This is an interesting one because it's all down to personal choice and experience. Obviously grounds like the Nou Camp (Camp Nou) are impressive but would you rather visit there or an English lower league stadium? They both have their merits.
Having grown up pre - "Hillsborough" , I've visited most major, and minor, stadiums in England. The old Anfield was a great place to go. As was Old Trafford. However, due to the facts that my English team (Oldham Athletic) have spent most of their existence in the lower reaches of the league, I'm more familiar with Prenton Park and Millmoor.
The atmosphere at such grounds can equal anything at the so called bigger stadiums. Also, having lived overseas during the rise of the English Premier League I have slightly different memories of certain English grounds. For example, the last time I went to Newcastle, there were huge gaping holes around the ground. The attendance was something like like 15,000. Of that figure, 3,000 were from Oldham. Not quite the 60,000+ they were getting during the last couple of seasons.
I've also been to a crumbling Stamford Bridge when there were barely 10,000 in the ground.

Yes I know what you mean. But I found it intereesting espacially of the comments. Allian Arena in Munich isn't mine. I don't like the Stadium. It isn't made for fans and that's why often called "commercial arena". It took me long to got a list of my stadiums. And a few of them are for private or own reason's too. 1. Signal Iduna Park - Borussia Dortmund Definately one of the most impressive stadiums I ever have had been in. And the South stand has a capacity of 25. 000 people stance. I think this is outstanding in the world for a five star ranked stadium. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Signal_Iduna_Park?uselang=de2. Philips Stadium - PSV Eindhoven This is definately my personal favourite. It is simply nice, in the middle of the city. When you want to enter your seat, you have to enter it from the ground flour of the stadium. The whole stadium will open up in front of you. That's impressive. And its having a touch of the english Stadiums. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Philips_Stadion?uselang=de3. Zentral Stadium Leipzig It was the biggest Stadium on German ground, until his rebuilding for the WC 2006. In 1988 I saw my first European Cup Game there. It was between Lok Leipzig and SSC Neapel. I saw Maradonna playing there. I was just 14 Year of age. The capacity of the Stadium that was 100.000. Now they had build they new one, right into the old one. Which I find very interesting. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Zentralstadion?uselang=de4. The Milenium Stadium in Cardiff 5. The New Wembley - simply amazing 6. The Maracana in Rio 7. The old Kop 8. Bruno Plache Stadium in Leipzig It is the homeground of my local supported club. The only roof stand at this stadion is made from wood. She was build in 1932, and is still in the original condistions. This means it is the oldest wooden roof stand in Germany. Right before of the start of the new season, around 200 supporters helped to renovated the stadium to increase the capacity from 5.000 to 7.000. http://www.lok-blog.de/?p=1428Thats it, more or less  |

Korat's new stadium is certainly one of them so I'll nominate that as my choice. |

The Big Ten Conference is the United States' oldest Division I college athletic conference. Its eleven member institutions are located primarily in the Midwestern United States, stretching from Iowa and Minnesota in the west to Pennsylvania in the east.
Despite the conference's name, since Penn State joined in 1990, there have been 11 schools in the Big Ten, as signified by the hidden "11" in the Big Ten Conference
Hmm... hidden"11", eh? That sounds really like a yank's logic, alright. Are they still playing on the corn fields?  |

I can't believe I've only just noticed this thread! I'm a football ground obsessive! Loko' the Zentral Stadion is my favourite ground in the world! The idea of building the new ground inside the 'carcass' of the old ground was a beautiful idea and showed a respect and acknowledgement of the past that is completely missing from modern stadium design in the UK. Aside from the Zentralstadion, I love the San Paolo in Naples, the Velodome in Marseille and Braga's ground in Portugal. As SRS said, smaller grounds have their merits too and in this category I would go for Great Yarmouth's ground in Norfolk, England. It has the oldest stand in the country but it's in wonderful condition and looks like a 19th century train station! As for top ten stadia in Thailand...I think top three would be more appropriate! Thai stadia are built for function and have very little architectural merit. My top three would be: 1. Korat - obviously 2. Thammasat - one of the few stadia, possibly the only one, where metal has been favoured over concrete and looks much the better for it. 3. Supachalassai - stands are closer to the pitch than at Rajamangala which helps the atmosphere and it is more attractive outside than the concrete monster of Rajamangala. I realise a thread like this doesn't really work without photos so I'll try and get some up of the aforementioned stadia later. |

The first one, made from the outside, I can tell you that it still look the same. They didn't change the outfit on the outside. The Yarmouth stadium is really an interesting one. Very lovely. |

Have you been to the Zentralstadion often? I'm desperate to go there one day! I think no team plays there at the moment. Is that right? Saschen Leipzig moved out and Red Bull Leipzig are yet to move in?

Long story and I try to make it short. At the Zentralstadion I had been 5 times all together. Three times in the old one. One was in 1988, Cup of the Cupwinners Cup vs SSC Neaple (with Maradona), one was one of the latest Friendlies or Qualifer (Can't remember) of the GDR nationalteam. And than in 1993/94, the Bundesliga season for Leipzig. Game was vs Frankfurt. This link guides you to the ticket of the Neaple match. It's mine. And I am still proud to have it. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Eintrittskarte_Lok_Leipzig.jpgActually both Lok Leipzig as well as Sachsen Leipzig have their own Stadiums. Both are very old. The onces from Lok is from 1922. Lok is only playing in the Zentral, if the police doens't allow them to play in their own stadium. E.g. the derby vs Sachsen. Cause this is the most hardest rivalry you can see in Germany within a city. And the derby is always attracting up to 15.000!! There is always the highest security level. Sachsen this year went down from 4th to 5fth league. So both are not able to afford the rent for the Zentral. And that's the reason they moved out or even not move in. Red Bull, as yu may know, is a newly formed club, by taking over an other one. Same like with Pattaya United. And they only play in the Zentral if they have to play vs Sachsen or Lok. Or some other high security games. but of course, later one, they will move in if they go up in the pyramid. And god damn, I hope they don't do and struggle. Even I cannot imagine that RedBull will withdraw from Germany football scene sooner or later if their is no success. Btw, once you have the chance to go there, I only can recommend you to have trip to my hometown. I guess it is interesting for you to see. Cause my hometown is Colditz. The City with the famous Castle. At least famous in England. It's a 45 minute ride from Leipzig by car, south direction. |

I realise a thread like this doesn't really work without photos so I'll try and get some up of the aforementioned stadia later. I completely agree with you about Suphachalasai being more atmospheric then Rajamangala. The latter is a bit too cavernous and bland for my liking. Suphachalasai   Rajamangala   Thammasat   Khorat   My personal favourite...PAT Stadium   |

Re Rajamangala - You get an entirely different perspective when you are on the pitch. The stands look much close and it feels as if the crowd are right on top of you. It's a strange experience because when you are in the stands you do feel so far away.

Wow! You saw the Maradona-era Napoli in the Zentralstadion. You are my new hero!! On the subject, I would recommend 'Once Upon a Time in Naples' by John Ludden for people who like football books. It's about Maradona's seven years in Naples. |

Well, the whole area around the stadium, is frequently used by several events. The Stadium and the Hall is used for concerts and big shows. Swimmhall is used as public swimmhall. The Olympic tower does also have public entrance. And you can go up on the roof and walk around, having a nice view over Munich. It also contains a restaurant. But so far as I know, even they have a lot of events there, and the people like to go to this park espacially in summer, they don't make any profit. Even loss. But it will be intersting to see what will happen, if Munich get the Olypmic Wintergames 2018.

Thanks for that. I have to include Stamford, too. The Peterborough - Leicester line runs immediately behind one stand. It must be one of the closest railway lines to a football ground in England. The stand literally sits on top of the railway embankment. Interesting to note the price of a ticket from Aberdeen to Plymouth  |

I think it's both. Big bowls can amaze you as well as small ones. I like the small ones too, but beeing part of a 100.000 crowd can blow your mind. |

Yes. Point yourself out in this photo, Loko The Zentralstadion (Sorry, I mean 'Red Bull Arena' ) in its heyday Unfortunately yes. There is a club playing named RB Leipzig. The bought one smaller club down the pyramid and are on their way to the Bundesliga. They had to call themself RB = Rasenballsport as company names are not allowed in Germany and it is not allowed that companies own a club. However the whole management and club getting their wages from Krating Daeng. I don't like to name that that drink in the same way SRS doens't like to Name PU It is still believed that during the 1987 semi final Cup Winners Cup match against Bordeaux, 120.000 were in the stadium. Even though the official figures were much less below 100k. |

I've always found that really satisfying. Say it out loud now and enjoy the orderliness of it: "G-A-L-A-T-A-S-A-R-A-Y". Just me? I'll get my hat.  Incidentally, the stadium didn't look all that intimidating. A traditional oval shape and it only held about 25,000. But Giggs and Maldini, among others, rated it as the most intimidating that they'd played at. |

I didn't read all the comments below the article but I'm hoping that one of them mentioned the banner unfurled at Elland Road in the return match between L**ds and Gallatasary. It said simply, "Welcome To Civilisation". Class. Curse you SRS for making me read those comments , just in case. I din't find the one you wanted, but apparently Liverpool fans took a banner that said something like "Hell? You should try The Grafton on a Saturday night" |

I must point out that 'Gallatasary' is spelt thus Galatasaray. I only point this out because every other letter is 'a'. I've always found that really satisfying. Say it out loud now and enjoy the orderliness of it: "G-A-L-A-T-A-S-A-R-A-Y". Just me? I'll get my hat. Incidentally, the stadium didn't look all that intimidating. A traditional oval shape and it only held about 25,000. But Giggs and Maldini, among others, rated it as the most intimidating that they'd played at. Seeing this pic, it reminds me that I had a similar few into that stadium. Next to stadium is a Hotel tower, and the breakfast room of the hotel is in the very last floor. Nice few from there directly into the stadium. A few years ago I had to travel to turkey frequently. Ankara, Izmir, Istanbul. I never managed to watch any match in turkey though  |

On arrival at the airport, Leeds fans unfurled a huge banner ""hello hell, we are Leeds". Intimidating? before the game the Gala filth murdered two Leeds fans on the streets, numerous other Leeds fans including women and kids were attacked. The perpetrators have never really been bought to justice. Loathe Gala with a passion. Good riddance to their shite stadium and may one day we play them again.

Thing is, Glenn, I imagine that's exactly the kind of response their fans would hope to elicit. |

It certainly looks very large. The stands are about forty rows deep, and, I must admit, it should be an impressive sight when it's full.
It's easy to see how it's going up so quickly, though. In design, the stands are basically just giant 'bleachers': metal floor sections attached to a metal frame – very little concrete (see photos). I just hope thorough safety checks are carried out.
