Today is our class field trip day. We will visit Northerly Island of Chicago. It is a man-made peninsula. I have been there before; however, I don’t know the name of the place. I expect to see something left from the Meigs Field Airport. From the news here, I find that the city of Chicago plans to make this area as a focal point of a 2016 Olympics. There will be tennis court and volley ball field with 15,000 seats. Adjacent to this Northerly Island, there is a giant and famous Soldier Field. Although this is a stadium for American Football, Soldier Field was used as one of the venues for the FIFA World Cup in 1994. It might hold the soccer matches of the 2016 Olympics if Chicago wins the bid. It has 100,000 seats. It's big enough to hold Olympics' soccer games. Among the biggest soccer stadium in the world are the Saltlake in Calcutta (120,000), the Azteca in Mexico (106,000) and the Azadi in Tehran (100,000), the Nou Camp in Barcelona (98,600) and The Maracana (95,095 seats).
