I see... making concessions to the arch-rival, huh? :-P
As long as it is not "De kuip"... (well, THAT one would be an insane exercise!)

Remember, it is not the stadium that is out of scale, LEGO houses are small
instead! Build BIG, don't worry about the city around it too much (you can
always build a large warehouse-like facility between the stadium and the
city, so that the size difference isn't too noticeable)
