Reply to comment by Bobodahobo010101 in TIL On Christmas Eve 1969, Francisco Macias Nguema had 186 suspected dissidents executed in the national football stadium in Malabo with the executioners dressed as Santa Claus, with the amplifiers played Mary Hopkin's song "Those Were the Days". by Osrever101

Dennis Hopper actually got drunk and invited a bunch of people to a speedway and sat in a chair while everyone watched and lit dynamite beneath it, it exploded and he survived. There is actually video of it. Another weirdly tangential stadium story for you.

That was an amazing watch! On an unrelated note, but it reminded me of Kiefer Shuterland jumping in a Christmas tree.
