This is also not the first time a World War II-era bomb has disrupted a sports venue. In 2015, a 550-pound unexploded British bomb was discovered by construction workers renovating Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany, home to the Borussia Dortmund soccer team. A few months later, an unexploded German bomb was found near Wembley Stadium in London.

It is advisable to order your poster a few millimetres larger than you require in order to account for any measurement or surface deficiencies. We advise that there may be up to a 3mm size tolerance on your finished poster. This can be due to a variety of factors such as trimming, temperatures, and lamination processes.
Backlit posters are designed for use with a framed light box. They are printed on special semi-transparent media that is coated with a thin film that ensures that light in distributed evenly across your poster. The result is a stunning poster that glows. Backlit posters are usually printed in large format so that they can be clearly seen during the day or at night.

That discovery prompted one of the largest peacetime evacuations in Britain’s history, with more than 10,000 residents forced to vacate while crews removed the ordnance.

In comparison with traditional printed posters, backlit posters have much more definition – even from a distance viewers will be able to see the fine details, colours and contrasts of your poster design. Because the poster is lit from behind and therefore glows it’s perfect for situations when you want your poster to be visible at night too. This style of poster is often used in cinemas but is also a great choice for spaces such as airports, shopping malls, storefronts and restaurants. Such is the exceptional quality of backlit posters, photographers often display backlit poster prints of their work in art galleries.
Researchers are still unraveling how these unexploded ordnances affect human and environmental health. According to a study published last month in the journal Royal Society Open Science, some actually become more dangerous over time: Many bombs contain a substance called Amatol, which becomes more volatile when exposed to iron and other metals found in soil. As they deteriorate, these leftover bombs can also “leak into the environment,” per the study, “poisoning ecological receptors and contaminating the surrounding soil and groundwater.”
The 500-kilogram (1,110-pound) ordnance was discovered last Wednesday during exploratory work for a construction project in the city of Mainz, located about an hour’s drive west of Frankfurt. When experts with the Rhineland-Palatinate explosive ordnance disposal service responded, they determined the bomb would need to be defused.
