Best Stadiums

[Deleted member 77198]

It's always puzzled me why Bradford City don't just sell their ground and share Odsal.

It's a miles better stadium than Valley Parade.

No contest. Bradford Bulls could do with the money, if they had Bradford City as tenants n’all it might get them back up to Super League.

Between them they might be able to modernise Odsal a bit too.

It’s nowhere near as big as it was but it’s still a good stadium:

Just needs a lick of paint, some deweeding and some new toilets here and there.

Also think the University Of Bolton Stadium is a good stadium:

I've always liked the way that the design retains the floodlights at each corner.

I can't think of any other new grounds which do.

The Academy Stadium takes some beating for small grounds:

Emirates.

I don't get the love for Craven Cottage, I've always found it to be a mish mash of just 25% old interesting bits, 25% lovely setting, but 50% really crap, modern cheap bits bolted on. And it's too small.

I like the Bernabeu, the Emirates, and Wembley. Oh and Lord's if I can have a non-football ground.

In the US (as the OP is there, and he asked!) I really enjoyed Minute Maid Park which I was surprised at because it looks awful from the outside.... very boring, but it's cool inside.
Oh and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta is pretty damn impressive.

Quite agree, all those fuckin tube stations in London some a few hundred yards apart
Craven Cottage 20mins from one and a brisk walk at that

Last season it took sodding ages cos the nearest was shut (just to piss me off I might add)

A lot of stadiums in Great Britain are very unremarkable and lack character.

I would say the Principality Stadium in Cardiff is unique and remarkable.

Also think the University Of Bolton Stadium is a good stadium:

The first 3 pics oh yes and we have a roof.

Olympicstadion Berlin, historic and atmospheric.
In the UK St James park is fantastic

The Millennium Stadium was built for the 1999 Rugby World Cup on the site of the old Cardiff Arms Park which had a superb atmosphere.
Don't think the new stadium matches it (perhaps I have nostalgia-tinted glasses), but in terms of a central location and still a very good atmosphere, this is hard to beat.
Unfortunately, City never played here when the F.A. Cup & Play Offs were played there when Wembley was being rebuilt.
A few Trafford Tinkers fans say it was a brilliant weekend when they played there, several times.

No we didn’t, but we did play TNS there in the UEFA Cup

The roof was on and didn't think it was anything special. Under 10k on though.

Emirates the best, Brighton not bad,

The Anne Boleyn was one of the work for location, space, fan facing views, the new one has pathetic views and location also very bad, but the facilities are good and spacious.
