Stadium South
Eight blocks south of the stadium. Neutral ground built on stubborn persistence, information, and staying alive when everyone else gets played.
Stadium South
Stadium South is the "Shithole Switzerland" of Fanhattan, the place everyone passes through and nobody admits they need. It's eight blocks of brick, diesel, and cheap beer south of the stadium, where neutrality is less a principle and more a survival tactic.
Culture
Stadium South does not worship glory. It worships tomorrow. People here keep their heads down, keep their doors open, and keep their mouths shut, because the city remembers streaks and the Syndicate remembers debt.
Economy
Bars. Bookies. Pawn shops. Card stores. Side hustles that become careers if you survive long enough. Information is currency, and most of it gets traded over a beer at Shep's.
Power Structure
Power belongs to the people who can keep something open in a district built to close. Shep anchors the neighborhood. Tony and Vito hear everything. The neutrality is a public story. The real rule is simpler: don't make the district a battleground.
People of the District
Those who shape the district. Those shaped by it.

Stories
The episodes that define this ground.
Boom Debt: Part Two
Papi meets Billy, learns the washing operation, and sets a trap piñata. Tomas is revealed as compromised under duress. A mysterious sender knows Papi's birth name, and Syndicate cameras are already in the shop.
Boom Debt
Someone is using Casa de Boom's piñatas as Syndicate dead drops. Papi discovers tampered piñatas and a traitor among his employees—and the Syndicate is framing him for cooperation.

When the Syndicate demanded Shep choose a side, his decision sent shockwaves through Stadium South and beyond.
