Best Stadium Poems

Across open fields
       where birds and butterfly play
                  Soft and inviting
        Blue mountain range from...

In same brotherhood of fanship, all sit together as the representative
every field command to their favour gives the great feeling of an executive.

Stamping a noisy presence even when down is so brave
going further below despite this act is getting closer to the grave.

Hitting hard a...

My stomach is a stadium
give it little food it quarrels
much food it beats drums
little food it complains loudly
no food it throws stones
it shouts at me after meals
blows trumpet when satisfied
and plays saxophone when excited
A stranger thinks it a stadium
Old Trafford Stadium is my stomach
where fans...

It was the Nebraska Corn Huskers annual spring game
When near the end they called out Jack Hoffman's name
A seven year old boy on treatment break from a brain tumor
And today he was going to get the ball and run for an amazing score

Running onto the...

Dear Graduate,

… Sometimes, a spring breeze softly blowing 
whispers that a presence needn’t be seen to be felt … 
						
… And sometimes, the people piling onto the benches 
of packed bleachers sense that a sacred space 
is simultaneously filling … 				
							
… And often, clustered families...

It has been home to baseball’s New York Mets.
For a time, it also housed football’s New York Jets.
This is a place practically any New Yorker knows.
It was part of the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows.
This has been a spawning ground of sports history and more.
It...

I stared at all the jerseys
Worn by Yogi, Mickey, Lou,
The Babe and Derek Jeter,
Thurman Munson, Roger, too…

And I realized all these Yankees,
Those alive and those who’ve died,
Wore those uniforms, no matter when,
With dignity and pride.

For so many baseball players,
Playing ball was all they knew.
They were...

For thirty-three years,
you stood there in full view
to so may sightseers 
at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue.
South Philadelphia
was the site where you stood.
Sports memories were a plethora;
they were both bad and good.
To the Eagles you were home,
where there were many games of football.
From Franklin...

Babe, Mickey, Lou,
and all the rest of the
ghost of the past,
    did you hear?

Your home is coming
down soon, no more
games there for you
       to watch.

History there was
a marvel to read
about, just sorry
I never made it there.

Always a tough business: Tournament
But women take along ornament:
Old Testament's and New Testament's 
They put it on, they're in firmaments...

Now and again for rearmament
Why can't it be in tournament?

"Sure, football is played in stadiums
But last week, I was here for idioms;
Our resource persons on podium,
A...

The real mind-blowing tournament,
Her football cups prized ornament;
Leaving without one eyes hollow,
Avid fans cease to squad follow...

Tough strikers playing out their hearts
Defenders halting ball that darts:
It's about luck but chiefly skill,
During practice better self kill!

Player free to display sweet role,
But dismissed as freak,no scored goal
How...
