Question Of The Day #14: The Executioner

And, there we go for the week's final question on Football.

After whom was the shared home ground of these two football clubs originally named?


Answer: (Please highlight the text below)

The UPC-Arena (formerly Arnold Schwarzenegger-Stadium) in GrazStyriaAustria, is the home of the football clubs SK Sturm Graz and Grazer AK. It was built in 2000-01 and was named after bodybuilder, actor and governor of the U.S. state of CaliforniaArnold Schwarzenegger, who was born near Graz.
In December 2005, when Schwarzenegger did not stop the execution of Stanley Tookie Williams, an intense discussion in his hometown began about what to do with the stadium that bore his name. After some days, Schwarzenegger revoked the city of Graz's right to the use of his name, ending the debate.
