Title: Worlds weirdest stadiums
Post by: Boycey on February 25, 2011, 12:24:30 PM
Saw this posted elsewhere, some absolute crackers. Think someone said on here that Liverpool would be playing Braga next in Europa League, cool stadium.

The press/tv box in McHale park is weird.

That press box is a scandal for a new development. Healy Park sets the standard.

surely the aviva stadium in d4 has to be included. the north end is a joke, but not a funny one cosidering the level of our money spent on it

Hill 16 makes Croke Park look ugly and unfinished IMHO.

I like the fact Croke Park isn't exactly the same all the way around. It gives it a wee bit of character compared to some

Is that some sort of temporary structure?

Was looking that way for a long time, now it is to be retained as in they got retention from the planning authorities. Like the rest of the recent developments of McHale park it is all slightly underwhelming.
