part of this. Hopefully we can make it a memorable one.

Gene Smith

I think the big thing in coming to this baseball stadium, is it makes me like I'm back playing big league baseball again. We went to a lot of big-time parks and stadiums, and after all the big places I've been, when I come here I feel like I'm back there again.

Tim Harkrider

Why someone would leave $4,000 in their checked luggage is beyond me. Why don't they just take the $4,000 and leave it on the seat at Aloha Stadium during a football game and let somebody pick it up? Because that's essentially what they did.

Nico Melendez

When I first came in the stadium I felt like I was home, ... I had these butterfly feelings. But then when I got my first tackle it took me back to 2003, the last time I played on this field on my senior night, and the butterflies went away.

Dennis King

To see a lot of visiting-team fans in our stadium my first season here, it was a little disheartening.

Tod Leiweke

I can't explain my feelings, I love the run-up and the stadium here.

Yelena Isinbayeva

We are ecstatic to finally be able to announce the date of our Grand Opening game at our new stadium in Bridgeview. We know there has been much speculation and great anticipation in the community about this date, and we are thrilled that every soccer fan can now circle June 25 in their calendar.

John Guppy

It won't hurt the field. And the teams can warm up behind the stadium -- there's plenty of space.

Dan Clark

Building stadiums is something that appeals to local politicians and mayors, especially, because it's something that you can show off. You can put a plaque on a stadium, but you can't put a plaque on reduced first-grade class sizes. You can't go sit in the front row on opening day at the new grade school and wave at the crowd, but you can at a baseball stadium.

Neil Demause

That time, we quieted 110,000 people (at Michigan Stadium). I figured 6,000 - we could do that, too.

Rocky Harvey

If we can get some energy to feed over from Assembly Hall and get it into Memorial Stadium, we'll be all right. It's set up good because those two home games can catapult us into the conference schedule.

Jason Davis

They will march into the stadium together to stress that sports is a big, single family that also needs moments of fun. To each section of the IOC official protocol, we shall answer with our goofy and grotesque protocol and I am sure the people will laugh and cheer.

Marco Balich

Is the Coliseum positioned between two beautiful buttes like Sun Devil Stadium? ... If you can't be intellectually stimulated by (ASU's beauty), you don't have a pulse.

Lisa Love

I'd never seen anything like it. When our bus got close to the stadium, and there was a lot of traffic, we were like, What's going on here?

Robert Porcher

It looks like they're going to get a stadium built in L.A., and I'm sure they'll be a team ready to move there, too.

Bud Adams

If we turn the clock forward five years or so I really would wish to see the stadium classified as one of the finest in the north of England, capable of hosting international matches at all levels, but at the same time creating and becoming an integral part of the life of the community.

Kevin Mccabe

Aw, man, it was a horrible feeling leaving the stadium like that. It's definitely not something you ever want to let happen again.

Dennis Davis

It was strange, ... It was kind of quiet in a stadium we knew is supposed to be one of the loudest in the league. Then we came out and were applauded. It was not the normal feeling you get playing on the road.

Shaun Williams

The stadium is really in great shape, considering its more than 30 years old. But, the only way to keep it in great shape is to address these things now, before they get out of hand.

John Loffredo

Without the new stadium we probably wouldn't be going to Cardiff.

Gary Hetherington

I have not had any discussions regarding a stadium. I know as we grow, we will need recreational facilities and joint-use facilities. ... But what I'm concerned about is, where will the funds come from?

Gary Kubic

I don't think we're going to have to answer that question this year. We plan on going in there and lifting a lot of weight off (Brown's) shoulders and walking out of that stadium with a smile on our face.

Rod Wright

If we had our time again we would manage differently the significance of May 13; we'd want to finish a great stadium.

Martin Tidd

They're building this new stadium for 23,000 people, which is too big for tennis. They've got their $90,000 boxes, which they can sell to people who don't care about money. But will there be room for kids? Will there be bleachers? You can't build tennis for fat cats. You have to interest new people.

Bud Collins

The timing is regrettable, I guess, because people are going to want to read into it, but there's no connection. We have to stay the course in football, get the stadium done, do the best job we can in recruiting. We've been successful before and it's been consistency that's been difficult. ... We've not given up on that dream.

Ted Leland

There was nothing there (at the stadium entrance). There were some older pictures that needed replaced.

Margaret Myers

The focus on this is the stadium and what's happening at the stadium.

George Torres

I was familiar with the campus, the community, the stadium, and we felt that we could put these pieces together and build a program, ... My on-the-field memories could fill a book.

Barry Alvarez

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

Derek Jeter

When the project began, the idea was to create a new look for the football stadium. This was the students' idea. They wanted to do it on their own.

Margaret Myers

This could be the proudest moment for the stadium. There have been tens of thousands of people in here who could be on the street.

Robert Eckels

It's like the Yankee Stadium of rock 'n' roll. It's where you come to in New York if you're interested in rock 'n' roll music.

John Holmstrom

You have two ranked teams and I think this is the second-biggest stadium in the country.

Barry Alvarez

It wasn't the greatest race for me but I was just happy to get through and not hurt anything, ... But it was great to come out and get a feel for the stadium and for the track. I just hope there's not as much rain tomorrow. There was a lot of indecisiveness on whether we would run or not but I just tried to keep warm and stay professional about it.

Perdita Felicien

[Game 5 drew 92,706 fans, the largest crowd to witness a Series game, in the misshapen stadium.] What I remember about that is feeling scared looking at the [short] fence in leftfield, ... I think my mother and father were in the 156th row looking down. You're just hoping you don't embarrass yourself in front of all those people.

Bob Shaw

We want the crowd to come out and prove the banner the Sydney players displayed (thanking the 'best fans') incorrect. If we don't sell out the stadium this week we never will.

Michael Petrillo

AT&T is proud to be the hometown communications company for Greater St. Louis and the official communications company of the Cardinals. We are excited about the new AT&T brand in St. Louis, and we look forward to celebrating opening day in the new Busch Stadium with the Cardinals.

Bill Lane

That first win against Kelso was a huge confidence builder. To win in that stadium against that program, a program we have a ton of respect for, it got us going all season long.

Jason Castro

We were walking along the fan fest they were having and it looked it was going to be one of those perfect evenings, ... On our way back to the stadium the snow started flaking. We were laughing about how long this could last in Shreveport. By the end of the night, it wasn't a laughing matter.

Larry Templeton

Once we have a new stadium, it will energize the athletes in Minnesota, the coaches in Minnesota, so that it will help recruiting next year. Even though it won't be there next year, that class will play in it.

Joel Maturi

The extra money to build the stadium basically comes from visitors. That's a really smart thing to do because the more attractions you have, the more people you bring in.

Jim Tocco

A lot of people thought I didn't like St. Louis. I loved it. Don't get me wrong. I loved Oakland. But the year I had in St. Louis - with the fans, the city and the baseball atmosphere - was so much fun. What could be better than that? It's a great team moving into a new stadium. I can't say enough about the situation.

Mark Mulder

It was a real honor to have our leagues recognized in the stadium.

Al Roberts

We're trying to service different fans. We're trying to offer complementary coverage. When ABC comes on, ESPN will take a hard turn and go deep into the X's and O's. ESPN will dive in and dissect the game. Plus, they have reports from the stadium every 20 minutes.

Norby Williamson

If the money wasn't going into the stadium fund, there would just be a general-fund payment into the operating fund, ... The bills need to be paid.

William Griffith

Busch Stadium was fine. The playing surface was fine and the atmosphere was always outstanding. Those fans know their baseball. If there is a good play - even by the other team - they'll cheer.

Damian Miller

It wasn't really the lights, it's more or less the stadium. I have to get used to seeing the ball come out of the second deck. Everywhere I've played so far the balls have come out of the open sky.

Chris Roberson

The buildings to be demolished include the Parks Rugby Club building and training facilities, the bowling club premises and all other buildings which are on the site of the stadium.

Lourens Schoeman

Look what we've accomplished so far this year. We're pretty much filling the stadium every night with a team that has only won two games. This is pretty much unheard of in the CFL. This is a sign of the completion of the initial phase of this project . . . The fact David can step out this early is a huge compliment to what he has achieved.

Bob Young

We've got a good mentality when we play on the road. It's never easy to come in to Crew Stadium and get a win, so this was big for us. We might have 56 straight days on the road, but it doesn't bother us.

Dave Sarachan

We would rather not maintain the new stadium if we didn't have to.

Tim Mckee

We're probably going to do something, whether it's at the stadium or (at UH) ... I'll be meeting with Herman (athletic director Frazier) and (assistant A.D.) John McNamara.

June Jones

They did a lot of the prep work for lights when they renovated the stadium the last time. There will still be some things that need to be done but that was real foresight by this university to put those plans into work.

Dave Heeke

It's the best stadium in the world -- daylight second.

Dean Jones

I'm against playing it in cold weather. But that wasn't the decisive reason Phoenix got the game. It was the new stadium and the weather that that area enjoys at that time of year. That's what decided my vote.

Ralph Wilson

I did see Mickey hit one that almost cleared the roof in right field, ... There's a facade hanging down, and he hit one one night, and it bounced off near the facade. And according to legend, no fair ball has ever been hit out of Yankee Stadium.

Bob Sheppard

After lengthy and cordial negotiations, we have reached an agreement that will keep the Rock Cats in New Britain for a very long time. We take pride in our stadium and in the Rock Cats organization, which has been a great partner for our community.

Mayor Timothy Stewart

I think (Georgia) knows the kind of team that's coming their way and it's not a team that's not gonna come 100%, ... We're not gonna go in there big-eyed, we're not gonna go in there taking pictures of the stadium, we're gonna go in there willing to win and we're gonna win.

Alex Guerrero

I think it looks to be an outstanding stadium.

Chris Bucknam

I might be biased but the Millennium Stadium is about the best in Europe. The closeness of the city centre to the stadium itself makes for a brilliant atmosphere and everyone is near the action on the pitch as well.

Jonathan Davies

This course is considered the Yankee Stadium of our sport. It will be a great experience.

Len Klepack

What we do have over at the stadium is only suitable for a brief meeting at pre-game and halftime. Both the home and visitors teams have to go from this building (Leggett & Platt Athletic Center) to that building.

Sallie Beard

The games were centered at Francis Field, which had the first concrete stadium in the U.S. and Francis Gymnasium, the most modern gym in the world at the time.

Mary Hendron

If you build a smaller stadium, not only is it more fun to watch the game, it creates scarcity.

Roger Noll

It was good to get out there and prove we could get the job done, ... ... I was pleased about how things went when it was a close game. We need to look at what went wrong and prepare for UNLV (Sept. 24 at Romney Stadium).

Leon Jackson

In football terms, this is another first down for the Gopher football stadium.

Sen. Geoff Michel

The Washington Redskins are thrilled to offer fans an easy-to-use and convenient contactless payment solution, in addition to providing rewards. Fans benefit from an enhanced in-stadium experience through quicker transactions at on-site merchants and the ability to get back to their seats in a timely fashion.

Mike Stevens

It wasn't as good a throw as the one I did at Shea Stadium; it was a little high, ... This was more of an English cricket throw than a pitch. I was throwing it a little high on purpose to show them I had a different pitch than the one I did at Shea Stadium. It just dropped about 10 feet too late.

Dan Wheldon

We are very excited about our partnership with Build-A-Bear Workshop. The new stadium gives the Cardinals a great opportunity to expand the different amenities we are able to offer our fans.

Vicki Bryant

The format was not that critical, because we realize the freeholders were not bound by mandate to act on a petition of this nature anyway. We simply wanted to drive home the idea that the voting taxpayers of Middlesex County want a choice of how their money is spent when it comes to an extravagance like a baseball stadium.

Andrew Tidd

The Mets as a young and competitive club, and as a brand, are on the rise -- with a new network partner and stadium on deck, ... Joining the team at this juncture is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a role in diversifying and growing the connection of the Mets to current fans, new fans and partners.

David Newman

Everything that can be seen as offensive to others, whether chants or a product, are banned in the stadium. And we find this product extremely offensive.

Frank Huizinga

This show will be another opportunity for me to engage in the back-and-forth debates on sports that, until now, Luke and I have limited to the stadium.

James Carville

I've looked at facilities all over the country. And I think they will find our stadium is one of the best for soccer anywhere.

Dave Maggard

It does move around every year, but this year we decided to use the stadium because it has grown so much. We made 5,000 [free] tickets available online and they were sold out in a matter of hours.

Bonnie Grant

The game was still something of a novelty, ... There were still some quizzical looks as we entered the stadium. Today, what I see is a much deeper understanding of the game, a much greater appreciation for the game.

Paul Tagliabue

It will be a fantastic tournament and we are sure we will have a full stadium when they play.

Colm Mcloughlin

They're going to work as long as they can on Monday. They will also secure all possible projectiles around the stadium and batten down all other construction and equipment around the stadium for the storm.

Herb Vincent

The crowd was unbelievable. We're in Athens and yet half the stadium seemed crammed with British.

Chris Hoy

It wouldn't be a stadium type of a thing.

Dan Kaiser

I say that from some personal knowledge and from the historical perspective of nothing happening in South Florida to get a stadium deal done.

Marc Ganis

Joe T. is a smart guy and he's going to prepare and he's going to be ready to play, ... We've just got to get him to relax and not feel like he's got to make things happen for us to win. It's a big game. When you walk up in the stadium, you can tell it's a special environment.

Mike Bobo

They're so excited. Friday the goals got moved down there and they were all wanting to go down. … They're very excited to get it open, to start playing on it. Because it plays a little different than even our football stadium. It's a little bit longer of a turf, so it's nice.

Kris Henry

The knock on Ohio State and coach Cooper is that we couldn't win the big game. But I think we showed that would could by beating the No. 5 team, and doing it in their stadium. It might be bragging, but I think we have the best offensive line and the best defense in the country.

Stanley Jackson

I'm planning on seeing a couple of games at Spartan Stadium in the fall.

Tom Megyesi

In better conditions, on a faster and better National Stadium track, he could break it.

Jermaine Shand

Going forward, I picked this stadium specifically because it can hold 54,000 people. If we bring the right talent and get involved in the community, I think we'll get the numbers up.

Nick Logan

About an hour before kick-off we went out to take a look at the ground and there were maybe 40,000 fans already there in the stadium, and the feeling was hostile.

Ally Mccoist

The crack of a bat sounded amplified in cavernous Yankee Stadium, sprinkled lightly with fans on a cool September evening.

William E. Geist

It looks like everything came through the storm very well. Obviously we have to speak with the guys who do the work when they get back. But from the standpoint of us eyeballing the stadium and the grounds around it, it's in as good a shape as can be expected.

Dan Radakovich

All of the Mets road wins against the Dodgers this year occurred at Dodger Stadium.

Ralph Kiner

With the fan support that we have in this stadium, in this city and in this state, we are going to be the most attractive team for free agency whether we have a salary cap or no salary cap. We have the resources to compete either way. Just tell us what the rules are and we'll play by them.

Bruce Allen

It's important that we have the energy and excitement and environment in our stadium that creates a homefield advantage for us.

Mike Bohn

Some of the guys have never stepped foot in a big-league stadium. It's an exhibition game and more of a test for everybody involved in Busch Stadium, so it serves a purpose in both ways.

Danny Sheaffer

I don't want to hate on history, ... I don't want to disrespect anybody. But a stadium's a stadium. I don't care if we're in the Rose Bowl or a high school stadium, I don't care. History is great but history's not going to help you win a game.

Dan Howell

The stadium wasn't the best, and the lights weren't the best. Wallis hit the ball by the lights. And nobody ever saw the ball come down. So they gave him a home run. What else are you going to do? It was one of the strangest things I ever saw.

Bruce Sutter

I've heard it's a great college environment. It's a loud stadium. The fans are into it. It's a tough place to play. That's what I've heard.

Chan Gailey

It's difficult to fathom not having that stadium sold out, ... I think our dilemma is what to do with overflow. One million dollars (to hurricane relief) is very achievable. We can do that.

Lisa Love

My hero's, my dreams, and my future lie in Yankee Stadium and they can't take that from me.

Derek Jeter

We're very comfortable the stadium will be packed on game day.

Pete Abitante

You have to give Perry credit. This was like playing at (Duke University's) Cameron Indoor Stadium. Perry's fans made it a tough and exciting atmosphere. But we kept our composure.

Matt Creamer

The idea is to have everything done before the team needs the stadium again for next season.

John Loffredo

I want to go the whole way to Omaha. I really think we have a good shot at winning the Big Ten. If we win the Big Ten, I think we'll host the playoffs in the new stadium, so that's what I'm looking forward to.

Alan Stidfole

They're renowned for the best stage show. There was a question whether the stage would fit through the tunnel at Scott Stadium-- 13 by 11 feet. Everything has to go through that tunnel.

Tres Thomas

[The Dodgers are not out of this thing by any measure. This was only Game 1, after all, in this best-of-five NLDS. After a day off, the teams play again Thursday night at Busch Stadium before heading to L.A. for Game 3 on Saturday.] We lost the game, ... We haven't lost the series.

Odalis Perez

In my evaluation of the guy, I think he has really good mechanics and good velocity on the ball, which is a big thing when you play in a stadium that has a lot of wind like (the Jets) do. I think it was a good pick. I'd be really surprised if he doesn't end up being a pretty good player for them.

Gil Brandt

It was one of the greatest days of my life to be there in the stadium and to win that gold medal.

Chantal Petitclerc

A fuse blew at Shea Stadium, causing us to lose power. It was for less than a full inning. We addressed the situation immediately and we apologize to our viewers for the inconvenience.

Andrew Fegyveresi

Nobody bought land around RFK. Everybody bought land around [the stadium site] in Southeast. The stadium site in Southeast stretches the development of the city. RFK has been there for 25 or 30 years, and there's no development happening around there. You don't want baseball to happen in an island.

Jeff Neal

Imagine scoring a touchdown and the Northern Lights in the shopping center lights up and comes into the stadium.

David Murphy

It's a great experience to play here, ... I just wish it was Fulton County [Stadium]. I don't know what it is about Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. I guess maybe [I like it] because it's the first stadium I went to. Plus, I like those circle stadiums. It's open but old, kind of like Busch Stadium, Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium.

Todd Coffey

In reality they are just another three points. But to win in their stadium would be a huge psychological boost and would give us great self-belief.

David Albelda

We would have to have a year trialing the new stadium through Super 14 before the World Cup.

John Alexander

My teammates told me that it's a hot rivalry. Everyone is prepared for it, though. We're hoping that the stadium will be crowded, and we'll come out flying like we did today.

Yannick Reyering

This was a very important game in a stadium that I know well and I managed to score two goals.

Andrea Pirlo
