How Many Stadiums Have You Been To?

[Pyfish 1,376]

How many stadiums have you been to?

I've not been to many at all which is a shame but I intend to change that over the coming months/years!

[Smiley Culture 1,360]

94.

Bristol City’s Ashton Gate is going to be number 95 next month. I probably won’t do any new new grounds after that this season, I don’t think. 

 

[Danny 1,244]

A handful essentially.

Griffin Park

Loftus Road

Vicarage Road

Kenilworth Road

Stamford Bridge

Craven Cottage

Upton Park

Madejski Stadium (not for football)

Wembley

County Ground

Stadium MK

Ricoh Arena

Villa Park

Camp Nou (Stadium tour only)

Allianz Stadium (Sydney FC)

 

[Stan 10,970]

Off the top of my head:

Filbert Street
King Power Stadium
Old Wembley
New Wembley
Loftus Road
Goodison Park
Emirates
Old Trafford
Stamford Bridge
Craven Cottage
Madejski Stadium
Villa Park
White Hart Lane
Stadium:MK
Nene Park (Rushden & Diamonds old stadium)
Telia Parken
Vicente Calderon
New Eyrie
Kenilworth Road
 

Saved the best til last obviously.

Done loads of stadium tours but not counting them (some included above aside from watching a game there).

[tlr 167]

I make it 88, everything from Wembley to Falmouth Town in Cornwall. Best are the old ones laden with character, places like Roots Hall (Southend) or York Street (Boston); the worst are the pre-packed identical dross like the Madejski or the Reebok. Should hopefully make it well over 100 by the end of the season.

[Dan 1,386]

Made myself a table of the 92 when I was at a loose end last year. Will dig it out and get it stuck in here. At the point now where I've got to try and get it done.

Nice. Which one was the best, and why is it Düsseldorf?

That's hard to tell.

Architecturally probably the Berlin Olympic Stadium, but of course the tartan track is pretty bad for the atmosphere.

From the modern stadiums I like that in St. Pauli pretty much. It's really well built and still has a bit of St. Pauli character.

Apart from that I always liked the Ruhrstadion in Bochum.

and why is it Düsseldorf?

Now made it to 111, hopefully with another couple before the end of the season. Had a quick gander and have 39 of the current 92, mostly from the top two leagues.

Here is mine

[Smiley Culture 1,360]

Mrs might be off to The Wirral for a work thing in November on a Saturday and asked if I wanted to go. Jumped at the chance. Not done Tranmere before. Looked, they’ve got a yet to be drawn FA Cup game. Liverpool, not been there either? Home to City that weekend, no chance of a reasonably priced ticket for that. Best I can find so far that is definitely on the Saturday is Lower Breck or Cammell Laird v Maine Road or Oswestry Town in something called the Macron Cup. 

[tlr 167]

Wrong side of the Mersey but you also have Marine (Crosby) at home that weekend in the league, and potentially Litherland in the same cup if they get through.

[Smiley Culture 1,360]

57/91, at the minute. That’s before a couple of clubs go up/down and another couple move. 

Been to 96 grounds overall, so four off three figures. I should really aim to wipe three off pretty quickly when normal life resumes and do somewhere big for 100. 

[tlr 167]

178 I make it; including 50 of the '92'. The last was Derby 3-0 Rovers on Sunday 8 March. The next is...
