About: Lagos National Stadium   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

On the edge Surulere District, Lagos This stadium was built almost 100 years ago and, after football games were moved to a newer stadium in Abuja in 2002, it was left to rot. Over the years, it has been used as a warren for squatters, as a hideout for area boys and for odd religious cults. Recently, a group of area toughs have taken over, believed to be backed by a disreputable Hawala Clan (reports vary on who exactly is responsible). It has become a combat arena, used mainly for melee bloodsports (although occasional events focused on firearm skills are featured). Gambling has become a huge profit-maker for the clan, and observers varying from bored locals to wealthy foreigners attend and lose or win naira on their favorites. A matrix-based video feed is also available, heavily encrypted

  • On the edge Surulere District, Lagos This stadium was built almost 100 years ago and, after football games were moved to a newer stadium in Abuja in 2002, it was left to rot. Over the years, it has been used as a warren for squatters, as a hideout for area boys and for odd religious cults. Recently, a group of area toughs have taken over, believed to be backed by a disreputable Hawala Clan (reports vary on who exactly is responsible). It has become a combat arena, used mainly for melee bloodsports (although occasional events focused on firearm skills are featured). Gambling has become a huge profit-maker for the clan, and observers varying from bored locals to wealthy foreigners attend and lose or win naira on their favorites. A matrix-based video feed is also available, heavily encrypted, to foreigners who do not wish to attend personally. Local bets go up to 1000 naira, but private arrangements with the clan open up almost unlimited betting. It is said that this location was chosen, in part, because it is so difficult for mages to cheat. Other methods of cheating and bribes are rampant, either encouraged or ignored by the organizing clan. Most popular are the no-holds-barred matches, where approximately half the matches result in the death of one contestant or another, often so drugged up or desperate not to care. Lower divisions are considerably safer. Free-for-all battles happen about once a week, with the last person standing taking the pot. Although most competitors are anonymous, the serious, upper division matches are closely followed by their fanswho record their stats and boast of their exploits. * Great fun to take out my bat’leth, pay my five naira and join in!* Valkriss. * I heard that you lost your last five.
