I like watching videos about American football stadiums being rubbish, because you always assume they're palatial compared to proper football stadiums.

That video above wrote:
South - Northants Knights

Because palace derives from the Latin word palatium.
Palace and palatial have different spellings because palace became an English word much earlier. By the time palatial was derived, it was the fashion to consciously go back to Latin when inventing new words.
