Man, stadiums are nearly up there with golf courses as "useless applications of urban land" aren't they.

MODERATORS
Stadiums are ok, but they're usually surrounded by massive multiples worth of parking.
This. Here in Europe they usually have transit stops and (very) little parking (by American standards). In Bucharest they close down the whole Road anyway when there's a match.
Pretty sure a large green space is infinitely better for the health of a city than a stadium complex.
No wonder there's a housing crisis
They did San Jose and Sacramento like that, too. Destroyed the waterfronts and huge neighborhoods.
ASEAN countries have more or less similar problems as in America. It's so infuriating having to compete with other traffics while sitting on a bus, not withstanding with all the show-off kids that ride their fancy cars or motorcycles.
All according to plan
There's barely any city left
