SO, WHEN WE SAY A STRUCTURE IS A DOME IT MEANS IT IS ‘CIRCULAR’ IN SHAPE ESPECIALLY THE ROOF AND THE CEILING. SO, IF THE MANALO ARENA IS A DOME THEN THE MERCEDES BENZ SUPERDOME IS THE BIGGER DOME. HA HA HA… IT IS CIRCULAR IN SHAME, ROUND AND ROUND… HA HA HA… THE ROOF AND THE CEILING IS ALSO VERY VERY ROUND AND IT HAS 76,000 SITTING CAPACITY WHILE THE MANALO ARENA IS ONLY 55,000. HA HA HA… VERY VERY CHEAP IN COMPARISON. HA HA HA… IT HAS AN EXCESS OF ABOUT 20,000 THAT IS MUCH MUCH BIGGER. THE MANALO LOST IN THE ‘DOME’ CATEGORY. HA HA HA

Cowboys Stadium in Texas, exterior. It is also DOME in shame. It is circular and round on top

AS REGARDS ARENA AND STADIUM, BASED ON THESE INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARIES THEY ARE ‘SYNONYMOUS’. THEY HAVE THE SAME MEANING. A STADIUM IS A SPORTS ARENA WHICH IS OVAL IN SHAPE AND SURROUNDED BY SEATS FOR SPECTATORS. HA HA HA… SO THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE MANALO CULT MEMBERS THAT THEIR ARENA BELONGS TO DIFFERENT CATEGORY WITH THAT OF THE MERCEDES-BENZ SUPERDOME IN LOS ANGELES AND THE TITANIC IN SIZE COWBOY STADIUM OF TEXAS. HA HA HA…

WHAT IS STRIKING IS THAT THEY USED THE WORD ‘ARENA’ WHICH IS USUALLY USED FOR BLOODY FIGHTING BY THE PAGANS. ARENA IS FOR GLADIATORIAL COMBATS THAT IS WHY IT IS USUALLY BEING USED FOR BOXING WHICH IS A VERY PHYSICAL SPORTS AND IN POLITICS WHERE THE ANTAGONISM IS INTENSE BETWEEN TWO OPPOSING PARTIES. HA HA HA…. THE TERM STADIUM IS MORE PROPER FOR SPORTS ACTIVITIES AND RACING WHILE ARENA ALTHOUGH SIMILAR IN NATURE IS USUALLY USED FOR GLADIATORIAL COMBAT. HA HA HA…

IMAGINE, WHAT USE WILL THEY DO FOR THAT ARENA? WILL THEY USE IT FOR PRAYERS? FOR WORSHIP? OR FOR BUSINESS? HA HA HA… NO MATTER WHAT THEIR MANALO ARENA IS NOTHING IN COMPARISON WITH THE MERCEDES BENZ SUPERDOME AND THAT OF THE COWBOY STADIUM OF TEXAS. NO MATCH. HA HA HA… MR. MANALO, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT LOWER RATE, A FRUSTRATED COPY CAT. HA HA HA…
