[edit] Added Information about 12th November Fire

I added information about a fire that broke out near the stadium on the 12th November 2007 - article is here:[[1]]

I perhaps expect this will become a seperate article anyway if the fire continues. DBAlex 15:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The fire (an abandoned warehouse, due for demolition) is almost definitely non-notable. Lots of good pictures for the news people, but by tomorrow, will not be of interest. Only possibility of something meriting inclusion is if the rumours of asbestos are true and people are injured (hope not of course). Furthermore, it's not on the stadium site, more like the Multi-sport arenas. Paulbrock 18:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the section. I don't think it's noteworthy and even if it is, this isn't the right page for it. Paulbrock 12:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticsms

Unless I have missed it elsewhere on Wikipedia, I am surprised that the criticisms of the design of the main building have not been included here. I have not included the public response - which, from some of the articles I have read, have been less than positive. Johnny.d2007 15:50, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the addition - I think we need some more sources though - to say "critics claim that:" when the source is an editorial with one person's opinion, may be pushing it. Paulbrock (talk) 19:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
