[Football] Quirky stadiums

[Perfidious Albion]

Sadly, I have learned that Forest Green Rovers plans for this all wooden Stadium have been rejected by the planning authorities.

Brentford's new ground due to space constraints is a little weird looking.

That looks like it's going to be the closest ground to a National Rail station (presuming that's what it is).

I'm pleased because they already have a lovely and adequate ground yet the hypocrites wanted to build another one on environmental grounds

Brentford's new ground certainly doesn't have any room to expand, it's strange how they got planning permission as there doesn't seem to be much room for evacuation in emergency

One cold ground.

Be interesting to see how they accommodate the Yankees vs Red Sox at the London Stadium at the end of the month.

Badly.

Good grief. The foul territory is H-U-G-E !! The catchers and 1st / 3rd basemen are going to absolutely munch up those foul balls.

Been there. Great ground, but crazy on a windy day !

I absolutely love Wrigley field, really old rickety stadium that looks amazing from the outside. And most of all, that stands that sit on the roofs of buildings that overlook the stadium. Absolutely brilliant.

I visited one of the Wrigley Rooftops last year to watch a game, awesome experience.

Ticked . The only ground in the world with a world heritage site at each end.

Umm, the mighty Belper Town's Christchurch Meadow also ticks that box

Rannagh Park - beach at both ends of the pitch and the single "stand" (shed) is named after my uncle

I went there for the FA Vase semi against Oxford City but didn't notice anything of particular interest!

I'm not sure where this stadium is but it staged this week's friendly or minor tournament match between Syria and North Korea. The designer seems to have forgotten the slopey bit in the stand behind the goal! In fact it looks like all the prime viewing space has been wasted...

A quick google search shows that it is The Arena by TransStadia in Ahmedabad. It is a convertible stadium.

Yep, the Arena Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is definitely quirky with a pitch side infinity pool! You can also watch the action from your hotel bed... or perhaps the idea is that those in attendance watch the action in the hotel bed...

Struggling to remember when it was, but fair to say it was a long time back. I think they only had 3 sides of the ground, at the time, as they were tearing down the stand to our right as we looked. Don't have a strong recollection of the day, but I distinctly remember seeing the ball sail over my head at into the hedge at the back of the terrace.

Definitely had a flower bed at one stage, could well have been a hedge too.

Derwent Valley Mills, the site runs from Matlock Bath to Derby - If you ever want to see some fascinating history around some of the catalysts of the industrial revolution, you know where to go. Oh, and as you know, you can catch a game at Christchurch Meadows as well
