Top Ten Soccer Stadiums In The World

Well, if you have a top tens blog you have to make a list of the top ten stadiums. Without that, the blog is not complete. That's why I will list the top ten stadiums in the world today. It's not only the beauty of the stadium, it's also the fans that make a stadium nice. Here are the nicest stadiums in the world:

Example:
??.  Name (Tenant, opened in, Capacity, City, Country)    




Stade Louis II10.  Stade Louis II (AS Monaco, 11th May 1985, 18'523, Fontvielle, Monaco)

Stade Louis II is a small stadium, it doesn't seem very special, if you look at the information and the fans aren't special either, but it is one of the most unique stadiums in the world. You will never find a stadium like it. The nine arches are a great addition and they make the stadium much more amazing. 




                                                             

                                                                                                                                                                           


9.  Emirates Stadium (Arsenal FC, 22nd July 2006, 60'036, London, England)

Emirates Stadium 12
The Emirates is one of the grand stadiums in England. It is one of those big, beautiful and modern stadiums. Everyone who enters it, thinks it's a great stadium. I myself can agree with that. In that stadium you can also find dedicated fans. They sing nice songs and always find fantastic ways of showing their love for Arsenal. The reason it's 9th is because unlike Stade Louis II, it is not unique. It has nothing very special. You can find a lot of similar stadiums in the world.



                                                                                                                                                                                


8. De Kuip (Feyenoord, 23rd July 1937, 51'577, Rotterdam, Netherlands)

This stadium is the nicest one in the Netherlands. It is also a beautiful, big stadium and has a great atmosphere. The fans sing and dance the whole game and their not only  in a "fan zone", they are sitting in the whole stadium. It is unique for the "cool roof" and the fans. To me they are one of the best supporters in the world. That is why it is above the Emirates Stadium. I could go on forever, but I'll just say it's amazing.


                                                                                                                                                                            


7. Allianz Arena (Bayern München, 1860 München, 30th May 2005, 69'901, München, Germany)

The arena is remarkable. The way it's built is great and the form from the outside makes it pretty unique. Plus, it's a new, giant stadium which was built the right way. The fans are also amazingly dedicated. When you look into the "fan zone", it looks like a sea of people.  


                                                                                                                                                                              


6. Signal Iduna Park (Borussia Dortmund, 2nd April 1974, 80'720, Dortmund, Germany)

This "park" is absolutely amazing. It is so big and beautiful and the colors yellow and black make the stadium more colorful. Even though the stadium already is nice, the fans brought it to 6th. Remember when I said de Kuip had one of the best, that's because the S-I-P has the best. People call the fan zone a wall because the people just squash themselves into there. They are the most dedicated supporters in the world.

















                                                                                                                                                                                 


MilanoSanSiro02.JPG5. San Siro (AC Milan, Inter Milan, 19th September 1926, 80'018, Milan, Italy)

San Siro is a great stadium. From outside it looks a bit like a beautiful spaceship, but inside it is a beauty. When you walk in, you're amazed by the fans, the actual stadium and the great soccer played there. Inter vs AC is the best derby in the world and the atmosphere in San Siro is not to be put in words.





                                                                                                                                                                                        


4. Old Trafford (Manchester United, 19th February 1910, 75'811, Manchester, England)



Old Trafford is a unique stadium, not because of one thing, but because of the architecture of the whole thing, like the dugout is special and different. The atmosphere is also very cheerful and happy, the whole stadium  sings and enjoys great soccer. It has a nice pitch and is pretty modern.

The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium - U-g-g-B-o-y.jpg3. Santiago Bernabeu (Real Madrid, 14th December 1947, 85'454, Madrid, Spain)

The stadium is massive, it's like an oversized palace. It blows you away and you can't even say why. There's too much to see: The great, massive stadium, the amazing soccer being played and the fans watching the game. They live the game and react to every action in the game, it gives the game a nice addition.

This Stadium is outstanding and it's like a bowl of soccer. It goes so far up and the beauty goes that far. Walking into it, is like entering the home of the soccer gods. You see the amazing soccer, the colorful stadium and again the fans, like in Bernabeu. They are almost twins. The only difference, Camp Nou has more Beauty and has nicer Architecture.  


                                                                                                                                                                                


1. Maracana (Special Competitions, 16th June 1950, 199'854, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

That stadium is the king of all the stadiums in the world. It has everything, it's big, colorful, has great games, fans and competitions. It can not be beaten on any level. It is modern too and is being renovated currently for the World Cup 2014.












I hope you see it the same way and enjoyed the top ten chart.
