New Chelsea stadium. The inside is nothing special considering it's brand new. It holds 60k and going off the design it doesn't look like there will be much room for expansion. The Etihad with all 4 sides done will blow it away.

Internally is a bizarre shape for the seating, and from the outside it looks like a white plastic colander.

Apart from that I quite like it.
 
I like the rib effect as far as the roof goes, but as for extending them down to the ground on the outside of the building? Not a fan of that. Makes the building look ugly, like some modernist museum or something. The best-looking stadia, IMO, have glass frontages or LED designs etc.

It may be my OCD, too, but I'd prefer it was symmetrical, not lopsided on one side of the pitch.

Overall, not a bad stadium though.
 
I think that Chelsea stadium looks quite stunning.

Looks totally lob sided both inside and out, why have they slopped of both the top tiers? Are they short of space, looks really odd. Reminds me of the old Southampton ground, the Dell, where one end behind the goal slopped away as a road ran across the top,of it.
 
Personally I think Spurs have nailed it, and will have the best ground in the country when it's completed.

60k seater, close to the pitch, steep stands, low roof, and an enormous single tier goal end.
 
OK thanks, its just a lot of the internals on that video look like the current stands with a new roof and outer shield.

Can't say I like it personally, maybe it'll be better in reality, I doubt I'll ever go inside anyway, as by the time its finished it'll be a minimum £100 per ticket there anyway.

I reckon it'll make some weird noises on a windy day.
 
Some amazing stadiums out there and I think Stamford Bridge will be one to add. Tottenham's looks very good and the single tier is relatively uncommon so will give them a real identity within the ground. The Etihad is coming a long nicely although I think it will be awhile before we see the finished product, I think the external needs some work in terms of looks once all the stands are completed, not saying it is bad now but we know that our owners want the best. I think the London clubs are very lucky having Wembley as the ability to not need their ground whilst doing work is such a benefit. The apperance of the old famous grounds such as Old Trafford and Anfield are going to look like relics compared to these new ones and The Emirates.
 
I think Spurs will have the best, but it's a very generic design at the minute. Arsenal have the best currently but that doesn't mean its the one I enjoy going to most.

Chelsea's will be unique and instantly recognisable. It's almost Soviet-esque which is perhaps unsurprising. The most striking feature to me about it is the fact there are no executive boxes.
