In Holland it's de Kuip from Feyenoord quite sure.....
I've been in Nou Camp, everybody told me it was soooooo impressive but when I saw I was a bit disappionted, is that the most beautiful stadium in Spain, or Bernabeu???

I like football-only stadiums, because there is more atmosphere. I can't chose wich one is the most beautiful lol. I'd got with Celtic Park, and Bollaert in Lens. :ph34r:

In Italy the best stadium is PROBABLY San Siro (even if they have grass problems as we said in another trhead).
The worse is WITHOUT DOUBTS Delle Alpi.

In terms of looks then its the Millenium, but thats in Wales and is a national stadium, so probably St James' Park (Newcastle) for looks in England. And Atmosphere, i was well impressed with Highbury (but thats a dump)

Aylesbury United's Buckingham Road stadium.
Check it out...
Good enough for England to train at.
Seriously, in England I really cant comment as I've only been to about 6 or 7 stadiums. :ph34r:

True Zeman, though on grass terms Delle Alpi is much better than San Siro  Anyway when they will finish the new Delle Alpi it's going to be class (English style)!

We're talking about most beautiful mate..
If you ask foreigners, most will simply say ArenA is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world!
And I think it is too.. it is beautiful, even tho the atmosphere is not always great..

Since I am in the US, guess it would be Pasadena Rose Bowl.
Now for the best looking one, I rather liked the one in Cardiff where the FA cup is played.

in India, there arent too many football stadiums
well the most popular is the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
its pretty huge....120000 seater
it home to 4 clubs
East Bengal
Mohun Bagan
Mohammedian Sporting
Tollygunge
the first two clubs are the most popular in india....they are arch rivals...during derby days the stadium is overful with more than 120000 people.....though it exceeds its maximum capacity!

I would love to say OT by I have to agree with IBES, the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff is fantastic, inside and outside
Neither OT or COMS are very pleasing on the eye outside at ground level if im gonna be frank
Cant judge the Millenium for atmosphere though as only cup finals are played there so are guaranteed to be louder, except when arsenals 10,000 fans turn up to fill their 30,000 allocation

In England a few stand out.
Obviously over the last ten years or so, loads of new stadiums have been built, and many others have been majorly revamped.
A hate the pre-fab generic St Mary's Riverside Pride of Light Walkers Stadium, that several clubs have adopted.
Disgraceful. For views and facilities etc, they may be good, but they're soulless and plastic, and there's half a dozen clubs with exactly the same stadium.
Stadiums in England that I like:

Yes, there is bias being a Newcastle fan, but it is genuinely a lovely ground. I love the way that the roof of the Milburn and Leazes stands (the two big ones) jopin up, and have transparent panels in the roof to let the light in.
I like the way that it's lop-sided as well. It adds something.
The East stand (on the right) can't be built up anymore because behind the stand is a beautiful Georgian terrace which is grade one listed.
The Gallowgate (at the bottom) may at some stage be built up, and have the road behind go underneath, but because of the East stand, it will always be lop sided, and I like that.

Old Trafford. A superb ground.

It's a bit scruffy, but although you can't really see it on the picture, Goodison Park's got a lot of character about it, and I quite like it.

The Reebok Stadium. I think it looks great and it didn't cost a great deal to build.
Boro, Derby, Southampton, Stoke et al the other pre-fab clubs take note.

Not my favourite, but I do like Anfield a lot.

Highbury's great. I really love all the Art-Deco stuff. The away end isn't the greatest, but it's not that bad.
Grounds in England I like that I haven't been to.

The City of Manchester Stadium looks stunning.

The Kingston Communications Stadium in Hull. I can't believe that that is a THIRD DIVISION ground. It's quality!
