Stadium

"Frenzied combat in and around the hockey rink at Chance Stadium."

- 's map description

Stadium is a multiplayer map in the First Strike map pack for ''Call of Duty: Black Ops. The map is located near a hockey stadium in New York City.

Overview
Stadium's a medium sized map with light cover everywhere, where Hardened may come in handy. Shotguns and SMG's are ideal here, because of the short, tight corners, and limited long-range combat.

Tactics

 * Few people know that in the office in the house at B3, that you can actually jump on the bookcase and over the balcony, avoiding any Claymores.
 * Watch out for campers in the cafeteria part of the stadium. They will often hide behind the counter with all the condiments on it.
 * Sniping on this map usually does not turn out successfully, due to the tight corners and obstacles.

Trivia

 * During four-player local splitscreen, the third player may have a completely white screen, ability to noclip, spawn in an inaccessible area, and can kill and be killed by players. Ground appears during a killcam and when a game ends, but is completely gone otherwise. It is unknown whether this can happen online or with fewer than four players.
 * It seems to take place in 1972 as seen on magazines and posters in stores.
 * The logos on the Stadium bear a resemblance to the old CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) logo.
 * The team which Stadium is the home rink for is the fictional team of the New York Atomics. This is possibly a reference to the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb.
 * Stadium is a rebuilt version of the scrapped map Münich, which was also based on a stadium.
 * When the player stands on top of the fountain with the globe on it at the center of the map, it appears that the player is on top of the water.
 * In the bookcase in the building by the Black Ops (faction) spawn, there is a book labeled "Edward Richtofen".
 * If a tactical grenade is thrown into the hockey rink, then the score board will make a buzzing sound as if a score was made.
