The Arnold Schwarzenegger Football Stadium in Austria’s second-largest city Graz is to be renamed as a sign of displeasure with the city’s most famous son.

A majority of members on Graz City Council voted to rename the stadium after the Austrian-born governor of California approved the execution of Stanley “Tookie” Williams, according to newspaper Kleine Zeitung.

The Terminator-turned-governor was born six kilometres outside Graz in the community of Thal.

“It’s getting on our nerves that we’re again and again being criticised for Schwarzenegger’s actions in California,” said SP Vice Mayor Welter Ferk.
