Stadiums & city size

[Baldy's Boss]

Behold adjacent communities with about a 75-1 population ratio...yet each has a soccer stadium of the same size,nearly next to each other.
Is there no way to make the fields more proportional?

[roadrunner]

Yeah sure...Use the dynamite on the one in the smaller town. Problem solved.

Didn't you know that OpenTTD takes place in an alternative reality where a Communist FIFA took over the world and sponsored uniform stadiums to the working classes across the globe...?

Aston, near Birmingham

• Population: ~28,000
• Stadium: Villa Park (Aston Villa)
• Capacity: 43,000

Birmingham (City only, not West Midlands Conurbation)

• Population: ~1 million
• Stadium: St Andrews (Birmingham City)
• Capacity: 30,000

Ratio: 35:1

-------------

Stretford, Greater Manchester

• Population: 37,000
• Stadium: Old Trafford (Manchester United)
• Capacity: 76.000

Manchester (City only, not Greater Manchester))

• Population: 500,000
• Stadium: City of Manchester Stadium
• Capacity: 50,000 (although currently reduced during expansion work)

Ratio: 14:1

But both these cases have the bigger stadium in the smaller town notice that your smaller town is attached, just like in these cases. OpenTTD = highly realistic.
