So it seems that this headline means that the GOP changed their "play" at the last minute.<br /><br />Even so, the short space for the headline makes the structure awkward. My first impression was the same as yours (adjective: "stadium <i>is</i> audible"), not the intended one (noun). The Star Tribune version used the same format ("stadium curve"), but it is much clearer.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549524931034367981noreply@blogger.com
