No.
Ibrox was indeed designed by Archibald Leitch.
Like Sid, Im a fan of ye olde style open bowl stadia that the american colleges have
Heres a good example, The Big House in Michigan. Built in 1927 with 106,000 capacity

I also like the look of the Azadi Stadium in Tehran

World Stadiums.com is great for this kind of thing.
Jackman Park, Limerick.
Be the best.
Arsenal may have had one but I definitely remember Chelsea having one as well. It was around the time they had the “twin towers” of Mark Stein and John Spencer up front.
There was one at Highbury alright with fans drawn on it. As far as I remember there was a bit of controversy as they had only put white folk on it. They had to draw in a few ethnic types after that.
When the East Stand was first built there was a carpark visible between that and the old Shed alright. Some pretty funky goalpost architecture in those days too.
Thought the scousers were drowned out by a fair few murderer chants Farmer. :lol:
Monaco is a shithole built on carpark, The Bridge is a real football ground.
I love the American stadia that serve a dual purpose as football and baseball venues.
Candlestick Park, San Francisco.

MCG is pretty savage
The Runt used to have a football manager game in the old days. It was circa 96 and cant remember anything about the manager part, but you used to be able to build your stadium in it with all sorts of different designs, heights, tiers etc. You could be in the third division with a savage 60,000 seater stadium. It was savage.
Savage indeed.
Candlestick park in San Fran is a bit of a dump. The baseball stadium in town is class.
GAA wise, Thurles is a great place for a game and Croke Park used to be but is very corporate now in my experience. One time as you walked the steps up into the stand you could feel the noise coming against you.
Soccer wise, Villa Park is a proper football stadium. Whoever put up those pics of Villa Park has put up pics from different sides of the ground. That red brick faced bit is around the back of the stadium still. Villa Park looks shit enough from the outside but is a brilliant place to watch a game. Have a huge gra for Fulham’s Craven Cottage. I love the timber seats in the Old Stand. its next to the river and you walk through a lovely park to get there.
Stamford Bridge is a fine stadium. Anfield a huge disappointment atmosphere wise. Couldn’t get over the amount of home fans that left early. Stadium is built in the middle of an awful slum too. Arsenal’s is an entertainment complex. It is a bizarre experience watching a football game there. Was in Wembley for a concert. Seemed alright. White Hart Lane is a dump, Reading’s is just your typical modern industrial estate type stadium. Was in Cardiff for a ken cup final that bored me to tears.
The MCG is fantastic
I used to love going to The Gabba, only 42K seater though.
FIFA Manager.
What a great game. You had to buy land around the stadium if you needed to develop it, knock houses etc.
Players would always be getting injured by either falling off a catwalk or having an allergic reaction to the preoxide used to bleach their hair.
Ye old Yankee stadium
Greatest stadium in the world, Morton Stadium the home of Sporting Fingal

I have a few pictures of what this looks like now. It’s crumbling to pieces.
