A modern stadium (plural stadiums/stadia) is a place or venue for (mostly) outdoor sports, concerts, or other events and consists of a field or stage either partly or completely surrounded by a structure designed to allow spectators to stand or sit and view the event.)
Pausanias noted that for about half a century the only event at the ancient Greek Olympic festival was the race that comprised one length of the stade at Olympia, where the word "stadium" originated.
"Stadium" comes from the Greek word "stadion" (στάδιον), a measure of length equalling the length of 600 human feet. As feet are of variable length the exact length of a stadion depends on the exact length adopted for 1 foot at a given place and time. Although in modern terms 1 stadion = 600 ft (180 m), in a given historical context it may actually signify a length up to 15% larger or smaller.
A Roman stadium was defined somewhat differently to be a distance of 125 passus (double-paces), equal to about 185 m (607 ft).
Although most dictionaries provide for both "stadiums" and "stadia" as valid plurals, etymological sticklers sometimes apply "stadia" only to measures of length in excess of 1 stadium. (That the "stadium" measurement is used only in historical contexts perhaps explains the sustained use of the archaic plural.)
Derek Sanderson Jeter ( /ˈdʒiːtər/; born June 26, 1974) is an American baseball shortstop who has played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. A five-time World Series champion, Jeter has been a central figure of the Yankees during their success of the 1990s and 2000s due to his clubhouse presence, on-field leadership, hitting ability, and baserunning. He is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits (3,155), games played (2,472), stolen bases (342), and at bats (10,066). His accolades include twelve All-Star selections, five Gold Glove Awards, four Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and the Roberto Clemente Award. Jeter is the all-time MLB leader in hits by a shortstop, and the 28th player to reach 3,000 hits.
The Yankees drafted Jeter out of high school in 1992, and he debuted in the major leagues in 1995. The following year, he became the Yankees' starting shortstop, won the Rookie of the Year Award, and helped the team win the 1996 World Series. Jeter continued to contribute during the team's championship seasons of 1998–2000; he finished third in voting for the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in 1998, recorded multiple career-high numbers in 1999, and won both the All-Star Game MVP and World Series MVP Awards in 2000. He has consistently placed among the AL leaders in hits and runs scored for the past ten years, and since 2003 has served as the Yankees' team captain.
Yeah yea
We've got a map of the world torn up
And your future's five bucks a pound
And I've seen your Mum with her knees pinned back
You'll pay everything to hear that sound
We drove a truck to the ranch of life
And came back with another brain
So shake your ass at the scene tonight
And open wide and let it drain
You'd better come down
Now I think you should
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
We've got a map of the world torn up
And your future's five bucks a pound
I've seen your Mum with her knees pinned back
You'll pay everything to hear that sound, baby
We drove a truck to the ranch of life
And came back with another brain
So shake your ass at the scene tonight
And open wide and let it drain
You'd better come down
Now I think you should
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You'd better come down
Now I think you should
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Another sunday is coming at the end of the same long busy week
6 days I've been waiting to get back to my favourite seat
try to understand that I need to get out some energy
that's why I act like a jailed man who just got free
get up and get your favourite shirt and go to meet your company
have a couple beers before going in the battlefield
people never get the reason that keeps us to get along
neither I but I don't care when I have fun
come on and sing along
we're going to the stadium
I love to watch my football team
