Berlin is the Best one its Marvelous. Stadium without a track is not a real stadium. The british style one is the worst. You cant see nothing on the low stands and its not safe. You are not competent to comment on stadiums quality. You are obviously an amateur. Stadiums are fine all though the tracks are missing. The Final game must be in Berlin on that Beautiful stadium with a TRACK!
ever been on a match? if u like to watch people of a size of an ants u pick a stadium with the track, but if u want to experience the match as full u can, hear and see players close ( some people r joking u can smell them) u pick an english type of stadium, they r fans who come to the match and watch is as a movie and there r fanatics who treat match as a war, first of them r doing selfies and eat tacos or drink 0% ''beer'', second of them go to home with they throat torn off, stay safe and keep your fingers crossed:)
@@afroman8369 Its super visual, you can see formation you can see the whole action, tricks. If you understand football at all. And then if you didnt noticed they have huge screens that show the replay. Looks like you are just a kid and never experienced a real game. You cant see Jack from those low spots. Specially behind the goal or next to the side lower stands. You see few players from time to time and they block the view of others. And you see them only when they are on that side of the field when they move to the other side you dont see jack. Then people stand up and block your view. And finaly they are so close one to another its super uncomfortable.

What i like about our german stadiums and the tournament in 2024, is that the stadiums are already built as well as the infrastructure and you dont have to waste money on stadiums which will never be used afterwards like in Qatar or Brazil. Also that every stadium is constantly used and matches are attendended by big crowds (usually).
@@irthamepali yeah but how many spectators are coming to the matches in this big arenas? What i want to say is, that these stadiums are way too big and expensive for their regular use during League matches imo.
@@peterenis4170 yes that right! The castelao stadium, where Mexico got eliminated by the Netherlands, is huge for a team like Ceará sporting Clube. At the end of the day was a huge waste of money.
@Brian Mason Old Trafford was upgraded and had a new stand built for the tournament in '96, and the Puskas Arena in Hungary was built in order to host Euro 2020 matches, and only opened this year.
The amazing there is that germany could basically nominate 10 other stadiums aswell and would still be just fine: Hannover, Bremen, Mönchengladbach would most likely be host cities for any other country. Not for germany. The amount of top-class stadiums is insane. Even down in the 3rd or even 4th tier are stadiums that would be well qualified to host a major tournament.

@Brian Mason it’s a dirty game all in all. But after what happened on Sunday I really don’t care if we don’t ever host a major tournament. That being said in nine years I’ll have probably changed my mind

I'm from Nuremberg and I'm so sad we didn't get chosen as a venue unlike in 2006. I still have the stickers of our stadiums from that World Cup on my wall. The Nuremberg octagon looked great back then and still is one of my favourites here in Germany. Totally agree on our designs being cool
There's at least one more European stadium with both a retractable roof and a retractable pitch, that being one of the host stadiums of Euro-2020, Krestovsky stadium of St. Petersburg.
It's somewhat funny that 3 of those stadiums are currently only 2nd tier stadiums: Gelsenkirchen (Schalke 04), Hamburg (HSV) and Düsseldorf (Fortuna). Also: Köln almost became a 2nd tier stadium last season and Stuttgart was just promoted back up to the Bundesliga last season. I'm curious to see if there will be a record number of lower league stadiums at the next Euro
I like watching live football. Been to five in the video (when I took frequent business travels to Germany from 2015 to 2018 before the COVID-19) - Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne and Frankfurt. And my favorite of all Bundesliga stadiums - Borussia Park! Then second - Olympicstaion (it's epic) and third - Mercedes-Benz Arena (it's simply fancy)!
I realy apreciate the old remnants of the Leipzig Zentralstadion. It once had place for around 120k visitors. But this was only official numbers, in reality there could be up to 170k visitors to one Single game a fact that is just amazing imagining so many visitors to a football game
I really like Signal Iduna Park, the view in the ranks is so unique. You really have to look down to the pitch, cause the ranks are very precipitous. My hometown stadium, Deutsche Bank Park or Waldstadion (the old name untill 2006´s World Cup) is ranked as the best stadium in Bundesliga, because of the view. You dont need to turn your head to watch the game, even if you sit in the corner sites. Also the Forest around the Stadium is kinda rare in germany. The stands of the stadium, the Nordwestkurve, gets a little renovation in the next years before the Euro2024. The upper part of it gets flattent and the chairs gonna be removed, so we get a amount of 8.500 more people in there. For a Bundesliga match there will be 60.000 instead of 51.500 for the 2023/24 season.
@TheWideWorldofStadiums 6:55 I'd like to add, that the "Müngersdorfer Stadion" looks incredible at night. At night, these towers or pylons are illuminated in the clubs colors. There even is an animation, if the home team scores. In december, its the largest advent wreath of Europe and when we have the Christopher Streets Day in our city, we even have rainbow lights. Thats spectacular and worth a mention!!!
Football is definitely coming to cologne. You did a very nice research for all the stadiums. I am german and I even learned a few things about the stadiums.
The Allianz Arena is the most worthy of the final IMO. At night all lit up, and the sheer depth of the seating surrounding the pitch. Very exciting venue.
It won't be, the Olympiastadion in Berlin will probably get the final. That was the deal between Berlin and Munich so that Munich can host some games during the Euro 2020. Also the Olympiastadion has new LED technology and now also can be lit up.
@@robsch21 it isn't the same at all. A stadium with lights shining on it versus a stadium that physically illuminates. Not to mention the Allianz doesn't have a running track isolating the pitch from the stands.
Olympiastadion in Berlin was built during the heydays of Germany!… I believe it was built for the 1936 Summer Olympics when the Fuhrer greeted the great Jesse Owens after he won the gold medal!
3:54 It's actually the 8th time the Stuttgart stadium was renamed. The certain historical person gave the name to the stadium from 1933-1945 as it was unfortunately completed in 1933. It was renamed many times afterwards.
Been to a match of Hertha BSC in the Olympiastadion two years ago as a Dutch tourist. What a beautiful stadium, but it's quite sad to see the stand were half empty.
Berlin has since two seasons two clubs in the first tier, Hertha and Union. Both teams has a big rivalry but due to a bad performance in the last seasons by Hertha as the most successful team from Berlin of all time and a great success in the last time by Union, there are going less spectators to the matches of Hertha and more to the matches of Union on the "Alten Försterei" which has 22.000 seats. Btw, from the next season with Viktoria Berlin plays as the third football club from Berlin in the third tier of the german football, so the professional football. Sorry for my bad English!
Would have liked to see Nürnberg and Kaiserslautern in 2024 but we have so many great Stadiums in Germany that you can't consider every Stadium with over 40.000 seats
I have been a subscriber for a while love the show but !!! Im Canadian , and hockey is important here and a stadium under the definition is( a venue for events ) so maybe you could do hockey stadiums considering the sometime they have a larger capacity that some others you preview, thanks love the show your friend in Canada
Are you going to do tennis venues? You did the Australian Open a while back. So what about Wimbledon, US Open, Roland Garros etc. ? Cheers for the good vids, keep them coming 👍
Would u ever consider doing arenas and like showing a panoramic picture of the interior? I know you have some dome stadiums youve covered and think you cold cover em like that and show some of the famous arenas around the world
If you think Düsseldorf has good public transport access, what's with the Olympiastadion in Berlin: It has its own 10-platform railway station in the South, a separate subway station on the eastern side and several tram-stations nearby.
Pretty much every stadium has it's own railway/ tram/ subway stations. The point being made with the public transport in Düsseldorf is not that the stadium has a tram station but rather that it's directly at the stadium (almost within the stadium) reducing the walking distance a lot.
@@Chouyren Well, on the map the Berlin station looked closer and - my point being - much bigger. And while other stadiums also all have subway stations. Berlin has all modes of transport.
@@tobiwan001 Bigger stations obviously are better because of higher capacity and more trains per hour and if we compare every major stadium in Germany I would agree and say Berlin has the best public transport. Still Düsseldorf at least has the advatage for people not having to walk half a kilometer to get from the station to the stadium. I wish we would have that here in Stuttgart. We have two S-Bahn Stations (500m and 1.5 km away) and one Subway station (300m away).
First of all, of course Berlin has better public transport than Düsseldorf, it also has about 6 times as many inhabitants. But the proximity of the tram station to the stadium in Düsseldorf is something you do not have at any other major German stadium. You leave the trains and are virtually at the gates of the stadium, unlike in Berlin where you still have to walk 500 meters from the U-Bahn and 200 Meters from the S-Bahn. Sure, the S-Bahn is still very close, but not as close.
RheinEnergie Stadion is homeground and it’s a beauty! The Pylones can be light up in any colour you want and on the inside you’ll be able to tell that this Stadium loves their home club (even though the club doesn’t own it) Many seats are engraved with the names of fans. I recommend visiting this one when FC Köln are playing cause the atmosphere is truly unique
Nice video, narration and some background info add so much to this kind of video. Also, your pronounciation of München is terrible, but I love hearing you try. Keep at it!
Greetings from Malaysia fans, and also Germany fan favourite to support, I'm looking forward to watch this 17th edition UEFA Euro 2024 Germany after 22nd edition FIFA World Cup Qatar and 18th edition 2023 AFC Asian Cup Qatar. That stadium look very stunning, fascinating, amazing to watch. I want to go there, and after this 2024 Summer Olympic Games Paris, France it just right around corner to watch this big celebration ever.
I agree with Wicky Lee . He's 100 % right . Awesome videos by the way !I did the research , great Fiesta real Fans Great Atmosphere Great Stadiums with Tracks !
The Team, playing in Veltins-Arena plays in League 2, now. They got last in 2020 season. Merkur-Spielarena, inplayed bei Fortuna Düsseldorf, also in League 2. Since around 4 years
And what exactly is that supposed to tell us now? Have the stadiums now also been relegated to the 2nd league or what? Such a stupid comment, it basically doesn't matter at all for the Euro which team in which league plays in the stadium. Besides, it can still change in the next 3 years that Schalke and Hamburg are promoted again, these clubs simply belong to the Bundesliga.
Thanks for making this vid, even though some of your thoughts were rather funny. @ 06:32 "Paint them red and you have the Golden Gate Bridge", by that logic if I cut some bristles of my broom and glue them on each side of my face, I've become a Leopard. @ 03:45 "It looks quite nice on the inside" That roof area looks an absolute mess, like the builders forgot to dismantle the scaffolding after the construction.
@@grussgott0768 3 World championships and 3 European championships in that time. So less tournaments then titles. You can add also 3 2nd place in WM and Euro. Sums up to 12 Finals for Germany in 50 years. 3 times as many finals then titles.
It's sadly just too old. I'd love to have it in there as well but it was built in 1972 (!). I love the stadium and I'm from Munich and I much prefer it over the Allianz Arena. Btw. for only 3,50€ you can visit the Olympiastadion and go around in it for as long as you want😉
The Olympic Stadium in Munich would need a major upgrade that would surely cost €200 million. The stadium is kept in good technical condition and is used for concerts. It's a pity Munich didn't get the 2018 Winter Olympics, then the Olympiastdion would have been upgraded.
Köln number is for national league games, were standing is allowed. With just seating it only allows about 46k. Northeastern stand of Frankfurt's Waldstadion (that's the real name, home to Europa League Winner Eintracht Frankfurt, especially in 2019 definitely one of the loudest stadiums in Europe and much more impressive than any other fan scene of the Euro host cities' clubs) is currently being extended for a total size of 51000. For Eintracht games (were standing is allowed) it will then be even 60000.
So what? The stadium hasn't been relegated too, has it? Btw, Düsseldorf too. Schalke will still have over 60,000 fans every game, others can only dream of that. (Of course, unfortunately, only when Corona is over again). Of the 42,000 season tickets, only 800 were cancelled, but these were very quickly passed on via a waiting list.
Don't forget that the Mercedes Benz Arena is getting renovated right now. The mainstand is beeing rebuild as well as the Cannstatter Kurve will be next year. It will have some cool features after this and some more seats.

@@seltonk5136 na you are wrong hamburg is older then the hamburger
I really hope, but am not quite sure if this was a joke, but the city of Hamburg and its name are older than the U.S. as a whole

The Volkspark Stadium is really pretty!
5:47 This stadium also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2011!
As a kid I had this wall chart for the 2006 World Cup with all of Germany's stadiums on it and I was absolutely amazed by the designs!
I'm from Nuremberg and I'm so sad we didn't get chosen as a venue unlike in 2006. I still have the stickers of our stadiums from that World Cup on my wall. The Nuremberg octagon looked great back then and still is one of my favourites here in Germany. Totally agree on our designs being cool
I still have that in my room😂
There's at least one more European stadium with both a retractable roof and a retractable pitch, that being one of the host stadiums of Euro-2020, Krestovsky stadium of St. Petersburg.
Of course! How did I miss that.
The Bundesliga has the best stadiums of the big 5 leagues
Absolutely false.
@@liam4603 which league has better stadiums then?
@@vincentohlander EFL League 2.
@@liam4603 🤡
Premier has the best stadiums, the it would be Bundes
1:00 on this track usain bolt ran the 100m and 200m record
German stadiums are damn good
Germany has the facilities to host a WC in a one-month notice.. Only a few countries have that level of football infrastructure (e.g. england)
Your delivery is right on, man. Easy to listen to.
It's somewhat funny that 3 of those stadiums are currently only 2nd tier stadiums: Gelsenkirchen (Schalke 04), Hamburg (HSV) and Düsseldorf (Fortuna).
Also: Köln almost became a 2nd tier stadium last season and Stuttgart was just promoted back up to the Bundesliga last season.
I'm curious to see if there will be a record number of lower league stadiums at the next Euro
I like watching live football. Been to five in the video (when I took frequent business travels to Germany from 2015 to 2018 before the COVID-19) - Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne and Frankfurt. And my favorite of all Bundesliga stadiums - Borussia Park! Then second - Olympicstaion (it's epic) and third - Mercedes-Benz Arena (it's simply fancy)!
I'm so excited. I can't wait to travel to all the stadiums! Hopefully without corona:)
You are right without corona
I realy apreciate the old remnants of the Leipzig Zentralstadion. It once had place for around 120k visitors. But this was only official numbers, in reality there could be up to 170k visitors to one Single game a fact that is just amazing imagining so many visitors to a football game
imagine _Maracana_ some decades ago with ~200k :)
Thank you 🙏loved watching this,will be something to keep us happy in these timed.
Lockdown Melbourne Victoria

Another great video thank you!
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one obsessed with stadiums
I really like Signal Iduna Park, the view in the ranks is so unique. You really have to look down to the pitch, cause the ranks are very precipitous. My hometown stadium, Deutsche Bank Park or Waldstadion (the old name untill 2006´s World Cup) is ranked as the best stadium in Bundesliga, because of the view. You dont need to turn your head to watch the game, even if you sit in the corner sites. Also the Forest around the Stadium is kinda rare in germany. The stands of the stadium, the Nordwestkurve, gets a little renovation in the next years before the Euro2024. The upper part of it gets flattent and the chairs gonna be removed, so we get a amount of 8.500 more people in there. For a Bundesliga match there will be 60.000 instead of 51.500 for the 2023/24 season.
There so many cool stadiums in Germany! I do love to see all the creativity!
@TheWideWorldofStadiums
6:55 I'd like to add, that the "Müngersdorfer Stadion" looks incredible at night. At night, these towers or pylons are illuminated in the clubs colors. There even is an animation, if the home team scores. In december, its the largest advent wreath of Europe and when we have the Christopher Streets Day in our city, we even have rainbow lights. Thats spectacular and worth a mention!!!
Football is definitely coming to cologne. You did a very nice research for all the stadiums. I am german and I even learned a few things about the stadiums.
Cool Video Bro,
My favourite Team Fortuna Düsseldorf is is
Using!
Thanks for Information Bro
I realy appreciate that your trying to pronunc Munchen the right way
The Allianz Arena is the most worthy of the final IMO. At night all lit up, and the sheer depth of the seating surrounding the pitch. Very exciting venue.
It won't be, the Olympiastadion in Berlin will probably get the final. That was the deal between Berlin and Munich so that Munich can host some games during the Euro 2020. Also the Olympiastadion has new LED technology and now also can be lit up.
No, Olympiastadion is better
The final of any big sporting event are best held in the biggest stadium available to accommodate the large audience.
@@robsch21 it isn't the same at all. A stadium with lights shining on it versus a stadium that physically illuminates. Not to mention the Allianz doesn't have a running track isolating the pitch from the stands.
The final will probably be at the olimpiastadion in Berlin, while the Allianz Arena will host the opening game, as it was in 2006
Love your videos!
Olympiastadion in Berlin was built during the heydays of Germany!… I believe it was built for the 1936 Summer Olympics when the Fuhrer greeted the great Jesse Owens after he won the gold medal!
Hi, nice video! could you do other European and south American football fields please!
3:54 It's actually the 8th time the Stuttgart stadium was renamed. The certain historical person gave the name to the stadium from 1933-1945 as it was unfortunately completed in 1933. It was renamed many times afterwards.
I love your humor mate!
Here we are in 2024 watching!
Been to a match of Hertha BSC in the Olympiastadion two years ago as a Dutch tourist. What a beautiful stadium, but it's quite sad to see the stand were half empty.
Seems too big for Herta on times. The average is like the Bundesliga overall (40k), but the stadium fits 70k plus
It's also not a good experience sold out.
Been to Germany games against Brazil and England and you're way to distant to the pitch
Berlin has since two seasons two clubs in the first tier, Hertha and Union.
Both teams has a big rivalry but due to a bad performance in the last seasons by Hertha as the most successful team from Berlin of all time and a great success in the last time by Union, there are going less spectators to the matches of Hertha and more to the matches of Union on the "Alten Försterei" which has 22.000 seats.
Btw, from the next season with Viktoria Berlin plays as the third football club from Berlin in the third tier of the german football, so the professional football.
Sorry for my bad English!
There was a Time where Hertha BSC Games were sold out..
Would have liked to see Nürnberg and Kaiserslautern in 2024 but we have so many great Stadiums in Germany that you can't consider every Stadium with over 40.000 seats
I know it's not technically stadiums, but you should do videos on sports arenas like hockey, basketball, etc.
There will be some basketball videos coming soon.
I have been a subscriber for a while love the show but !!! Im Canadian , and hockey is important here and a stadium under the definition is( a venue for events ) so maybe you could do hockey stadiums considering the sometime they have a larger capacity that some others you preview, thanks love the show your friend in Canada
Are you going to do tennis venues? You did the Australian Open a while back. So what about Wimbledon, US Open, Roland Garros etc. ?
Cheers for the good vids, keep them coming 👍
I'll eventually start covering a wider array of sports. Including tennis.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums what about league 2 England

It’s gonna be a great tournament from a fans perspective, I’m already looking forward to travelling with, or without tickets!
stadium with the moving field and roof also located in Sankt-Petersburg ( one of the hosts of the Euro 2020 )
Would u ever consider doing arenas and like showing a panoramic picture of the interior? I know you have some dome stadiums youve covered and think you cold cover em like that and show some of the famous arenas around the world
To add to the food references, Dusseldorf also makes me want some delicious mustard.
If you think Düsseldorf has good public transport access, what's with the Olympiastadion in Berlin: It has its own 10-platform railway station in the South, a separate subway station on the eastern side and several tram-stations nearby.
Pretty much every stadium has it's own railway/ tram/ subway stations. The point being made with the public transport in Düsseldorf is not that the stadium has a tram station but rather that it's directly at the stadium (almost within the stadium) reducing the walking distance a lot.
@@Chouyren Well, on the map the Berlin station looked closer and - my point being - much bigger. And while other stadiums also all have subway stations. Berlin has all modes of transport.
@@tobiwan001 Bigger stations obviously are better because of higher capacity and more trains per hour and if we compare every major stadium in Germany I would agree and say Berlin has the best public transport. Still Düsseldorf at least has the advatage for people not having to walk half a kilometer to get from the station to the stadium. I wish we would have that here in Stuttgart. We have two S-Bahn Stations (500m and 1.5 km away) and one Subway station (300m away).
First of all, of course Berlin has better public transport than Düsseldorf, it also has about 6 times as many inhabitants. But the proximity of the tram station to the stadium in Düsseldorf is something you do not have at any other major German stadium. You leave the trains and are virtually at the gates of the stadium, unlike in Berlin where you still have to walk 500 meters from the U-Bahn and 200 Meters from the S-Bahn. Sure, the S-Bahn is still very close, but not as close.
Yeah but the stadium is shit🤷🏻♂️
Wow, I didn't know that there was a stadium in Germany named Mustache in the past. Thanks for that interesting fact!
RheinEnergie Stadion is homeground and it’s a beauty! The Pylones can be light up in any colour you want and on the inside you’ll be able to tell that this Stadium loves their home club (even though the club doesn’t own it) Many seats are engraved with the names of fans. I recommend visiting this one when FC Köln are playing cause the atmosphere is truly unique
Wales National Stadium the Millennium, has a retractable roof. Had an FA Cup final played indoors there.
I would love to see south afrika stadiums from the WC 2010
Good Video.. Miss Zentralstadion..
Very nice stadiums
Nice video, narration and some background info add so much to this kind of video. Also, your pronounciation of München is terrible, but I love hearing you try. Keep at it!
Greetings from Malaysia fans, and also Germany fan favourite to support, I'm looking forward to watch this 17th edition UEFA Euro 2024 Germany after 22nd edition FIFA World Cup Qatar and 18th edition 2023 AFC Asian Cup Qatar. That stadium look very stunning, fascinating, amazing to watch. I want to go there, and after this 2024 Summer Olympic Games Paris, France it just right around corner to watch this big celebration ever.
Thank god we comming back to Euro in one country
I agree with Wicky Lee . He's 100 % right . Awesome videos by the way !I did the research , great Fiesta real Fans Great Atmosphere Great Stadiums with Tracks !
The Team, playing in Veltins-Arena plays in League 2, now. They got last in 2020 season. Merkur-Spielarena, inplayed bei Fortuna Düsseldorf, also in League 2. Since around 4 years
And what exactly is that supposed to tell us now? Have the stadiums now also been relegated to the 2nd league or what? Such a stupid comment, it basically doesn't matter at all for the Euro which team in which league plays in the stadium. Besides, it can still change in the next 3 years that Schalke and Hamburg are promoted again, these clubs simply belong to the Bundesliga.
Honestly the most beautiful stadium is the Volksparkstadion. That looks amazing!
Love the vid as always ❤️ can you tell me the track you use at the end?
Thanks! I'm 95% sure it's:
Searching for you - White Hex

Thanks for making this vid, even though some of your thoughts were rather funny.
@ 06:32 "Paint them red and you have the Golden Gate Bridge",
by that logic if I cut some bristles of my broom and glue them on each side of my face, I've become a Leopard.
@ 03:45 "It looks quite nice on the inside"
That roof area looks an absolute mess, like the builders forgot to dismantle the scaffolding after the construction.
Nice video!
Thanks!
The way you speak out "München" is so funny as a german speaking guy 😂
Germany: Euro 1988, 2024; World Cup 1974, 2006. Four major tournaments in 50 years.
They definitely deserved it. For it's size, biggest Football nation
@@grussgott0768 3 World championships and 3 European championships in that time. So less tournaments then titles. You can add also 3 2nd place in WM and Euro. Sums up to 12 Finals for Germany in 50 years. 3 times as many finals then titles.
Idea!
Look at collegiate baseball stadiums, and collegiate summer league fields as well?
Good set of stadiums tbh
"Once named after a historical leader that shan't be named. Mustache"
I see, your talking about Gottlieb Daimler
3:15 the stadium of my team, one of the biggest in France (LOSC in the city of Lille) also get a retractable roof.
It would be so cool if they use the olympiastadion in Múnich, its still there, could be cool to use a historic venue
It's sadly just too old. I'd love to have it in there as well but it was built in 1972 (!). I love the stadium and I'm from Munich and I much prefer it over the Allianz Arena.
Btw. for only 3,50€ you can visit the Olympiastadion and go around in it for as long as you want😉
The Olympic Stadium in Munich would need a major upgrade that would surely cost €200 million.
The stadium is kept in good technical condition and is used for concerts.
It's a pity Munich didn't get the 2018 Winter Olympics, then the Olympiastdion would have been upgraded.
after i watched this video, i commit to save my money for the tournament .. hopefully, i can be there soon .. greets from Jakarta ..
Greetings from Germany 🇮🇩❤🇩🇪
Köln number is for national league games, were standing is allowed. With just seating it only allows about 46k.
Northeastern stand of Frankfurt's Waldstadion (that's the real name, home to Europa League Winner Eintracht Frankfurt, especially in 2019 definitely one of the loudest stadiums in Europe and much more impressive than any other fan scene of the Euro host cities' clubs) is currently being extended for a total size of 51000. For Eintracht games (were standing is allowed) it will then be even 60000.
The Arizona Cardinals stadium is now called State Farm Stadium.
but its Euro 2024 stadiums... arizona is now part of europe XD
Well, Veltins arena in Gelsenkirchen also belongs to a second tier team now ;)
So what? The stadium hasn't been relegated too, has it? Btw, Düsseldorf too.
Schalke will still have over 60,000 fans every game, others can only dream of that. (Of course, unfortunately, only when Corona is over again). Of the 42,000 season tickets, only 800 were cancelled, but these were very quickly passed on via a waiting list.
It's coming hom.... oh no here we go again for Euro 2024
Don't forget that the Mercedes Benz Arena is getting renovated right now. The mainstand is beeing rebuild as well as the Cannstatter Kurve will be next year. It will have some cool features after this and some more seats.
German stadion mostly used in every year in nation league as well as Bundasleague that have been hosted every year with full capacity of Fan.
8:00 Soldier Field in Chicago is also literally built upon the old Soldier Field.
Not to downplay Düsseldorf but all the stadiums have pretty much excellent acces to public transport.
As well as Leipzig's ground, I think Soldier Field, Chicago can also justifiably lay claim to having a new stadium built on top of an older stadium.
3:20 - St. Petersburg too
they have better stadiums in their second league than some CL-Clubs
You forgot to mention that Düsseldorfs Merkur-Spiel-Arena and the Veltins Arena are also hosting second and third division games only!
The official name of the color of the Golden Gate Bridge is "International Orange," not a shade of red.
Are you planning doing NRL stadiums?
