Wow 500 seats!
A high school in the United States had two stadiums for the high school sports teams: one for football with 5000 seats and one for track and field with 5000 seats.
Aren't you ashamed? - A municipal stadium for a city that in a few years will serve as a city of 40 residents with 500 seats?! How is it even possible for me to own something like this?!
