Narrative:
We were told to intercept the dfw runway 31R localizer. When we proceeded inbound, we were cleared for the 'stadium visual runway 31R' approach when we were southwest of the stadium. This was given later than it should have been because it necessitated that we make a steep turn to get ourselves on track prior to the golf course.
