How do you mean exactly would it be an app giving information about specific stadia?
If so, then I suppose you need to show obvious stuff like capacity, who actually plays there (maybe offering a link to their website), year opened, playing surface and so forth. You could also mention stuff like average and record attendances for trivia fans.
A seating plan might also be useful, so if you're wanting to buy tickets you'd have an idea where you'd actually be sat/standing. Links to stuff like the ticket office and local transport timetables may also be something to think about.

It's an interesting idea....
some thoughts that come to mind
- You could do trivia/giveaways.. answer some question correctly and win a prize kind of thing...
- from seat ordering of concessions.
- purchase tickets for other events
- duplicate information that is on the big mega screen, as sometimes you can't see it from the cheap seats
- instant stats about players, etc.
the medium could also be used to sell last minute unbought tickets.. push notification to the user, an hour before the game starts... "would you like to buy tickets to this event? ... " at discounted price..
just the things that came to mind

That's pretty sweet. That is what I was going to suggest... having an app that communicates with whatever stadium you are at and it gives you live stats, replays, etc. I'd definitely use it at Mizzou football games! ...I am taking an iPhone Application Developer course this coming semester, so maybe I'll keep this in the back of my mind to see if it'd be possible.
Kinda like an insurance company making an app for the iPhone and advertising it on TV!
That would be stupid!
Maps with food and restrooms are a must. Would also be nice to get views akin to google street from every seat in the stadium.
Are you serious? This question makes total sense and the idea is a great one for an app.
It would be nice if it included parking options for around the stadium.
Which entrance is closest to my seats.
As bigmouth mentioned, food and restroom locations are high on the list.
