DSCN* Stadium

Assumptions
- TL 8 End
- Salvage provides a reason to be in the city.
- 4 hectares within the stadium
- A whole city to source plants and seeds from.
- 1 or 2 generations since End
- either reasonable weather or the residents have managed to restore part of the municipal water system or put down a bore.
- sufficient feral animal populations or trading partners to keep the gene pool healthy.

Notes
- if hay is a possibility then keeping the animals inside for longer than 2 days in a siege situation is possible. It would also be a requirement if there was prolonged snow coverage in winter.
- The animals provide a source of manure for the gardens.
- high crop rotation
- a reasonable population might be 100 people without the use of a chemist/botanist. With access to the right chemical fertilizers/treatments doubling the population is possible
- the stadium served as a civil defence depot.
- Crops may be planted outside the stadium depending on the end. Shallow rooted crops would work best.

Description
The old stadium has seen serious renovation in recent years to meet the requirements of a post apocalyptic population. Most of the entrances have been concreted over and many fire escape bylaws have been violated to improve security. You are fairly sure that lookout tower wouldn't be up to code either. What was the car park is now a grass covered field with fruit trees growing in small fenced off areas.

Crops
The interior of the stadium has been completely devoted to gardens including the seating area. Primarily potatoes and high yielding garden varieties. Vines and climbers are used to take advantage of the vertical services and use as much of the available light as possible. Some mushrooms are grown inside the structure.

Livestock
Inside the stadium chickens, guinea pigs, worms and fish are farmed. These animals are mainly used as a means to store surplus food.

Goats and cattle are kept as well, every morning they are taken out to graze on the grasses that dominate the previously sealed surfaces of the city and are returned at night. In case of emergency they can be fed for a day or two with the green matter from the crops but after that they will need to be culled. This green matter also serves as a valuable supplimentary food source for the animals. 60 to 80 goats and 12 to 14 cattle. Main benefit is dairy, up to 120 liters of milk per day(for 3-9 months of the year depending on climate).

Requirements
- Potassium, sulphur and to a lesser extent nitrogen
- Equipment suitable for TL4-8 farming
- Food preservation

Produces
- cheese and dairy
- range of vegetables
- sufficient surplus to maintain specialists/scavengers

Cuisine
- Best, steak with baked potatoes, blue cheese, garden vegetables and butter.
- Typical, potatoes, eggs and garden vegetables
- Desperation, dried beans and worms
