Oglethorpia - Kingsford World Cup 14 Bid Info
Oglethorpia and Kingsford for World Cup 14 hosts, to bring the Cup to the Emerald Heights.
All pertinent information to the Oglethorpia-Kingsford bid will be placed in this topic -- starting with information on the three Oglethorpian venues put forth for World Cup 14. Information on the five Kingsforder venues will come later.
Oglethorpian Stadiums
Amalgamated Stadium
Location: Megalopolis City
Capacity: 108,234
Year Built: 1964 (renovated 1984)
Home Club: Megalopolis City F.C.
In the heart of downtown Megalopolis City, Amalgamated Stadium is nestled in the quintessant manifestation of Oglethorpian capitalism -- fitting for the football stadium named after the largest corporation in the Bureaucratic States. It is truly a feat that the white-collar workers of Oglethorpia's largest/capital city can support their local football club as devoutly as they do with all that goes on in Megalopolis City. A conglomeration of skyscrapers and a series of multi-tiered highways, streets and raillines, Megalopolis City seems a faceless and uninviting urban area -- but it's citizens are some of the fiercest supporters of their sports programs in all of the Bureaucratic States.
Amalgamated Stadium didn't always go by that name. Days prior to World Cup 9, the company sponsoring it -- Kuruma Motor Co. -- was bought out by the Amalgamated Motor Division, and with the company assimilated, Kuruma Stadium became Amalgamated Stadium by default. A stadium that dated back to Oglethorpia's World Cup 4 days, Kuruma Stadium had fallen into grave disrepair following World Cup 8. Now just barely 20 years old, the-pitch-fomerly-known-as Kuruma Stadium was ready for a renovation so that it might be in suitable shape to play home to the Wonderteam's home games in World Cup 9 qualifying (WC9 marking the first appearance of a Oglethorpian national side under the moniker of "the Wonderteam.")
Debuting in time for World Cup 9, Amalgamated Stadium saw its press boxes, eateries, general seating areas and pitch gutted clean -- to be replaced with brand-spankin' new facilities. Fans hardly noticed the 10 Little Shiny Credits they spent on beers and other overpriced foodstuffs -- the smell of a new, clean sporting facility was back, harking back to the days of World Cup 4 when Kuruma Stadium was first built. Whereas Amalgamated Stadium's precursor only seated just under 90,000 fans, the newly renovated Amalgamated Stadium seated a little over 108,000.
That was in 1984 -- and twenty years later, Amalgamated Stadium's maintenance crew remains devoted to refusing to allow the stadium to slip into disrepair like it did following World Cup 8. Truly a world-class venue, Amalgamated Stadium is frequented by the dominating club Megalopolis City F.C. while the Oglethorpian Wonderteam isn't making use of the stadium during World Cup qualifying before sold-out crowds.

Consolidated Stadium
Location: Polyesterhampton
Capacity: 104,761
Year Built: 1993
Home Club: Polyesterhampton F.C.
Consolidated Stadium is the newest of all the stadiums in the Bureaucratic States, with the inception of the Polyesterhampton F.C. football club in 1993 backed by rich Consolidated Industries financiers. As such, a good portion of money would be put forth to build the new club a state-of-the-art stadium that rivals Amalgamated Stadium in size -- just under 4,000 people short in capacity. The horseshoe-shaped Consolidated Stadium sits outside the suburbs of Polyesterhampton.
Polyesterhampton has been the smallest city in Oglethorpia for a great time -- after all, a city on an island south of the Oglethorpian mainland isn't an easy move to make. Its citizens don't mind though -- their city is home to the biggest food production company in all of the Bureaucratic States. That's as far as industry in Polyesterhampton goes; the city is mostly surburban sprawl and agriculture to support Consolidated Foods facilities on the island. Polyesterhampton is so laid back it's citizens hardly care about football -- though when the Cup rolls around, citizen's ears are sure to perk up.
Sponsored by Consolidated Industries, a vertible behemoth of food in Oglethorpia and within the lower-left quarter of the Emerald Heights, Consolidated Stadium is a sparkling facility that represents some of the best stadium architecture in the Bureaucratic States. As one reporter put it, "Consolidated Stadium is full of graceful curves, pretty glass spires, and is just really really shiny." The fact that an immense amount of money has been put into the home of Polyesterhampton F.C. shows. Consolidated Stadium was designed in stark contrast to Steerford's Bureaucratized Stadium; instead of standing tall over the pitch and casting a show over the width and breadth of the field, Consolidated Stadium is more curvateous and lets a great deal more light into the stadium -- reflecting on the city's sprawling low-lying surburban districts.

Bureaucratized Stadium
Location: Steerford
Capacity: 97,605
Year Built: 1973
Home Club: Steerford Utd.
Bureaucratized Stadium is sometimes called a disaster of stadium design. No matter how much money the Bureaucratized Media conglomerate put into the stadium, nothing could make the stadium look more natural by softening up it's rigid lines, or take away the visual sensation that its seating banks completely obscure the pitch from any sunlight at all. An eyesore from the air and as you walk into the stadium, Bureaucratized Stadium must be lighted both day and night so that the players may be able to see the pitch that sits under the high walls of the stadium.
Still, in the wake of it's eyesore of a stadium, Steerford Utd remains a well loved club among Steerforders -- all of it's 97,605 seats nearly (or completely) filled to capacity for the club's domestic games. While Bureaucratized Stadium is an anamoly in Oglethorpian stadium design, it serves it's purpose well and seats an admirable 97,605 shouting football fans.
Steerford rivals Polyesterhampton in its all-encompassing laid back attitude -- Bureaucratized Media lays claim to having the only notable skyscraper in Steerford. The city has preserved most of its wilderness, and the prevailing sport of choice is hunting. When hunting goes up against a United Football League match, though, hunting always loses out to a widespread love of the game in Steerford.
