Real Madrid's stadium

[ptlyon]

Rap concerts?

[Dunerdr]

**** Soccer!

Is there a fake Madrid? Or?

Pretty impressive. Looks like a nightmare to maintain.

An oversized elevator?
Why?

Are we doing this?

Just off the top of my head.
Perhaps it is the dividing up and moving the field into six longitudinal trays of 107 x 12 meters, each weighing 1500 tons, with numerous trolleys and miles of hydraulics, dropping them 24 meters, putting them in perfect UV conditions with irrigation systems, drainage all with fully automated systems and complex electrical controls.
I mean what could go wrong?

I guess I have been exposed to bigger projects, as this is no oversized elevator used to get the beer to the basement. It will take preventative maintence and redundancy to keep this thing operational.

It is very cool and a feat of engineering.

Vertical grows are everywhere.
Work, sure.
Nightmare is a little much.

1 tray or 6 it's the same process.

What a waste just to play soccer.

It is also for faking injuries and something called "Nil Nil".

Considering they play 90 minutes on both offense and defense, the occasional fake injury to get your team a breather still pales in comparison to 15 minutes breaks in the NFL so we can run a bunch of commercials.

Think about it this way, Tyreek hill is actually in motion for maybe 40 seconds of a 7 or 8 play drive that takes up 4-5 minutes of actual game time.

Christiano Ronaldo is in motion probably 3.5 minutes in the same 4-5 minutes, playing both offense and defense.

No timeouts
No substitutions when you're "tired"
No standing breaks between plays

Bullshit. You think Hill runs a route and then just stands still in place until the next play? He has to jog back to the huddle, jog to where he lines up for the next play, and sometimes go in motion before the snap.

Watch any soccer player and tell me they don’t take “breaks”. When the ball is on the opposite side of the pitch they will walk slowly or literally stand motionless for stretches of time.

In yesterday's game, Jude Bellingham was recorded as running 15km

All the suites have giant beds for the all male orgies because soccer is gay

Very cool.

At first glance I figured this was just a billionaire owner vanity project to show off to his friends but apparently Real Madrid is owned by about 90,000 fans who vote for things like the team president so they probably had to have voted on this.
