{{quote|'''Bush Stadium: Where Liberty City Sports fans get off.''' ''With the loss of virtually all of our major sports franchises, and the rise in suburban living, Liberty City has become a soccer town. Proud soccer moms are passionate about the Liberty City Cocks, while the men just love the LC Beavers. It is a passionate rivalry which has been known to spill over into violence, including SUV hit and runs and screaming, bitter fights between angry housewives. Go Cocks! Up the Beavers!''}} | {{quote|'''Bush Stadium: Where Liberty City Sports fans get off.'''

According to the plaque above the stadium's entrance, Liberty Memorial Coliseum was built in 1923, the same year as real-life New York Yankees stadium, and underwent an extensive renovation in the late 1990s.. The stadium is similar in appearance to the [[wp:Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum|Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]], particularly its main entrance. The stadium is assumed to be multifunctional; the stadium hosts football and soccer matches and has a running track, similar to the L.A. Coliseum before its renovations in the early 1990s. The bleachers of the stadium have the name of the city's football team, the [[Liberty City Cocks]]. Presumably, it is also the home stadium of the [[Liberty City Beavers]], similar to [[wp:Giants Stadium|Giants Stadium]], and its later successor, the [[wp:New Meadowlands Stadium|New Meadowlands Stadium]], hosting both the [[wp:New York Giants|New York Giants]] and [[wp:New York Jets|New York Jets]]. | |||
