My fav still has to be the San Siro..... Ok, dated and the facilities leave a lot to be desired, but for atmosphere and take your breath away raw "beauty" its top of my list.

Saw the Chargers play their last year - never been in a ground that loud before. It's on another level.

Was curious if any of you had ever heard of the Calgary Saddledome. It's a hockey arena in Calgary (a city famous for its rodeo and cowboy heritage).

Inside, during the playoffs. We're famous an almost entirely red, jersey-clad audience. No "away" sections in the NHL! 19,200 seats roughly.

Kind of neat, something different for sure.

Spent a lot of time looking at this site, covers all 92 league grounds and lots of non league, and has a personal review on each ground, really good reading.

It's my thread I make the rules

hahah

Anyway, Veltins (FC Shalke) is pretty cool too. It's got a cozy atmosphere for a building that was recently. Close to the touchline, that's the way to be.
