skyperu34 · November 10th, 2004, 12:41 AM

Alexander21 · November 10th, 2004, 02:04 AM

I have been to this stadium (Euro 2004 QF - Greece 1 France 0). Its a great stadium. It is very colouorful in terms of its seating but its facilities are great and you get a great view from anywhere you sit. Also it has great accoustics which for me is more imporrtant than the colour of the seats.

hngcm · November 13th, 2004, 07:35 AM

PLEASE change the colors....

jclornton · November 13th, 2004, 01:04 PM

So, the stadium doesn't look empty when Sporting's playing at home.

Great idea....for teams that can't quite fill huge stadiums. Nothing worse than playing infront of empty stands.

Awesome stadium.

The seat colouring makes it look as if people are there even though they aren't.

heavyzakura334 · November 15th, 2004, 10:47 AM

Well, I prefer Benfica eventhough I am Mexican, but I must say the Sporting Stadium is awesome

Great stadium for a crappy team!

Paulo2004 · December 27th, 2004, 02:03 AM

A team that is in third in the Portuguese soccer League and that is through to the next round of the UEFA cup does not seem to be a crappy team?!

Even though I bleed blue and white I got much respect for the Sportinguistas. With the exception of those who support the small clubs, the Sportinguistas are the most admirable for sticking to their club through thick and (mostly) thin. Remember, they have to live side-by-side with the vermelhos. I can't even wish that to my worst enemies.

On topic, don't care about seat colors nor the tiles but the design and layout are class! For a large stadium it is very tight and steep! Very conducive to a proper futebol atmosphere. And, to top it off, Spain, France and the Netherlands were eliminated in the same place. So it already has history.

Too bad it has to be occupied by the 3rd most important team in the country. Speaking of which...I read that they'll open up capacity for the derby match. It's 47,500. They say that they can raise it to 53,000. How is that possible? Don't they already count the executive boxes as part of capacity?
