Why do they still call it a "penalty" when there were no penalties involved?
Does Huddersfield have to move to a larger stadium?

So just how much is a promotion into the Premier League actually worth? According to Sky Sports, Huddersfield will see an increase in revenue of at least $293 million (£170 million), a figure that would potentially rise to $500 million (£290 million) if the team were to survive relegation in their first season in the top flight.

Patrick Stewart is from Mirfield which is just outside Huddersfield. He was for many years the Chancellor of The University of Huddersfield, where I spent 4 fantastic years.
The stadium holds over 24000 and is one of the more modern facilities in England with great sight lines throughout.
For the size of the town, that is sufficient, even with PL football.
I can't imagine ever imagine anything I do ever being worth $500m.
I suspect it is called a penalty shootout because the kicks are from the penalty spot.
Also, fun fact of the day: Huddersfield Town have won the League Title more times than Tottenham.
