Live Sports At Spinningfields

Fixtures and the calendarPublished 1 September 2009

A free screen in a city-centre square is the cheapest sports venue a council can put on, and this entry is the archive’s only example of one — a summer of screenings in an office-district plaza, with a film night on the quiet weekday.

It belongs in a sporting diary for the same reason a stadium does: on the right afternoon it is where the crowd actually is. How a city handles those crowds is the subject of Matchday.
