Favourite Football Stadium (City Aside)

What's your fave stadium excluding Maine Road and CoMS?.

The best ground i've been too would have to be St.James' park but on tele it's proberly the Camp Nou.

I'm lucky enough to have been to The Emirates 3 times, including once as guest of the club and have to say it never ceases to amaze and impress me each time I go. A fantastic venue.

Nou Camp is out of this world. It's just HUUUUUGGGEEEEE.

I might get slagging for this but I like Upton Park. Good proper football ground.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

upton park proper ground

For atmosphere, a close call between River Plate, La Bombonera (Bocca Jnrs-The name alone is pretty cool, but boringly I think it means The Sweet Tin, or Chocolate Box or something similar.) but Sao Paulo probably just about shades it.

emirates is the most impressive by far for me. Have a soft spot for the old skool stadia like hillsborough also. Also went to bordeaux last season and that was a great old skool stadium

Brantingham Road (home of Maine Road FC). The 'Leaky Creaky Stand' (Billy Ray Cirus did a song about it!) is one of the best places on the planet to watch a game from.

Id have to say Upton Park.. I was right at the back and even then its like you are right over the pitch.Great acoustics and seems to keep all the sound inside the stadium.
