Other large countries don’t have university sports facilities?
Or giant stadiums for soccer, cricket, etc?
Other countries don’t have their universities compete in sports the way we do there in the U.S. I’m sure they have club sports, but they have no stadiums like University of Michigan stadium which can hold over 100,000 fans.
Collegiate sports, at least high level collegiate sports that can seat lots of spectators, is a very American thing. And of course with the number of colleges we have there’s TONS of those facilities. Other places have a couple of giant stadiums, but sports just is not as big a business in the rest of the world as it is here. We’re the only place with single metro areas that have multiple 70,000 seat + stadiums just there and ready to be used. We’re kind of crazy.
