FLATHEAD STADIUM
Flathead Stadium, located just outside
Anthar to the north, is
supposedly large enough to hold every man, woman, and child in
Quendor.
The Stadium is often referred to as "The House That Babe Built," a
tribute to
Babe Flathead's popularity as a gate attraction. In fact
Dimwit Flathead ordered the construction of the stadium in 782
GUE in
Babe's honor. From that year onward a whole range of sporting events
were held in the stadium, including
Double Fanucci tournaments,
dragonfights, and
shark-wrestling, which led to Babe's death in 789.
This tragedy did not prevent the continuation of shark-wrestling every
weekend during the summer , which was said to be an exciting experience
if one who stomach the gore.
Admission to the Flathead Stadium to witness the shark-wrestling was a mere
Zm0.75 in 873 GUE.
