From the author of the acclaimed The Football Grounds of Britain .Every city has a stadium and every stadium has a story. In a stadium, be it a cathedral of sport or a collection of sheds, one can feel the mood of a nation or a community. The author, a self-confessed stadium addict, takes us on a world-wide stadium tour.
Simon Inglis self-deprecatingly refers to himself as a 'stadium expert'. You might have to be a stadium enthusiast yourself to fully appreciate this book, something of an existential discourse as the author analyses his field of expertise, and obsession from ancient Rome to the grounds of the future, and ponders what sports stadiums mean to us.
