Walkers Stadium is just a blue version of St. Marys Stadium IMO.

Unfortunately there are far too many like this!

And if you thought that was bad, try telling the difference between these two:

If we go on like some do in this thread, then every rectangular Stadium with a roof is a look-a-like of any other rectangular Stadium with a roof. It is impossoble to re-invent the principle of a football stadium every two years. They look all the same to a certain extend because they were all built for the same purpose.

So, you will always find simularities in size, general shape or steepness. So what? Do you complain about a Mercedes being a look-a-like of a Volvo because they both have four wheels and the engine in front?

If we really talk about look-a-likes, then we should focus on special features that are copied, or take two stadiums that have identical structures, as if they were constructed with the exactly same plans.

Take these two sweeties here:

http://www.footballgroundguide.com/derby_county/derby30.jpg

http://www.footballgroundguide.com/middlesbrough/photo3.jpg

Besides the roof and this tower in the corner(s?) in Derby, they are identical. Thea have the absolutely same system of entrances and stairs, even those access paths going all through the stands. Also the Ratio between main stand and the other sides is the same, with the main stand being the only two-tier structure and 20% higher than the rest.

But instead of dissing all those 25.000-Seat-rectangular venues, I would like to put the focus on once unique features that are no longer unique, because they were covered somewhere else.
Have a look on this one, a beauty from South Corea. Where else have you seen this idea for a roof structure before...?
http://www.fussballtempel.net/afc/ROK/Seogwipo_A.gif

And a small story from Germany: Walter Hellmich, owner of a huge building company an President of football club MSV Duisburg, some years ago built this stadium for his club:

http://www.red-alan.de/Stadien/duisburg.jpg

When two years later, the city of Dresden searched for an architect/ constructor for a new stadion, he applied with precisely the same stadium, just paintet yellow/black instead of blue/white. But for the rest, it was not just a look-a-like, but it was a twin. Thanks god the city chose someone else. Mr. Hellmich never understood why many Dresden fans did not like the idea of playing in a 100%-copy at all. Instead, he was convinced until the very end that the existance of this stadium somewhere else would even improve hin chances in the bidding process in Dresden.
I suppose words like "pride" or "identity" don't mean much to him, especially not when it's about football.

are you sure we arnt looking at the same stadium?

its the same stadium... if anything, I think Zeno2 is from Milan and he is an AC Milan fan.

You see... that stadium is shared by the two Milan teams, AC Milan and Inter Milan. If I am not mistaken, Giuzeppe Meazza was the name of some Inter Milan player, or maybe founder. THUS, AC Milan fans call the stadium by another name, San Siro (I would guess its the name of the neighborhood where it is located?)

Thus, Zeno2 was probably joking that in Inter Milan matches, the stadium is empty, and at AC Milan matches, the stadium is full.
Or something like that.

Giuseppe Meazza played in both AC & Internazionale (that's why they chose his name for the stadium)..... San Siro is simply the former name of the stadium (still used by many people) and, as you said, also the name of the neighborhood.

Many of the medium-sized stadiums recently built in France look (at the inside) like having been built by the same architect:

Le Havre:

Don't misunderstand me, I like them all and I'm a fan of small cities getting their own new stadium at a decent price, it's just that the style is a bit generic.

The Nice project is the same but with a third tier:

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9903/capturedcran20101111091.jpg

The new Lille stadium will be more or less the same but at 50k+ (and some extra facilities and handsome outside look).
