Todays Main Page features the announcement:

Did you know...[edit]

...that the German prisoners of war built part of the Stade de Gerland in Lyon after the First World War?

However, the article itself nowhere mentions anything like it. What happened to the information? Was it cut out or was it never there in the first place? --Istabraq 14:18, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

It looks like it was never there in the first place. The DYK fact is in the French-language article. (I don't know the language, but I can recognize just enough words to know when they're talking about German POWs.) I've just added it to this version. Dale Arnett 15:05, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Owner[edit]

I'm not sure that the Olympique Lyonnais is the owner of this Stadium... I think it is the Mairie de Lyon as fot each French Stadium. OL should own the new stadium. Lucio fr (talk) 08:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
