Most stadiums in Germany are referred to as arena’s. They’re football stadiums. It’s just a German thing.
Yep. Allianz Arena is most definitely a stadium, and a bloody great one at that.
My first time at Gelsenkirchen was to see England knocked out of the 2006 World Cup.....40 years of hurt.

Although it's listed at 90k, I suspect it is higher?

The '34 bout with Jack Peterson is listed at 90k too.

My apologies to Banjo who had already highlighted Watt vs Davis at Ibrox on the thread. I remember that Davis had a long walk to the ring in pink shorts and dressing gown (not a good idea in Glasgow). Moreover, his disdain of Watt in the build-up meant that the flashy American received one of the worst receptions in British boxing history.
