The only one on that list that I have been to is the GABBA. It is a fantastic ground, with an aura around it. You get a great atmosphere when you go to a cricket game, especially when you are in the middle of your supporters.

I would also like to visit the MCG one day. Despite the pitch not being great, I would love to sit in the stands and enjoy myself. Although this probably won't happen for at least 6 years, but it's something I want to do some day.

 

[_Ed_]

321 Eden Park (45,472)

I've been everywhere.

It'll move up the list a bit in the next couple of years at least.

How can so many American universities have 100,000+ seat stadiums?? How is that even viable, when professional sporting teams can't maintain that a stadium that big and pull crowds that huge?

I know they take college football really seriously but FFS, how do they get all the money? How do they get such big crowds?

[Magrat Garlick]

354 - Ullevi - Göteborg

my only one, I'm afraid. Curious as to how NUFAN got there.

As for Rob's question: they earn $30 million a year and don't pay salaries. Saving is easy.

 

[NUFAN]

354 - Ullevi - Göteborg

I was travelling around Sweden during the winter but missed seeing Gothenburg.

I went back during summer and stayed with a mate down near Malmo and we went to Gothenburg for about 3 or 4 days as he was an IFK fan.

The game was against Elfburg or something like that, the crowd was terrible though that day so I was suprised to see the stadium in the list.

Also btw I listed Old Trafford, but I just went on a tour there, not seen a match, think that counts though.
