Just a few miles from the world's most extreme
type of poverty is the Tamale stadium. Here's a few pictures of
it:
This
last picture appears to have been taken while it was under construction, but
it's a pretty accurate depiction of how it appears now. The construction fence
has been replaced by a more permanent fence. At least one gate was hanging by
only one hinge when I saw it, which affirmed that we were indeed still in Ghana.
Otherwise, it's a beautiful building.
I'm told the place is regularly filled to
capacity. Ghanaians love their football.
