Roadies, Stadium of Light
Concert season at the stadium and preparations are being made for Rhianna. Time to find that bunker around another planet.
The name of the stadium is actually original. The Lisbon example is a poor press pun on the name of Luz, a suburb.

Miner's lamp, Stadium of Light, Sunderland
Close to the new stadium, and the adjacent swimming pool, was the Pemberton Pit (see http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/w001.htm ) which for years boasted the deepest mine shaft in the world at 1794'. The miner's lamp is therefore a pertinent symbol of Sunderland's past.

Stadium of Light
Home of Sunderland AFC, as seen from the opposite bank of the River Wear.
The stadium takes its name to reflect the mining heritage from the former Monkwearmouth Colliery upon which the structure stands. Nothing to do with the Estadio Da Luz in Lisbon, home of Benfica, then !
Opened in 1997 to replace the stadium at Roker Park, with a capacity of 49,000.

Monkwearmouth Station Museum, Sunderland
Photographed on 3rd March 2005 using an Olympus 400 Digital during a sunny spell following a light snow fall. Monkwearmouth Station Museum is managed by Tyne and Wear Museums on behalf of the City of Sunderland. It is a Grade 2* listed building and one of, if not the, finest examples of architecture in Sunderland. Built in 1848 as the terminus station for the Brandling Junction Railway it closed to passenger traffic in 1967 and became a museum in 1973. It is currently undergoing refurbishment and is due to re-open late in 2006.
