It is a place on Facebook that is totally devoted to sports and their fans, to unite them and their friends even when they aren’t together. Facebook Sports Stadium concentrates all content related to a particular game in one place – making it appear as it happens, chronologically. On it, users can find posts and comments from friends, as well as posts and commentary from experts (teams, leagues, or journalists) giving users access to their pages. Also, users get to see live scores, game stats, play-by-play, information about the game, and even where to find the game on TV.
