The article makes no reference to the fact Bramall Lane is now often referred to as "Beautiful downtown Bramall Lane" - I don't know who is responsible for that name (I think prematch announcer Gary Sinclair started calling it that), but it's become a common nickname.
Online, it tends to be abbreviated to BDTBL. It's a very Sheffield joke in many ways - there's nothing terribly beautiful about the lane, and "downtown" makes it sound like it's in some stylish quarter of Sheffield or something. 83.67.74.208 12:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed that the official capacity seems to be shown as exactly 33,000 on most sites. I know that the Blades had official total sell outs against Man Utd (32,586) and Man City (32,591). Anyhow in the Shareholders financial report brochure that I saw in December 2006 it states that Bramall Lane currently possess 32,609 seats. So I think it would be more accurate to use this figure.

I removed the photo simply becuase the building work has now been completed, and so, the photo is now out of date, and no longer applicable to the article. Hawksworthm 19:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of November 30, 2006, compares against the six good article criteria:
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. -- Jazznutuva 17:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
resubmitted. The only critisism last time was that is was a copy-paste from EnglishPremier.Net, when in fact the reverse is true. L.J.Skinner WOT?| CONTRIBS 14:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
The article needs better flow - too much choppy confusing sentences
The article needs better wording - the south stand is on bob street on a hill which is connected to the east stand which is where the crazy fans sit. It's currently like this and also add more references. M3tal H3ad 10:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
If anyone finds this useful, I can post it on the article.

The oldest international football ground in the world is in fact the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, which hosted the first internation match outside Glasgow or London, Wales v Scotland, on 5th March 1877. The Racecourse Ground is still an international venue to this day, and will host it's 92nd international match, Wales v New Zealand, on 26th May 2007. 81.153.11.46 22:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Sheffield Football Club hosted an annual athletics meeting on the Bramall Lane ground from 1858. from 1863 another club, Norfolk Football Club (named after Duke of Norfolk who owned the ground, not Norfolk the county) also hosted athletics at Bramall Lane. in 1870 these two events were held on the 4th and 11th of April, respectively. see, for example, Sheffield Daily Telegraph, Tue 29 Mar 1870 page 1 where you can find adverts for these two events.
