• I wouldn't take hook 2, because technically the stadium is not too high to reach by car. I know it is sourced but cars are to be found also at higher altitudes. But it is also correct that the football teams access Gspon by cable car.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 16:21, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
  • I have added an alt3, a pic, and quite a bit of copy editting so far. Victuallers (talk) 10:05, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Looks fine, hope you like the pic and other bits. The article has lots of refs and so do the hooks. Its neutral and I can't see any close paraphrasing. The image is by one of the authors. I wondered if a hook about the players at the stadium being able to look down on every team in Europe might be interesting but its not April. Thanks for the contribution you two. I think the main hook is mundane compared to the alts, but let the picker pick. GTG Victuallers (talk) 11:10, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
