Wouldn't a cricket pitch that straddles the India and Pakistan border border be interesting? The logistics of actually running it could be a nightmare, but it's an interesting idea. Fans from each country could go to the match, but I guess only the players would need visas.

Does anyone know of an athletic stadium that straddles a border of any type?

A soccer stadium with one goal on each side of the North Korea-South Korea border next to those split buildings could be a way to thaw relations between the countries. Or at least put a ping pong net across one of their divided tables.

I've heard that the high schools of Lancaster County, SC, and Union County, NC, play a football game every fall to determine where the true birthplace of Andrew Jackson is because historians cannot agree about which of the two counties it is in. maybe they need a stadium with the border on the 50 yard line? Part of me likes this solution, although it does have a certain Orwellian "he who controls the present controls the past..." creepiness to it.
