The readers had a problem when it was announced here that the below-ground stadium in Qatar, called The Wall, wouldn’t get built. The halt means – media reported and I regurgitated – among the world’s stadiums, the only underground structure wouldn’t happen.
But soccer stadium aficionados reported a problem to me when media reported The Wall as the world’s lone underground stadium. Many stadiums start with digging a hole, they said. Really deep holes. They are all underground stadiums, is the point. And that’s right!
Can't be the world's first underground stadium.
