minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-211 months agoSize of Old Trafford Football Stadium and all parking nearby: 20.8 hectares. Size of my local small golf club: 53.3 hectares. And that’s one of the largest stadiums in the country, vs one of many, many golf courses. Edit: For decimal place fuckup.
minus-squareModern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoThat is an absurdly massive golf club. Nowhere near average. https://asgca.org/faq-how-much-land-do-i-need-to-build-a-golf-course/
minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoHang on, I’ve got my decimal point one over. For some reason I thought a hectare was 1,000m², and it’s 10,000m². So 20.8 vs 53.3 hectares. But a basic bog-standard golf club is still over twice the size of one of the largest football stadiums in the country.
