Well, there is an expansion planned. Hoppefully, it will go according to plans

That would be some iconic stadium right here, albeit still small for a world championship (30K)

The stadium looks cool.   And I did hear about it. But I really don't think this city is capable of hosting such event.  But marathon will be gorgeous.   It's just a beautiful city and area of the country

In the old forum, we had a thread called "sports and tragedy"  (something like that), maybe it'll be better to revive it ?
