:idea: Stadium names

[Oki]

Well,
In Brazil, the stadium is something very special, it's the magic behind the team performance on the field, the twelveth player. Well, i'd like to suggest to add Stadium name on country files.

An example of this is the Maracanã. This stadium is a symbol of Football for people who lives in Rio de Janeiro, and they says, our teams play better when play in Maracanã.

Maybe, we could add also a variable to describe the tradition of some stadiums. Famous stadiums like La Bombonera(Boa Juniors), Morumbi(São Paulo), Maracanã, "Wembley" and Santiago Bernabéu(Real Madrid) could have this difference.

e.g:

Code: Select all

<team>
      <team_name>Real Madrid</team_name>
      <stadium influence=1>Santiago Bernabéu</stadium>
</team>
<team>
      <team_name>Santos</team_name>
      <stadium influence=0>Vila Belmiro</stadium>
</team>

I think, this kind of difference, could be used on Live games also. The live game could start with this text:

Welcome to legendary Stadium Santiago Bernabéu.
The sun is shine, and Real Madrid will play boosted today.
People comes from everywhere for this important match.

The influence will be positive if the home team have more time with ball, but it's negative if away team do the first goal. The influence will be neutral if the time with ball difference is in the range of 5%.

Well, it's another idea for next releases. Influence could be modify just the text on live games and not the game, but, i'd like to see the stadium name on fixtures, live game texts and team information.

a nice idea (and you're right, definitely something for a future release, not for 1.9.0). the biggest problem i see is that the stadium names could be protected. i'm not sure why i could use stadium names if i may not use team names.
