The Joke:
What lights up a stadium?
A match.
When you hear "stadium," your mind immediately thinks of massive floodlights or high-powered electrical systems used to light up a sports field at night. You're expecting a technical answer about electricity or stadium design.
The Pun
The word "match" has two distinct definitions:
- The Sports Meaning: A competitive game (a soccer match or a tennis match).
- The Literal Meaning: A small wooden stick used to strike a fire.
The Twist:
While a sports match is what happens inside the stadium, a tiny wooden match is what literally creates light (fire).
