Why are the rundown football stadia of old giving way to new architectural status symbols?

In the run-up to the World Cup, the programme looks at the architecture of football stadiums, fast becoming a status symbol for countries. How has the rain- and wind-swept football stadium of old changed into the icon of architecture it is today?

Also on the programme: A look at how 'crowd power' influences every football game. And what preparations are being made for the Women's World Cup in China 2007?
