What is the largest capacity arena in the UK?
it was Old Trafford at 65,000 then Millenium Stadium Cardiff 70,000 New wembley is 80,000+ and Old Trafford now the corners have been opened up is nearer 100,000. Thames AFC played in the football league from 1928 to 1932 at the 120,000 capacity West Ham Stadium, purposely built for Greyhound and Speedway Racing. Their average gate was 2,469. The stadium was demolished in the early 70s. New Brighton Tower F.C played in the Football League from 1897 to 1901. Their ground capacity was 80,000, but averaged gates of c. 1000.
Odsal Stadium, home of Bradford Bulls Rugby League Club, held a crowd of 102,569 on 5 May 1954.
Wembley is actually 90,000. Not 100,000+.and old trafford is around 75,000. So Wembley Stadium is The BIGGEST stadium in the world!!!!
Actually Wembley is not even close to being the largest stadium in the world, the Azadi stadium in Tehran curently holds 100,000- seated. Wembley is CURRENTLY the largest stadium in the UK as it is an all seater, but previously standing grounds have held more. The record in Britain is officially Hampden Park with 149,415 in 1937. (White Horse final does not count as no registered attendance. FYI after Wembley, Twickenham has the largest seated cappacity at approx 80,000... I know it's Rugby. Interestingly the Maracana Stadium in Brazil once held 200,000+ during a final against Uraguay. See www.worldstadiums.com
Actually, the Rungrado May Day Stadium in North Korea has a seating capacity of 150,000, and is the largest non-motorsport stadium in the world. Basically, no other stadium, whether football or bullfighting, even comes close!

Which conference has the most NCAA final four basketball appearances in the past 20 years?
Thats a tricky question to answer as conferences have changed alot over the years. The Pac-10 hands down. UCLA alone holds 11 titles.....more than any other conference combined. Schools hold the championships, not conferences. So when a school switches conferences, or if a conference dissolves altogether....well, lets just say, its a moot question. Example....Miami holds their football championships....some as independant, some as a member of the Big East. Now that they are in the ACC....their next title will be there. A more correct question would be....which conference has the most schools with the most championships? Current schools in the Pac-10 combine to hold 15 NCAA titles in basketball. Pac-10 (15)
SEC - (10)
Big Ten - (10)
Big East - (10)
ACC - (10)
Big 12 - (4)

Who coined the basketball term March Madness?
March Madness is a popular term for season-ending basketball tournaments played in March (Brent Musburger is generally regarded as the individual who first used that phrase in conjunction with the college tournament, using it during CBS Sports' coverage of the tourney back in 1982 - see below), especially those conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and various state high school associations. The phrase was not associated with the college tournament in 1939, when an Illinois official wrote "A little March Madness [may] contribute to sanity." March Madness is also a registered trademark, held jointly by the NCAA and the Illinois High School Association. The trademark has sparked a pair of high-profile courtroom battles in recent years.
