For international matches the ground is called "EM Stadion Wals-Siezenheim".
The architects were Schuster Architekten (Düsseldorf) and Atelier Albert Wimmer (Wien).
In 2005 two video boards were erected.
At this time the capacity was around 18,000 but was expanded to over 30,000 in 2006 because the ground was used for the Euro 2008.
A second balcony was built.
The new stadium was presented with a match against Arsenal F.C., in which Red Bull Salzburg won 1-0.
After the Euro it was decided, despite of neighbour protests, that this balcony should stay for further use by Red Bull Salzburg.
The stadium was the only one in Austria with an artificial turf, but since 2010 the arena has switched to natural grass.
FC Red Bull Salzburg play their games here, which was rented from another owner.
Therefore, the stadium is indirectly owned by the state of Salzburg.

John James Audubon (April 26, 1785 – January 27, 1851) was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, hunter, and painter.
He painted, described, and put in catalogues the birds of North America.
His Birds of America is a collection of 435 life-size prints.
It is still a standard against which 20th and 21st century bird artists are measured.
Audubon was born in Saint Domingue (now Haiti).
He was the illegitimate son of a French sea captain and plantation owner and his French mistress.
He was raised by his stepmother in Nantes, France.
Early interests included birds, nature, drawing, and music.
In 1803, at the age of 18, he was sent to America to escape conscription into Napoleon’s army.
He lived on the family-estate at Mill Grove, near Philadelphia.
It was here that he hunted, studied and drew birds.
He married Lucy Bakewell.
The couple became the parents of two sons, Victor Gifford and John Woodhouse.
A daughter died in infancy.
Audubon set up a dry goods business on the western frontier in Henderson, Kentucky.
He continued to draw birds as a hobby.
He was quite successful in business, but hard times hit.
In 1819 he was briefly jailed for bankruptcy.
Audubon had few prospects.
He set off with his gun, his artist’s materials, and a young assistant to paint America's birds.
Floating down the Mississippi River, he lived a rugged hand-to-mouth existence in the South.
His wife earned money as a tutor to rich plantation families.
In 1826 he sailed with his partly finished collection of bird drawings to England. "
The American Woodsman" was an overnight success.
Audubon found a printer for the Birds of America, first in Edinburgh, then London, and later collaborated with the Scottish ornithologist William MacGillivray on the Ornithological Biographies – life histories of each of the species in the work.est comfort.
The last print of his monumental work was issued in 1838.
By this date, Audubon was famous.
He traveled America several more times in search of birds, and settled in New York City.
He made one more trip to the West in 1843 for his work of mammals, the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America.
It was largely completed by his sons.
The text was written by his long-time friend, the Lutheran pastor John Bachman (whose daughters married Audubon’s sons).
Audubon spent his last years in senility and died at age 65.
He is buried in the Trinity Cemetery at 155th Street and Broadway in New York City.
The National Audubon Society writes: "Audubon’s story is one of triumph over adversity; his accomplishment is destined for the ages.
He encapsulates the spirit of young America, when the wilderness was limitless and beguiling.
He was a person of legendary strength and endurance as well as a keen observer of birds and nature.
Like his peers, he was an avid hunter, and he also had a deep appreciation and concern for conservation; in his later writings he sounded the alarm about destruction of birds and habitats.
It is fitting that today we carry his name and legacy into the future".
Values of the Birds of America
In December 2010, The Economist magazine estimated that, adjusted for inflation, five of the ten highest prices ever paid for printed books were paid for copies of Birds of America.
Of the 119 copies known to survive, only eleven are held in private collections.
On 6 December 2010, a complete copy of the first edition was sold in London at Sotheby's for £7,321,250 (about $11.5 million).
The winning bid was a record auction price for a printed book and was placed by a London-based art dealer, who outbid three others during the auction.
According to the provenance details reported by the auction house, the copy's original owner was Henry Witham of Durham, listed as subscriber #11 in Audubon's Ornithological biography.

"Raise Your Glass" is a song by American recording artist and songwriter Pink.
It was released as the lead single of her album, Greatest Hits... So Far!!!.
It celebrates the ten years Pink has spent in the music industry.
She said it was for the fans who supported her during these years.
The song was released in October 2010.
It was praised by critics who said it was a party anthem.
It was successful commercially as well.
It reached the Top 10 in several countries, including the United States.
There it became Pink's second solo number one hit, following "So What," and her third overall.
Karl Johan Schuster (born February 1, 1985), better known by his stage name Shellback, is a songwriter, record producer and musician from Karlshamn, a small town in Southern Sweden.
Together with Max Martin, he wrote "So What" and "Raise Your Glass" by Pink, "If U Seek Amy" and "3" by Britney Spears, "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" by Usher featuring Pitbull, and "Whataya Want from Me" by Adam Lambert.
Also with Martin he co-wrote the Maroon 5 single One More Night.
Vocal range is the measure of the pitches that a human voice can make.
Although the study of vocal range is not used in terms of speech, it is a topic of study within linguistics, phonetics, and speech and language pathology.
However, the most common use of the term "vocal range" is in singing, where it is used for classifying singing voices into groups.

Beadle and Tatum's key experiments involved exposing the bread mould Neurospora crassa to x-rays, causing mutations.
In a series of experiments, they showed that these mutations caused changes in specific enzymes involved in pathways making proteins.
They proposed a direct link between genes and enzymatic reactions, known as the "one gene, one enzyme" hypothesis.
George Wells Beadle was born at Wahoo, Nebraska, on October 22, 1903.
He was the son of farmers; his parents owned and operated a 40-acre (160,000 m2) farm.
In 1926, after his degree, he worked on hybrid wheat and Zea mays.
In 1931 he was awarded a National Research Council Fellowship at the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, where he remained from 1931 until 1936.
During this period he continued his work on Indian corn and began, in collaboration with Dobzhansky and Sturtevant work on crossing-over in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.
In 1935 Beadle visited Paris for six months to work with Boris Ephrussi at the Institut de Biologie physico-chimique.
Together they began the study of the development of eye pigment in Drosophila which later led to the work on the biochemistry of the genetics of the fungus Neurospora.
In 1946 he returned to the California Institute of Technology as Professor of Biology and Chairman of the Division of Biology.
Here he remained until January 1961 when he was elected Chancellor of the University of Chicago and, in the autumn of the same year, President of this university.
The work of Beadle & Tatum was continued later by E.B. Lewis who worked on the way genes control the development of embryos, and by Phillip Sharp & Richard Roberts who discovered of introns and RNA splicing.
All three won Nobel Prizes for their work.
The coding regions of the gene are separated by non-coding DNA that is not involved in protein expression.
The non-coding regions, the introns, are cut from the precursor mRNAs in a process called "splicing".
The split gene structure was found to be common to most eukaryotic genes.
For this reason, one gene–one enzyme does not hold in the simple way put forward by Beadle and Tatum.
It may take more than one gene to build a protein, and
Many different genes can be made from a smaller set of genes (see antibody).

There are few to no LGBT rights in Pakistan.
Since 6th of October in 1860, it has been illegal to participate in homosexual acts (to have sexual contact with a person of the same gender).
Unlike in the neighbouring country of India, this Section 377 of the British Indian penal code (Law) has not yet been repealed (or gotten rid of).
Homosexuality is also thought of as a taboo vice in Pakistan, Laws are harsh yet go unopposed in most cases.
If individual orientation and acceptance isn’t enough, young boys in some cases are forced to delve into sexual activities with older predatory men.
The major religions in Pakistan do not approve of homosexuality.
Because of this, many people in the country are against homosexuality and other forms of alternative sexual orientation.
Nevertheless, the LGBT community is still able to socialize, organize, date, and even live together as couples, if done mostly in secret.
Pakistan is officially an Islamic Republic.
However, in reality, Pakistan is largely secular (non-religious).
It mainly has Anglo-Saxon laws which were inherited from the British.
More and more, there are trends (or patterns) of liberalization (becoming more liberal) in the country.
Globalization and social tolerance are also increasing.
Because of this, public gay parties have been taking place in the country, and these parties have been thriving for a number of years.
The Constitution of Pakistan does not specifically mention sexual orientation or gender identity.
There are certain parts in the Constitution that may affect the rights of LGBT Pakistani citizens.
In 2018, Parliament passed the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act which established broad protections for transgender people.
Earlier, in a historic 2009 ruling, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled in favour of civil rights for transgender citizens, and further court rulings upheld and increased these rights.
Pakistan does not have civil rights laws to prohibit discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation.
Neither same-sex marriages nor civil unions are permitted under current law and are scarcely ever brought up in the political discourse.
In addition, there is a growing number of individuals—especially those born to parents who have been educated in the developed world, who are usually University graduates and have some sort of understanding about evolution and sexuality—who are Coming out to their friends and introducing them to their same-sex partner.
Transsexualism and Intersexuality
Most South Asian nations have a concept, or idea, called "hijra", or third gender.
While the term is commonly used in South Asia, it is considered derogatory in Urdu and the term khawaja sara () is used instead.
They are sometimes referred to as Transgender, Intersex or Eunuchs in English language publications.
People who belong to prevails the third gender are thought of as not being either man or woman.
Pakistan is no different.
In the country, there is a vibrant culture of hijras.
They are sometimes called transsexuals in English writings.
Like transgender people in many countries, hijras are sometimes ridiculed (made fun of), abused, and treated violently.
In Punjabi, there are referred to as  (ਖੁਸਰਾ/خسرہ), and in Sindhi as  (کدڙا).
However, they are also accepted, to a point.
This is because of the position they held in precolonial Desi society.
For example, they are welcome at weddings, where they will dance as entertainment for the men, and are also welcome among the women.
As most of Pakistan's official government and business documents are in English, the term "third gender" has been chosen to represent individuals (either male or female, neither, and/or both) that identify themselves as, transsexual,  transgender person, cross-dresser (Zenana in Urdu), transvestite, and Eunuchs (Narnbans in Urdu).
Hijras are usually tolerated in Pakistani society.
They are thought of as blessed in the Pakistani culture.
Most hijras are thought to be cultural descendants (or relatives) of court eunuchs from the Mughal era.
Hijras are thought to be born with Genital dysphoria.
People sometimes feel afraid that the hijras might curse them so that they become the same way.
Because of this, people listen to the hijras' needs, give them alms (or charity), and invite them to events and special occasions, like the birth of a child, a child's circumcision, or weddings.
Hijra communities live a very secretive life.
Because of this, many people see the hijras as mysterious.
People have started accepting acts of Sex reassignment surgery to change their sex as a norm either compelled by Gender dysphoria.
There are situations where such cases have come into the limelight.
A 2008 ruling at Pakistan's Lahore High Court gave permission to Naureen, 28, to have a sex change operation, although the decision was applicable only towards people suffering from gender dysphoria.
On the 18th of June in 2016 a small clerical body in Lahore know as Tanzeem Ittehad-I-Ummat declared Transgender marriages legal under Islamic law.
These clerics are affiliated to the Pakistan-based organization issued a Fatwa on Pakistani transgender people where a trans woman (born male) with "visible signs of being a woman" is allowed to marry a man, and a trans man (born female) with "visible signs of being a man" is allowed to marry a woman.
Pakistani transsexuals can also change their gender.
Muslim ritual funerals also apply.
Depriving transgender people of their inheritance, humiliating, insulting or teasing them were also declared Haraam.
Although there are no Fatāwās by a Mufti for it or against the ("Zenanas") or Eunuchs and Hermaphrodites within the country, that remains a debatable issue for the existing various sexual minority diverse communities within Pakistan respectively.
On the 5th of February in 2018, a Senate committee determined that transgender people could inherit property without being required to have their gender decided by a medical board.
Some hijras in Pakistan use hormones and silicone to bring focus on their feminine characteristics; however, this is usually done in terrible medical conditions without proper equipment and supervision, as expensive Sex change surgeries in Pakistan are not done mostly due to lack of education on the topic and the taboos of society.
LGBT Pakistani history
Despite the British Raj imposition, Pakistan was still a very much an open society.
Gay Pakistanis have had a much better experience in Pakistan than they did in London or elsewhere.
But, all of that changed in the 1980s, under the sixth President of Pakistan, His government took the law to lifetime imprisonment, and even death in certain areas under Sharia law.
More and more Wahhabi-style religious schools or madrasas were opened in the country, generally with money from the Middle East as well as teachers educated in that region.
However, 147 years after the British had brought Sodomy Laws to the entire region under their collective domain, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has noted in 2005 that gay life in Pakistan is still “less inhibited than in the west.”
This is because the culture is much stronger than laws imposed by foreign powers and greedy local politicians.
There have been a lot of changes, sometimes they are good and sometimes bad, but changes are constant companion to gay Pakistani life in the country.
At the moment, one of the mysteries is that people deny the history of gay life in Pakistan.
While in Pakistan speaking to the National Public Radio, Pakistani-American scholar Taymiya R. Zaman, who happens to be an expert in Islamic History, said that “You can’t look at something that already existed – and there is a shrine devoted to it – and now say it was unacceptable.”
In March 2012 at the Human Rights Council, Hina Jilani, who was then also Chair of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and former Special Representative of the Secretary-General said, "it was very important to emphasize that a serious obstacle was the persistent denial of protection for people from violence on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
That denial and rejection was not prudent for any Government that claimed commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights.
It was not convincing when culture and religion were used as a shield and an excuse for failure to protect.
There was no notion of responsibility that allowed duty bearers to selectively hold out on protection."
Pre-Independent Colonial era (1857-1947)
The 18th century British colonists, the self-righteous Anglican males of the self-assessed superior civilisation, upon arrival in the Mughal-Muslim Indian subcontinent, were repulsed by the sight of Hijras (transgenders) and baffled over why they were accorded so much respect in royal courts and other spheres of life.
After deposing the Mughals, and in discharging the white man’s burden of civilising the inferior races, the British colonists enacted the so-called Criminal Tribes Act, 1871 which was introduced on the 12th of October in 1871; to declare what they called Eunuchs (transgenders) a so-called criminal tribe (among many other Indian tribes) on the theory that certain tribes were genetically criminal and must be placed under state surveillance.
By invoking the power of criminal law and associated prisons and penalties, the British colonists attacked the dignity of transgender community, degrading them in social echelons, and eventually forcing them to adopt begging, prostitution, and other questionable professions.
Turning a respected community into a legally certified criminal tribe was an egregious blunder of the British colonialism (and it is hoped that Sadiq Khan, the new Mayor of London, will begin to restore the full rights of transgenders at least in London municipality).
After the so-called 1871 Criminal Tribes Act, a vicious cycle of persecution against transgenders of degradation began in the British India.
Degraded to criminal tribe with genetic flaws, transgenders lost their royal status and gradually were excluded from all respectable social circles.
Such is the power of the master that slaves and servants fashion their own hierarchies of inferiority among themselves.
All designated criminal tribes under the 1871 Act suffered social degradation and persecution but transgenders were the hardest hit.
In order to survive, some transgenders took to dancing performed at the birth of a new child in the community, collecting Wadhais (tips).
Some developed the joyous art of clapping and dancing.
Some developed the art of lampooning and were invited to the wedding feasts of the well-to-do to make fun of the groom, the guests, and even the politicians.
They played the same role of amusing private gatherings as do late-night TV comedians in the United States.
Some transgenders took to begging, some to prostitution, and some to criminality, thus fulfilling the prophecy of the so-called 1871 Criminal Tribes Act.
After formal dissolution of the former British Empire; Independent states of modern Republic of India and Pakistan came into being respectively, thus the Criminal Tribes Act was repealed with respect to transgenders.
However, the damage done to transgenders was irreparable.
Transgenders lost social respect and various stereotypes have been built to humiliate and discount the transgender community.
A pejorative word Khusra is in active currency to denigrate the personality of transgenders.
Friends might tease a feminine-looking friend as a Khusra.
An incompetent politician is called a Khusra.
In both modern India and Pakistan, the word Khusra is associated with impotence, incompetence, and powerlessness.
In Pakistan, the people have forgotten the spiritual role that the transgenders played in Islam.
Transgenders are ridiculed and insulted.
Popular TV shows, such as Khabarnaak and Khabardaar, make cruel jokes against transgender community.
One of these shows is headed by a lawyer licensed to practice before the high courts of Pakistan.
LGBT politics
Time and again, various such parties and leaders have said that Pakistan needs to be more open, in public, about sexual orientation and gender identity issues.
Yet, the sense persists that no public organization, club, or society would be allowed to endorse (or officially support) LGBT human rights, or even act as a social network for LGBT people, in the Islamic State.
Only the Pakistan Greens has publicly expressed support for their LGBT rights for its citizens in general and abroad (Overseas Pakistanis) and has called for greater public openness and awareness about Sexual orientations and gender identity issues.
Globally, multiple countries Legally recognise non-binary or third gender classifications and have already introduced X gender passports.
In 2019 Canada introduced gender-neutral passports with an X category.
While Pakistan has acknowledged a third gender to some degree since 2009, Apex Court Ruling Ordered that the NADRA issue National Identity Cards to members of the T Community showing their distinct gender.
"It's the first time in the 62-year history of Pakistan that such steps are being taken for our welfare", Almas Bobby, a Khawaja Sara association's president, said to Reuters, "It's a major step towards giving us respect and identity in society.
We are slowly getting respect in society.
Now people recognize that we are also human beings."
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has officially recognised a third gender category for Pakistani passports in December 2018.
Pakistan now allows transgender, intersex, and hijra individuals to obtain documents that match their gender identity, whether male, female, or third gender.
Restoring the Dignity of Transgenders
In 2009, the Pakistan Supreme Court, delivered a seminal ruling, recognizing the dignity of transgenders and declaring them the third gender under the equal protection clause of the Pakistani Constitution.
Article 25 states that “There Shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex.”
The Supreme Court noted that transgender persons have been neglected “On account of gender disorder in their bodies.”
They have been denied the inheritance rights as they were neither sons nor daughters who inherit under Islamic law.
Sometimes, families disinherit transgender children.
To remedy discrimination against transgenders, the Court ordered provincial and federal governments to protect transgenders’ gender identification, right to inherit property, right to vote, right to education, and right to employment.
This Laws shall now include the recognition of trans identity in legal documents such as passports, ID cards, and driver licenses, and prohibiting discrimination in employment, schools, work-place, public transit, healthcare… etc, as well as the right for inheritance in accordance to their chosen gender.
Furthermore, the bill obligates the government to build protection centres and safe houses be built for the transgender community.
These are all landmark decisions by the apex court and hopefully the situation for LGBT rights will improve more in future.
The 'Third gender' was officially protected from discrimination by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2010.
Surprisingly, 60% of Pakistanis would have no concerns about having a gay or lesbian neighbour, and 32% of Pakistani people support gay marriage.
Pakistani media strictly censors LGBT related news stories.
In late 2013, the Government of Pakistan censored the website Queerpk.com from being viewed.
Despite this ground-breaking ruling in a conservative Islamic country, which must be welcome and which carries instructional values for the United States where transgenders are still fighting for equal dignity, there are some troubling aspects of the Court ruling.
The Pakistan Supreme Court compares transgender persons with “disabled persons“ and articulates their gender status as “gender disorder.”
There is no need for courts to engage in fruitless parallels nor does it advance the rights of transgenders when a high court labels transgender as gender disorder.
Before the British invasion, Pre-Pakistanians considered gender ambiguity and transgender Identity a norm, anti LGBT+ laws were implemented by the British to co-ordinate with theirs in England.
Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and other religious minorities did not feel passionate hatred towards people with LGBT identity according to historical records.
In many ways, the creation of laws which support the LGBT community can be regarded as an act of process of Decolonization in itself respectively, to restore their former glorious rightful dignified traditional heritage as Pakistanis.
While Pakistan now has acknowledged a third gender to some degree since 2010, the Supreme Court of Pakistan officially recognised a third gender category for Pakistani passports in December 2018.
Pakistan now allows transgender, intersex, and hijra individuals to obtain documents that match their gender identity, whether male, female, or third gender respectively.
On the 29th of December in 2018, Pakistan's first trans pride parade was held in Lahore to celebrate the landmark Transgender rights law passed earlier during that year.
In 2018, Nisha Rao attained her law degree from Karachi's Sindh Muslim Law College and became Pakistan's first transgender lawyer.
In early 2019 The word "TRANSGENDER" translated as مُتَجَنَّس /  Mutajannis for the first time in the Urdu language by the Lahore-Pakistan based Organization HOPE - Have Only Positive Expectations.
Earlier than this there was no translation exists which covers the whole Transgender spectrum includes Transgender Women (trans women /MTF), Transgender Men (trans man / FTM), Khaja Sira, and gender expression.
In 2020, a transgender woman named Gul Panra was shot dead in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.
This is the latest case of attacked on the LGBT community in the county.
Along with her, a friend of Gul's were also injured, but escaped death.
Gul was a Pashto singer in her professional life.
Since 2015, it is reported that 68 transgender people were murdered in Pakistan.
However, a total of 479 transgender people were attacked since 2018 in the Pakistani provence of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone.
But, these figures may not include the actual figure, as recording of anti-trans violence is poor.
LGBT rights in Kashmir (PAK)
Homosexuality is still illegal in the Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Occupied Kashmir.
Pakistan was one of the 67 signatory nations opposing the UN declaration on Sexual orientation and Gender Identity, which failed to pass.
