World sports stadiums
No matter where you go, you can see the profound impact sports have had on each nation. Rich or poor, big or small, every country on Earth has its own stadium where its favorite game is played. Sports are much more than a simple game, of course; in many instances, they are major cultural events that have the undivided attention of millions of individuals. Sometimes, people's entire identity are formed around their most beloved sports team and organization.
Every team and event needs a venue. While some of these stadiums are quaint and humble, others are astronomical in size. Costing hundreds of millions of dollars to make and often taking years to construct. The biggest stadiums in the world serve as shrines to the cultural phenomena that are sport and live entertainment.
