It is mainly for Soccer but used for some other events, apparently it hosted England v Ireland in the Churchill Cup (Rugby).

I guess there are certain economics of building a stadium, if it is too small you miss the opportunity to host
certain events.

It is actually the second smallest by 86!

Some of the MSL stadiums have actually artificially reduced their capacity apparently (to 20,000)

A 4th regular season game winning net buster for Kevin "clutch" Doyle. What an addition to the roster he's been!

#DoyleRules

How pleased can Kevin Doyle be to be flying so far across the world when we all know he's our fourth best striker at best? Keane, Walters and Long will always be options ahead of him.

missed out on Colorado Rapids 3-1 loss to FC Toronto with an adductor strain

That is a tough injury to come back from - I had it myself, worst pain of my life. Poor guy. Is he out for the rest of the MLS season? Colorado are very pitiful anyway.

Could it rule him out of the Poland game?
If so who will replace him?

Opened the scoring tonight for Rapids with and assist from St Ledger. Great header

Good header from that distance, call him up Trap!!

That's some goal. Quinny would have been proud of that one.

Doyle told at last minute he wouldn't be needed for Poland.

Captaining Colorado Rapids away to DC United tonight, starting on Sky Sports 5 at 9

He posted a pic on Twitter of his injury.

Really NSFW. Really really.

That's looks awful but it's good news, just a flesh wound.

You can literally see his tendons and muscles.

It looks like something from The Walking Dead

That's no way to talk about Bonnie.

Rapids on Kevin Doyle's injury

He’s expected to spend at least 3-to-5 weeks recovering from the injury, according to Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni.
“It looked pretty bad but we anticipated it to be a lot worse as far as the time he’d be missing,” Mastroeni told MLSsoccer.com on Tuesday
