I was picturing stadium inside a larger dome, like being in the subburbs of Nectar. imagine an attack of Steel Liberators synths during the inauguration *evil cackles*

Re: Lunar stadium
this lead me to ... what type of sport can we do in a microgravitie planet ?

What do you mean a butterfly cause this ? How a butterfly can cause an enviromental system overload on the other side of a 10 000 egos habitat ?

Typically, low gravity means it is hard to run. So instead of a flat game surface the environment has to have more handholds or obstracles to allow freerunning - or players move by jumping across the game environment, bouncing or redirecting when they reach walls (or each other). Perhaps the most well-described sport is the zero-gravity paintball wargame in Ender's Game. That might make a good sport. I suspect some form of basketball might be interesting. Or maybe Frisbee volleyball?

Re: Lunar stadium
I think i have posted a couple months ago some idea for a War Room- like sport on the forum. I don't remember in which section of the forum, tho. As sportive team sport for lower gravity planets, I would picture something like BSG's and Caprica's Pyramid, or a Gunm (Battle Angel Alita)-like Motor Ball. A good way to exploit different morphs in a controlled environment in a system-wide broadcast competition

Microgravity rugby factors prominently into our game.
