Don't get me wrong, i'm not buying into the "Sports City" hype, its more of a sectioned theme of Dubailand in my opinion, and some sport will eventuate.
Fair enough, but its still being heralded around the globe, as a first, a great lifestyle etc. etc,so I just think personally, that it will be completed ala brochure.

That's fair comment because as we all know the weather prevents many world level events. The cricket world cup would be a start. Problem is how old will this development be when and if they get a MAJOR event? That would be a minimum 6-8 years away. It seems to me they need a successful bid first and the stadia later. Anyhow, the 7's should be good next year!!!
