250 000 000 million liters equals 250 cubic meters. 5 meters width x 5 meters length x 5 meters height. How on earth does that size metamorphose into the size of a football stadium? It would be far better to report that said football stadium now occupies the site.

No problem, each of us makes errors! moreover, in the anglo-saxon world often the metric system is misunderstood :-) Bye, Alex2006 (talk) 10:16, 4 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
