“It was an emotional night, an extraordinary moment, ... I wish Dad was there to touch and feel the stadium, but I think he might be with me now more than ever.”
Cal Ripken
“To live in this single moment, this lightest breath, this softest touch, to be captured by this smallest, this briefest space of time, to be fully present, alive, consumed in this instant alone, this is truly living.”
Jill Hanna
“The whole feel of the stadium is different than a lot of other stadiums.”
Paul Tonti
“If we turn the clock forward five years or so I really would wish to see the stadium classified as one of the finest in the north of England, capable of hosting international matches at all levels, but at the same time creating and becoming an integral part of the life of the community.”
Kevin McCabe
“Three ownership groups tried to secure a stadium unsuccessfully. Meanwhile, a dozen other new stadiums have been built.”
Jeffrey Loria
“It's very impressive. At the moment I would say Munich is the most beautiful stadium ... but once this is finished I think it will be stadium number one in the world.”
Franz Beckenbauer
“Lots of places built new stadiums because their old stadiums are economically obsolete. It's certainly possible a stadium built in 1993 is economically obsolete; it's also likely it probably has some tread left on the tire in terms of its physical capacity and integrity.”
