Throw up a current pic there. Last I saw it had grass growing where the pool used to be
- Tynecastle Park, Edinburgh. Reminiscent of Gloucester Diamond.
Buildings looking over stadiums, especially old buildings = atmosphere.

It probably looks like a sewer now.
The Greek olympics was one of the great white elephants. They put no thought into what to do with the facilities after

I always felt the Vicente Calderon was a bit of a missed opportunity in terms of creating a genuinely iconic stadium.
The bits in the corners between the uncovered bowl and the covered stand were missing and needed to be filled in. The roof was on the wrong side. I hate roofs which block out sunlight. Having the roof on that side also took away from the aerial view and reduced the Manzanares river as a feature complementing the stadium.
What they needed was a continuation of the two tier bowl effect around to the river side, and maybe a steep third tier on the other three sides.
As it is, I think I actually prefer their new stadium.
Not at all! Too corporate looking!
What’s Vienna like to visit?
It’s lovely. Runs well, great Uban, iconic buildings, traffic not bad.

Vienna is a great city for a tourist to visit. Great public transport system on top of everything else. Fabulous in the lead up to Christmas

Excellent. The San Siro is football
It still resembles a spaceship that a far superior life form built and brought to earth to show us what we could do. Glad it’s being kept.

Not a stadium, but fucking hell
