Just look up this day 40 years ago in Scotland.

The introduction of the escalator?

Not to be Andries and all "That would never happen in Belgium," but it does strike me as odd that we never hear about the legacy of crushing stadium deaths here in the States. WTF has been in your water the past 50 years? To an outsider like myself, that stuff seems as common as bad European discos.

Complacency on the part of the clubs and authorities meant that up to the seventies in the UK, stadiums had probably barely changed since they were built up to 100 years earlier, which was before safety was really considered.

Maybe building new stadiums more often was trendier in American, or maybe American sports got going in a big way a bit later, so didn't have the potential for stadia to become antiquated to quite the same extent prior to proper regulations being put in place.

I am a frequent critic of this whacked out country of mine. But what I don't understand is how we've hosted millions of college and professional football matches over the past century, and we have none of this.

American football, at the pro and collegiate level, has attracted regular matches of fans in the five, if not six, figures since the late 1800s. And in weird places, like Lincoln, Nebraska -- not exactly industrial centers of urban planning and enlightenment. And yet we've had none of these incidents.

I find it hard to believe that some podunk college town in Nebraska built a 80,000+ stadium in 1923 and managed to have no incidents because their safety designs were decades ahead of those built in Scotland, England, and the rest of Europe. There's got to be a cultural element to this.
