World Cup Stadium Trivia
Name all the stadiums that have hosted both the championship match of the FIFA World Cup and the track and field events of the Olympics. Click on "Comments" for the answer.
Note that Estadio Azteca in Mexico City and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles (Pasadena, actually) both hosted soccer events during the 1960 and 1984 Olympics respectively, but neither stadium hosted the track and field events at those Olympics. Instead, those events were held at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario (1968) and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (1984).
I'm an avid international traveller, a huge fan of the Red Sox and Patriots, a political libertarian-conservative, and a reality television addict. I think very highly of myself and sincerely believe that you should feel the same way.
