The Stadia Thread.

Newcastle, many years ago

and slightly more recently

 

[Teddy Ruxpin]

It was designed like that and is complete for now; but it was built with the intention of building the fourth stand if and when needed.

The car park was an Asbestos tip and has made the cost to build a forth stand somewhat prohibitive.

It's arrived, it's a beast of a book. There are some stunning photos in it, thanks again for mentioning it.

Crikey, that pitch looks like it’s AI generated!

New Road in days of yore.

As it’s that Wimbledon time of year, the old no.1 court.

LA Dodgers rounders stadium, don’t ever let the Yanks say cricket is boring !

Met-Life, thankfully we were under the overhang away from the rain.

Atlanta, +90f outside and humid. Inside was AC’d to perfection - by far the best sports facility I have been to.

You must have been standing right by me as I have the same pic - 225B Row 7 Seat 13.....just under the overhang as well...!!!

 

[PortoWolf (was SanFran)]

I've been fortunate to visit quite a few stadiums including the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta and I agree, it's an absolutely incredible place.

 

[NewOrder306]

It was great to get out of that heat and into the perfect temp inside.....odd feeling though...

Can't for the life of me understand why MetLife is hosting the final. Should've been Mercedes Benz or Sofi

 

[NJ Wolves]

Can't for the life of me understand why MetLife is hosting the final. Should've been Mercedes Benz or Sofi

As someone who lives 10 miles from MetLife... Yup.

Really is a strange choice isn't it. I can only assume that given the last time the US hosted the tournament the final was in LA they decided to give the East coast the go. SoFi seems the obvious choice by far.

 

[WKFWolf]

As someone who lives 10 miles from MetLife... Yup.

other end of the car park?

 

[Munro Munro]

Azteca Stadium 1986 World Cup Final Germany v Argentina, i was there, also at the hand of God game and Paraguay, one heck of a stadium and experience.

 

[jackdusty]

Highly recommend a visit to Genoa, great stadium that creates a brilliant atmosphere.

Here's one I completely forgot. Was visiting friends in Cork and near Limerick back in ... 2001 ... I think? Anyway, to my surprise, I ended up watching Limerick vs. Tipperary at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. At least I think that was the teams. It was definitely Limerick and I'm reasonably sure the other team were Tipperary because somebody made a joke on the way down in the car that "you can always tell a Tip man because he'll be the one folding the tin-foil he wrapped his sandwiches in to use it again"...

So, yes, Páirc Uí Chaoimh... I was in the curve at the other end of this picture and it was basically constant 'limbs', just like a packed, old-school football terrace.



EDIT: just realised that I think it was the Munster Senior Hurling Championship 2001.
