Funny Stadiums and Stands - Page 31

I don't see how some of them are funny.... Udine, Napoli and few others you posted are quite good grounds. Some other might be outdated and ugly, but apart from Florence and Siena nothing is really "funny"

You should post those in that "ugly stadiums" thread

Not sure if I want to use the word funny, but Ive always though that the small section of seats in the near corner looks quite 'interesting' and it makes me wonder why they built it.

I guess if you get bored of the match you could always hit a few golf balls.

Look's like an executive terrace. Where is it?

Here's Marvin Lee Stadium in Macoya, Trinidad and Tobago which is home to the wonderfully named Joe Public FC.

They have the smallest 3 tiered stand I've seen.

Nobody has mentioned the Vicente Calderón stadium in Madrid? It has a motorway (Well, half of it) running below the seats.

Both T&T entries in the CONCACAF Champions League actually played their qualifying matches at Marvin Lee Stadium, the giant soccer ball looks funny on TV.

Thanks to ReiAyanami: Ballpark turned football ground resulting in the biggest mess of a stadium I have ever seen.

Well at least its getting used for something, and stands aren't too far from the field, even if the sight lines are off and the biggest stand is in the corner.

Pretty good adaptive reuse, I think. Estadio Juan Ramón Loubriel in Bayamon, Puerto Rico is the same way.

where is that stadium please, the symbols on the back of the stand look hellenic? As does one of the words spelled out on the seating...Greece?

dande · August 26th, 2010, 12:04 PM

The stadium looks ok but the surroundings look run down and desolated.

That's the baseball stadium for the Olympics in Athens...
