Ultimate Team:Upgrade to a Silver Rated Stadium

How to unlock the Bigger Venue achievement in FIFA 09 - Definitive Guide
When you get one (not a practice arena) use it rather than put it in the album and you will get the achievement
Difficulty: EASY TASK - Time: MINUTES (15 - 20)
All you have to do to get this trophy is to install your first silver rated stadium. To be silver rated, a stadium must have an overall rating of 65 or above. There are two ways to get a silver rated stadium:
- Buy a silver card pack and hope you strike lucky and get one.
- Head onto the trading section and try to buy one.
Silver packs can be bought for 2500 coins in game currency, or for a real world fee of 69c in the Playstation Store. You can only purchase a silver pack once you have played 6 matches in Ultimate Team mode. Warning: you can buy multiple packs without hitting on a silver stadium.
Trading for a silver stadium is quicker, cheaper and generally a better bet. Tweak the search to look for silver info cards for a maximum price of 150 coins.
The cards nearest to finishing their auction times will come up first. From here there are two methods that work really well: Spread-Betting and Card-Sniping.
Spread-Betting: Basically, spread your coins around by taking a punt on several cards. Bet the minimum, preferably 150 coins. If you get lucky, you will pick one or more cards up for a steal.
Card-Sniping: Find a card which is minutes from finishing its auction, and has a low bid or even no bid at all. Wait for the clock to tick down and with about two seconds left, bid on the card. There are usually a few others who will try this at the same time. So to increase your odds, increase your margin up. If the current bid is 150, bump it up to 300 or 350 instead of 200. With a little patience, you can easily pick up a manager on the cheap.
As soon as you put the stadium in your pack the trophy will unlock.
