[Football] Spurs New Ground

Love the design of 1 big tier behind the goal.

Croydon isn't in London it's an entirely different city all together, on it's own. If you listen to them...

Selhurst is south London

Hmmm, as I recall, they shit on endlessly about being "South London & proud".

Wasn't Croydon applying for city statues back in 2000?

My memory is bad but who was it who beat them to it?

Nowhere else comes close. The only American city with two NFL teams is New York; they share a stadium (in New Jersey). LA has quite a few college football grounds, but these don't tend to be as high-spec as our modern football stadia.

Tend to be very high capacity though.

I refer you to exhibit a from [MENTION=30847]Megazone[/MENTION] and was being ironic. They can't have it both ways!

 

[Marlton & Hove Albion]

New York (METRO) Stadiums - Some pretty good arenas here. As good as London.....I'd say probably yes....this doesn't include any of the many College/Univ stadiums in the Metro.

Madison Sq Garden (Rangers/Knicks)
Yankee Stadium (Yankees)
Citi Field (Mets)
Brooklyn (Nets)
Prudential (Devils)
MetLife (Jets/Giants)
RedBulls (NY RedBulls)

61,000 then.

Nothing to do with Arsenal's capacity being 60,432 I'm sure.

The official club line it's to do with the 61 double winning side. I'm not sure anyone believes that.

Biggest climbing wall in Europe is the biggest selling point....

I'll give you the two baseball stadiums, but if we are going to include smaller and indoor venues, then Bozza has barely scratched the surface with his list. He hasn't mentioned Lords, The Valley, The Oval, QPR and Brentford's proposed stadiums, the O2, Wembley Arena and so on.

And you're including the entire tri-state area in your list. People in New York consider New Jersey to be another planet. They won't travel to New Jersey to watch sport unless that sport is the NFL, so it's a bit disingenuous to include them in a list of New York stadiums.

On the flip side, how many other world cities will have a top flight stadium as embarassingly shithouse as Selhurst Park?

You can't mean that wonderful atmospheric stadium, where a few hundred black hooded fans bounce up an down like Zulu's to a drum, who are allowed to stand all game in an all seater stadium?
