Stadiums around Europe

Hopefully i'll be there in May, I applied for Europa League final tickets and its there

 

Nou Camp and San Mames were cracking stadiums

Would love to see the Estadio Du Luz

 

Bordeaux - Matmut Stadium





Lille - Pierre Mauroy





Lyon - Stade des Lumières







Monaco - Louis II





Nice - Allianz Riviera





Saint-Etienne - Geoffroy-Guichard

 

I've visited there twice and was stunned by how beautiful it is outside, the gardens are all landscaped and is the best I've seen outside any stadium and I've been to over 250

The stadium is about the right size and is stunning.

Westfalen is indeed incredible as is Allianz but loudest I've been to in Germany was probably Dresden although Union Berlin and St Pauli are not far behind.

Koln and Eintracht Frankfurt rarely get mentioned but have a superb noise

Marseille does look one I need to do soon and also look out for the new Zenit one, looks amazing as do many of the new Russian ones.

Barcelona I never tire of visiting but the redevelopment will probably take it to a new level.

Surprised to see Liverpool being mentioned, the atmosphere there has always been massively overplayed, the new Wembley is amazing but would imagine only at really big games is it atmospheric as its so * huge inside.

 

Love the stadium that only has two stands at the side of a big rocky hill. Cant remember the team but I think we played them in the Uefa cup a few years ago.

 

Braga

 

Thats the one babe.

 

I actually didn't know anything had happened to it, just googled there and aye that's terrible, hope no lasting damage is done to it.

All of them French stadiums are amazing Lyonniste. Some of them don't really look like Football stadiums from the outside at all either.

Arena Națională - Romania.

 

Den Haag's stadium. Looks a comfy wee ground.




Probably one of the weirdest stadiums in the world, La Bombenera.

 

That's the first time I've seen Den Haag and that looks superb, Bucharest also looks tremendous with a bit of thought put into the exterior design.

 

boca stadium looks so * steep,

 

Mainz.



Frankfurt.

 

250 is some feat, is it something of a hobby for you?

Stade de la Licorne - France.





Stade des Alpes - France

 

Gand - Belgium

 

Stade de Gerland - France (Lyon)

 

It sort of turned that way, I'm not one of these trainspotters groundhopper types but have lived in several countries including many years in England where I did almost all of the grounds down there about 20 years back, with all the Scottish, the new ones down there that have been built and regularly being abroad working for long spells it soon totted up when I tried to do a count last year, I've done over 50 in Germany also as lived in Ruhr region where there are literally professional clubs every couple of miles, all this said I'd never been to a game at Lesser Hampden until last September :smiley-laughing002:

 

Rapid Vienna is building a new stadium, capacity 28.000 for national games:


It will look like this in the end:



Edit: Opening on 17th july against FC Chelsea.

 

How can all these teams and countries afford the stadiums?

Some of them are amazing and a fair few have cost loads aswell.
