I was just looking through some site filled with all of the worlds major soccer stadiums, and there are some really sweet ones. Sure the big ones are sweet, like San Siro and Amsterdam ArenA, but some of the lesser known ones are pretty sweet. There's like hundreds on this site, but here are a few that I really liked.
![]() Stadio Renzo Barbara - Palermo ![]() Atatürk Olympia Stadi - It's new and in Turkey, not sure who'll play there ![]() Estadio Azteca - Club America in Mexico That's all I care to find now, but post others, and those from other sports as well. Dont Mess With Kids |

Is it Houston's baseball park that has that hill in centerfield? I always thought that was an interesting (meaning "weird") choice. Reminds me of playing ball in the side yard as a kid.

What about McCovey Cove in San Francisco? I always thought that was a cool feature. Rent canoes to chase home run balls.

Yeah McCovey cove is cool, isn't there like an open bit down by the walkway so people walking can catch a glimpse too?

Fenway Park is pretty different, built between 4 streets. Fits with Boston though, since there is really no type of grid system at all in the city - one of the streets is a diagonal angle, making the park have different shape.
Shea Stadium also has all that shit going on in the outfield, like the big ass apple and a few other things. I heard that place is a shithole though, haven't been yet but I'll make there at some point (well before they close it) |

I went to Shea once and it was terrible. I grew up in the Vet so I was use to terrible stadiums, but Shea was pretty much the worse stadium I have ever been to.
Also I always liked the waterfalls in the Royals Stadium. |

I went to Shea last Summer, and from your seat it does look like quite a nice ballpark. It's a bit scruffy from the ground though.

Obviously I have to post the Withdean, considering, until next season, they played in the 2nd highest league in English football.

Its ridiculously big and you're meant to be able to see it from absolutely miles away when its lit up. It's also makes it recognisable and gives it something so you recognise it as a landmark when you're in London. "Oh thers Big Ben, oh theres Buckingham Palace, oh theres the Wembley Arch" etc. |

"I got a cab from the airport, and the cab driver says 'Welcome to Melbourne, where are you from?'. When I tell him I'm Irish, first thing he says is 'Not doing too well in the Commonwealth Games, eh?'
So I replied 'Didn't you hear, the Irish decided not to come. There was a big argument, it's been in all the news, the papers, the radio everywhere. In fact, the argument's been going for about 800 years as to whether we'd be in this year's Commonwealth Games". |
