Are you happy with your teams stadium? Do you like it, do you think it could be bigger or have more atmosphere, and so on?

I kinda like Eastlands, think it looks really nice from outside, could be a bit bigger if we extend the corners and make the 3rd tier full. Also hoping the owners buy it, and convert the land near it with facilities and so on..

I like the atmosphere and the history associated with WHL but we'll be moving into this baby in a few years:

That looks so good (spurs new one)

I like ours, but it could be updated. Wooden seats need replacing from two stands, and the same stands could be extended.

Atmosphere is good, most of the time.

Well, we've recently moved to a new 'bowl' stadium. Outside the cladding isn't the best but looks pretty good at night to be fair. Inside, the facilities are brilliant and I sit in the posher part of the stadium so we're treated to our own little concourse area and some warmth in winter. The seating area is superb, looks fantastic, great leg room (although i had more at ninian park as i was sat in row E which had an entrance bit to the directors box further up the stand so it was wider(h)). It's not as close to the pitch as NP but atmosphere wise it's brilliant. It might not be as intimidating or whatever but it's the fans that make the atmosphere. However, I can't help but feel that it's been made to a budget, there's somethings that could be tweaked and it could just be a settling down period and we can adjust things as we go along and get some more money but it's good to be fair. I prefer the old stadiums and what not but football's changing and we're going to have to live with it.

ours lacks a bit of uniqueness (derby) and at times can feel a bit atmosphereless but when everyone's awake and cheering you get a real buzz.

Dont you parade a ram before the game to get the crowd hyped up?

Carrow Road is too small, I'm fairly confident we could get 30,000+ attendances if it was expanded.

Atmosphere could be better if more of the stadium joined in with the chants.

only for big/tv games aha. all the loud people sit in two areas in the ground, sandwiching the away fans but thats just on one side so the rest of the stadium can be really quiet.

Put it like this, if/when we go to a new one, I will cry. Then the day Anfield is knocked down, I will commit suicide or something.

the scouse (owner) said if we stay up they're going to fill the corners and put a third tier on the steve bull stand, to make it around about a 40,000-45,000 seater

Would you fill it ?

yeah easily, prices would probably come down slightly because there would be more seats to sell.

Well your average is 28k. I don't think you could bump that up to 40. Maybe 35.

No I hate it.

It's a flat packed IKEA stadium. Still, better than what we had aha.

Ahh right i rememebr that happening when we played there.

Orients is cramped by ******* flats, the west stand is nice - the posh bit where I am is anyway. But hearn has ruined our chance of building the stadium. Sevilla's is nice, big - not the most attractive thing in the world but still nice - at least it ain't ******* flats all round.

What the hotspur fan has to remember, a few years will actually be more like 10 lol.

IS it even started yet?

Birmingham City need a smaller stadium

Becca

It's old, but not too bad.
As long as the stadium doesn't collapse in a football game, it's all good.

Just need final parts of planning permission to be accepted. Due for completion 2012 apparently.

Looks like the Emirates.

It actually will in a way, cos we'll move into a partially built stadium for 2012/13 season then it'll be completed the next year.

@ above. every stadium with a bowl shape looks like the Emirates. The thing about this one is that there is a large single stand which will hopefully create a good atmosphere.
