San Mames, Bilbao
Situated in the Basque Country, Spain, San Mames opened in 2013, replaced the old stadium with the same name as the home of Athletic Club.
It holds 53,331 people, making it the largest stadium in Basque Country, and is nicknamed ‘La Catedral’, which as I’m sure you can imagine, translates into English as ‘the cathedral’.
As they welcome one of the biggest (historically, at least) clubs in the world today, expect the congregation gathered to approach its full capacity. And the choir will probably be in full voice too!

Drake Maye ‘pumped’ about Patriots adding Will Campbell, new faces on offense
Drake Maye was watching the NFL Draft when he heard offensive lineman Will Campbell say in his first interview, after being selected No. 4 overall by the New England Patriots, that he’d “fight and die to protect” the young quarterback.“That gets the juices going,” Maye told reporters Thursday in his first news conference since the season ended. “It makes you want to go out there and play football now. (I’m) pumped that we picked Will.”AdvertisementA lot has changed since Maye was last behind the lectern at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots cleaned out the coaching staff, replacing Jerod Mayo with Mike Vrabel. He has a new offensive coordinator in Josh McDaniels. And the roster around him on offense looks wildly different thanks to the addition of Campbell at left tackle, Garrett Bradbury at center, Morgan Moses at right tackle, TreVeyon Henderson […]
How sports card shows are benefitting from the explosion in demand for Pokemon cards
Pokémon cards have exploded in value in the past year similar to the growth of sports cards early in the pandemic. The result is a shift at card shows that once typically were the sole province of sports memorabilia.The question is whether Pikachu and Charizard can coexist at dealer tables next to Mickey Mantle and Shohei Ohtani.AdvertisementA survey of card collectors in 2024 showed trading card game (TCG)/Pokémon collecting was 30 percent of the market. But that figure seems likely to continue to grow. Note that according to GemRate, which tracks graded card populations, the vast majority of cards graded today are TCG. In a recent seven-day sample in late April, TCG accounted for 70% of all graded cards — and nearly all of that was Pokémon.“It’s trending more Pokémon overall now,” said Deb Nexon, promoter of the Morris County […]

What percentage of starters are rookies? I had questions, so I did some digging.

CBS Sports analyst and former NFL player Leger Douzable believes it will."I'm saying it right now, I believe the Cardinals will win the NFC West… This is gonna be a dangerous team next year," Douzable said on CBS Sports HQ Wednesday.
