Look just like our emirates stadium.

I've thought it for ages, just on the net and watching the benfica celtic game.

Our concrete bowl was buzzing on saturday and is a very atmospheric setting when the gooners are up for it.

AG was based on Estadio da Luz, although the Benfica one has a slightly bigger capacity and steeper stands. Was there in pre season a few years back, atmosphere was very good.

wasnt it the same designers? defo based on it either way? luz is better though, what with the eagle and shiz. we should have that especially when stan is in town, with a bit of luck the eagle would take a fancy to that dead rat on his head.

The size of stadium is the same but we have fatboy seats.

And rightfully so too - how else would percy manage to attend a game at the grove ?

It always surprises me that Benfica games are never even close to selling out. Or at least it seems to be like that on tv.

Don't know how much they charge for tickets but unemployment rate in Portugal is 16%, compared to something like 5% in North London and 7% in Holland....

Don't they supposedly have a staggering number of members too?

Ticket prices are normally just based on demand, if they're struggling to sell out I'm not sure it will just be because they have unrealistically high prices. Might be wrong though.

This is one of the reasons I hate the Emirates. Unlike Highbury, it isnt unique. You could tell from every picture from the 30s onwards when it was Highbury in the background.

If the club were gonna force out to move then the very least they could have done was to build something especially for us. But the fans feelings are never taken into consideration. We know our role - pay up shut up and sit down!

Must be a godsend though for the designers of FIFA!!
