Best Stadium in the World

If i could do just one thing again in my life it would be stand on the Kippax the day the King made his comeback against Newcastle. Near 30 years on its still sends shivers down my spine.

Maine Road was magnificent and it was ours ad i loved it and felt at home there.


The only stadium i have been truly overwhelmed by though is Lords. Its the one place where all the greats of Cricket have played.

Maine Road. The buzz I got walking round the corner of Santiago Street was awesome. I could smell the place.

That was probably the smell of dogshit alley, no.1 and no.2 passage that ran between Claremont Rd and The Kippax car park ;-)

I also liked the way we employed loads of different architects over decades to design 4 different stands that were so mismatched you couldn't fail to love it. Plus the poor folk in that deathtrap looking, uncovered part between the north stand and the kippax. Style.

The crazy looking Olympic one in Beijing looked amazing

That is fucking insane.

Would you even watch the team on the pitch or basically just end up watching the match on tv

It's hard to imagine it being anything other than an enormous distraction.

My mate has been to The Cowboys Stadium in Dallas
He said it was amazing. Has the world's largest hd tv hanging off the roof. He was sat on a huge leather seat and could order beer from it with a push of a button
He said it puts all uk stadiums to shame

Yeah its good and all, but its not a patch on Gigg Lane.

That giant telly belongs to a single mother of three who lives three streets down.

There is some beautiful cricket grounds around the world especially the West Indies and in Adelaide you can lie on a grass banking, watch cricket and get pissed. The one in, I think south Africa, with the huge mountain at the side takes the biscuit.

Newlands, in Cape Town?

Definitely a good shout for best location.

Yep. Cheers pal.

If the cricket was rained off I'd still be in the stand looking at that.

Might as well watch that 10 seconds of action more than once while they spend 10 minutes getting ready for the next 10 seconds of actual play. Knowing the Americans though, they'll probably just use it to play more massive adverts.
