Why is d place in a stadium where spectators sit , called a STAND?

Back in the good old days, most people used to stand! \nThe trouble was that it only needed a few people at the back to push and you could get a lot of people at the front injured. \nTo facilitate easier crowd control, many "stands" became all seater stadiums.

A velodrome is a stadium, usually indoor, where cycling races take place. Unlike an ordinary race where all the competitors start and finish on the same line, velodromes allow for cyclists to start at opposite sides so that they don't interfere with each other. At the very fast speeds they travel it would be easy for a serious accident to take place, hence this ruling. Team races start together. The reason for the enclosed space is so that external influences, such as high wind speeds, do not affect either the speed that the cyclists travel at or the risk of blowing one into another.

because they stand, you sit

At a ball park, it might mean there is a pole in front of your seat, so you cannot see the whole field.\n\nAt a theatre, the speakers or a wall might block your view of some of the stage.

I think that that stands for Floor General Admission- that means that you don't have a specific seat.  All people who have tickets for that area just sit where they want/ first come first serve.  Maybe it is standing only, but they usually have seats on the floor.  Happy birthday!

My guess would be the scalpers around the stadium. The one's with the signs "need tickets".\n\nPeace

The kick-off counts as a free kick at which opposition have to be 10 yards away from the ball. The centre circle is of 10 yds radius and the opposition are not allowed to encroach within it at a kick off.\nThe "D"  is an arc of a circle of radius 10 yds with the centre at the penalty spot. It is there to ensure that all players are 10yds from the spot when penalty shot is taken. I believe that Major Buckley, the then manager of W.B.A., realised that  there was a small part of the pitch outside  "the area" that was within 10 yds of the penalty spot and so the "D" was added to the pitch markings to ensure that no player was within 10 yds at the time the penalty was taken.

They do it to tell the center that they are ready for the snap, because it may be really noisy in the stadium they are playing at

generally this means two things: the arena is older, and they need a new arena to put in "club seats" seats that are off limits to regular ticket buyers and the ones who do buy them pay an upfront fee to the team for the priviledge of those seats and then the buyers of those privledged seats have to pay again for the tickets, so the team in essence gets paid two times for the seats, once for the privledge of owning the club seats and a second fee for the tickets them selves. it boosts revenue for the team twice over

Because they are passionate about LSU football.  Also, many stadiums try to get the acoustics just right so they are louder; thereby intimidating the other team and not allowing their calls to be heard.

When you say "site," do you mean a venue where they play? If so, you might need to ask again. Include the state.

Q: Why is the foul pole called the foul pole when it is actually in fair territory?\n\nA: Good question. Contrary to common knowledge, the foul pole was named over something having nothing to do with the ball being in play or not. When the early designers of stadiums put these unnamed (at this point) poles up to help make calls on deep drives, they often became perches for area ducks and geese who found the lofty location a great way to spot food sources below. It wasn't long before these home run honkers started becoming a menace by leaving their calling cards on unprotected outfielders. Although stadium owners eventually hired sharpshooters to scatter the unwanted visitors, the nature of their specimen and the odor they left behind made "fowl" pole a perfect fit (The spelling was later changed to "foul").\n\nhttp://www.whitecaps-baseball.com/PRESSBOX/FEATURE2000/berkey2.html
