I like to travel a lot to watch various games of the football/soccer.
I also like to photograph games and also the stadia they take place in, so I'll start to post some of the stadia I have been to.

First up is the Ullevål Stadium in Oslo which also doubles as the Norwegian Natinal Stadium - these pictures come from the Vålerenga vs. Lyn Oslo game, played in August 2004:

What a great way to start off

Really cool pictures! Who ended up winning that game?

And Welcome to the SSC S&B forum!

Ullevål is my favorite football stadium in the region. I've never been there, but once I get to go to Oslo I'm definitely going to visit it. Oslo should also build a new athletics stadium. Bislet is a very nice one, but kinda small. Norwegians are so much into sports that I bet a new stadium would be a very profitable investment.

Ohh, that is wonderful!! Too bad the sunlight destroyed some of the photos.

I will be on a game at Ullevaal later this year, when Start plays against Vålerenga. But I'm tempted to go see more matches with Vålerenga, because it is an incredible atmosphere when they play at home.

Bislett (Finished in 1940 and used in the 1952 winter olympics) has been torn down.

A new stadium is being built i the same spot. A bit bigger and 8 running tracks instead of the old six.

But typically, the city council has exceeded their budget so they won't be able to build a roof over half the stadium as they wanted this year.

They are trying to get it ready for the Golden League event this summer.

Edit:
I have made a thread about Bislett: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=193911
