Portuguese SL Benfica's stadium "Estádio da Luz" literally means "Stadium of Light" in english language. It's not a nickname! It's the exactly same name, and i can't see why this article is only about Sunderland's stadium.
- I believe "Estadio da Luz" is an unofficial name, even though "Stadium of Light" may be an accurate translation (I don't know if Luz means "light" in Portuguese as it does in Spanish, however).
[edit] Wayward parenthesis
I edited this orginial text:
- A sign at one of the Stadium gates by the West Stand reads "INTO THE LIGHT" (the other reads "FOR US ALL"; the same words were found on a famous sign at the exit to the main elevator of the Monkwearmouth Colliery. The gates (now nicknamed "the Murray gates") have become a bone of contention amongst fans, when they were closed to prevent protests outside the stadium's main offices during 2006 against director Bob Murray.
The parenthesis were mismatched so some fix was needed, but I may have inadvertantly changed the meaning. I took that "INTO THE LIGHT" and "FOR US ALL" were both "found on a famous sign at the exit to the main elevator of the Monkwearmouth Colliery," hence there was no need for the "FOR US ALL" clause to be parenthesized. If I've changed the meaning, please fix it but without reverting to mismatched parens. Thanks, PhilipR 06:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What map?
"Away fans are usually seated the west side of the South Stand (The area coloured brown on the adjacent map)."
There is no map of the stadium in the article.
