The worlds greatest football stadiums.Post a picture of one.

Strahov, capacity 220 thousand.

Early next year Mexico’s Club Deportivo Guadalajara will be playing football in a brand new stadium which has been modelled on, of all things, a volcano. French architects Massaud decided, along with help from the Mexican FA, that they should highlight the El Templo Mayor’s ecological design by disguising it as a lava-spewing hill. How can that be done? First of all, the lower half of the stadium itself will be surrounded by an incline of grass, resulting in the pitch itself sitting within what seems to be an artificial hill.

The roof of the stadium, consisting of white fabric stretched over a steel frame, will form the cloud of smoke hovering above the volcano with relatively narrow column supports ensuring the cloud never gets too close. This roof will also serve as a gigantic projection screen, home to large-scale advertisements directed towards the picnicing families outside on the hill. The final part of the volcanic equation will be the seats, the majority of which will obviously be lava-red.

You're talking about the one in the background, obviously! The foreground is the Ezvena Rosickeho, about 19,000.

Honourable mentions to the Stade Chaban-Delmas


The proper Stadium of Light


And Parc des Princes (wonderful when the PSG fans aren't trying to kill each other)

Would have loved to have gone there Imre, Ajax in the Amsterdam Arena just seems odd, very sanitised if you will

And as you say, OT is an imposing spectacle when you take a step back and think about it, I know I take it for granted! Familiarity breeds contempt they say (obv not contempt but jadedness I suppose)

As recently as 1987 they got a crowd of 137,000 in there even more amazing as it's only meant to have held 120,000, but they oversold it 'cos there were no individual seats.

I hope they go ahead with the re-modelling of the Nou Camp, otherwise you'll likely never see a crowd of 100,000 in Europe again.

Beautiful ground, was disappointed when Benfica left it for the new ground. Would loved to have seen us play in the original Estadio Da Luz.
