Hi Tyler! Nice work on your article. There are things I really like about it. First, I like how you use multiple sources to cite the same fact. It makes me, as the reader, feel like the statements made are credible. I also really like the depth you went into recognizing every big event that's taken place at the Stadium.

There are a few things I can suggest to elevate your article. For the most part, they all center around organization.

1. Your Lead After reading your first sentence, I had a lot of questions. My first question as a reader when I open a Wikipedia article is not "where is the location of the subject?" but rather "what am I reading about?" I found myself asking "what is this stadium? what events do they host? why is this important? Later in your lead, you somewhat answered my questions, but I think that this article could benefit from a more summarizing lead. Something like "The stadium was built in __ and now works to host concerts, sporting events, etc."

2. Is it called the tacoma stadium or the stadium bowl? In your lead, you refer to the subject just as "the stadium", and then later in the article, you refer to it as "the tacoma stadium." This might make sense to an avid sports watcher, but to the average reader this was very confusing.

3. Add an "events" section The majority of your lead overview is all about what events have taken place at the stadium. I think that this article would be better organized if you kept your introduction just a short summary overview of what the stadium is, and then added a subsection of events that have taken place at the event.

4. Sources The majority of your sources are news organizations— I don't think we are supposed to use these, but I'm not sure what else you would be able to use in substitute. Plus, it's not like you're taking much information from these sources other than the fact that the events happened. Just a thought, this might be fine.

Let me know if you have any questions! Veronica George 10 (talk) 20:15, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

My Feedback
Hi, I just want to add a couple more thoughts on top of what added above. Newspapers are generally considered reliable sources. Take a look at the policy on wp:reliable sources. I suggest looking to more developed articles on similar topics like Kingdome for inspiration about what kinds of information or sections to include in your article.

Comment on Peer Reviews
Hey. and have left you some really valuable feedback on the work you've done so far on your article. They were encouraging and left you some great ideas about how else you can improve your article. So far, it looks like you've added a citation and started a section on the flood. This is a good start, but I have to say that I think that you still have a ways to go in order to really develop your additions to the article into a meaningful contribution. So I think you should pay attention to the ideas that and  shared with you. I think expanding on the history of the stadium seems like a good place to look for ideas. I also think just elaborating more on the facts that are already in the article with more details and background information that explain the relevance of the people and events could go a long way. Adding images is a great idea as well, though if you're going to go that route I caution you to inform yourself about Wikipedia's norms around images and copyright before you go looking for an image. Another idea I had is that you might elaborate on the significance of the architecture of the stadium and how it has shaped it's neighborhood. I understand that it might be kind of tricky to find sources on a local subject like this. I can try to help you find some if you're interested. Please reach out to me when you have made more progress on your article. Groceryheist (talk) 06:20, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
