I luv standing-sections on the long-side. We must preserve and multiply those stadiums.
Sweden 1 year ago had 2 of those stadiums in the top 2 leagues. But OP-pic is being renovated (un-called for imo) and getting longside seating. However the 2nd stadium (pic rel) is a newly built/expanded stadium, a newly built longside that is 75% stands to add to the shortsides that are also stands.
The Oakwood, home of VCD Athletic F.C. in the 8th tier Isthmian League South East Division.At least it was. The ground has new owners and the club couldn't agree a new lease with them. As such after 110 years they are folding and the ground owners will no doubt turn it into flats.
Union Berlin, Modern over 20k capacity stadium with 3 of 4 sides being stands
cambridge united's ground has a lengthwise terrace under the hard cam. the away fan allocation is on the left-hand side of that long terrace from pov of this photo.also one of the ends is several miles away from the pitch for some reason. sometimes extra away allocations are put there.
Modern stadium with longside standing in Mechelen
>>154313230close up on the actual newly built longside-stand>>154313265nice
I dont like the club but looks like a really nice stadium, modern 3-side standing
My favourite is this Monaco monstrosity which is ruined only by the presence of the olympic track and is in all other respects post-modern sporting kino of the highest degree
i talked about Swedens top 2 leagues but i kinda wanna mention Falkenberg, 65-70% of one longside is stands but they only have 2 built stands (on the longsides) so that longside function as shortside stand and longside at the same time, if they were to go up a league they would prob setup a temporary shortside stand for away fans making the stadium 3-sided.
>>154313464but its a modern newly built longside stand thats majority standing which is good.
>>154313200Why were standing sections blamed for the 96
Oh how could i forget, Current Swedish champion and country-side club Mjällby have an all-standing section on the longside and an away standing section one one shortside. though the other shortside is a relatively bigger newly built all seater.
>>154313489Cos you can't blame scousers
>>154313524unfortunately they will not play here from what it seems if they reach groupstage in an UEFA-comp. I dont think it would have been impossible to get it up to minimum UEFA-standard, tare the all-seater longside stand and build a slightly bigger one and/or get build more seats in the corners of the away end.
this ones really cool
>>154313598There it is!! 15th Post>>154313489I have heard different takesOne take is that it English and Liverpool fans are too untermench too handle somewhat civilized stadium behavior. One take is that it was just a scapegoat to bypass the focus on general mismanagement/incompetence hen it comes to stadiums and fans.Another take is that it was a convenient reason to sanitize/overhaul the entire top level level english football, prize out who goes to the games, change the image, the stadium experience etc.. to make it into a modern product. but they threw out the baby with the bathwater with this one and made it un-soul.Anyway what does stands really have to do with it, stands or seats are just physical objects.
>>154313633They could have just switched to bleachers like our huge college stadiums
Stadiums in Argentina can have standing on the longside, based
2nd biggest football-stadium in Malmö, 1 shortside stand is standing, half of the longside is standing while the other half is seating, 1 shortside is bleachers, the main stand not seen in the picture is 75% seating (the bottom 3 rows are bleachers). So this is the 4th (could be 5 but op pic got demolished for seating ofcourse very recently) stadium in Sweden i could think of where 50% (or more) of a built and permanent longside stand is for standing. 2 of them are newly built, 2 of them are not that old or unmodern but still not new.
If you go down in the lower leagues in Germany and England there are quite a few clubs with many sides of standing (based) but those stadiums are old(just saying, im not complaining, im mosly fine with a sunken bowl in a forested area although its nice with some modernity like ex. a roof, if theres tracks around it thats not nice)and usually when stadium like that are renovated or have new stadiums built elsewhere the standing% is not kept the same.
>>154313313SOVL…and kinorino
stadium of FC United of Manchester
>>154314125so i think thats the 5th or 6th example i can think of right now thats a modern newly built stadium or section with longside-standing.
The eternal question, could it be built ?
>>154314763>>154313598Read the thread, fuckwit.Always liked Claggan Park, home of Fort William FC. Once known as the worst club in British football.
>yrn Cuito Cuanavale
I think I unironically remember playing PES and on that wierd pitch of Cuito Cuanavale. You got anything else to say about Cuito Cuanavale
>>154314340It could and it should, the only question is where. My vote is Luxembourg>>154314822Anon n-
>>154314794>>154314822STOP
>>154314788Absolutely gorgeous
I wouldn't play on a stadium without castle
>>154315005
>>154315039it is stadiums general talk, not stadiums standing-section talk
>>154315039>>154315051Im OP, yes fundamentally its just a Stadium general talk so czech bro is right
>>154313385PES4 classic
few N's comingNorth Hobart Oval (capacity around 12.000)
North Sydney Oval (capacity 9000ish)Field is undersized for football and cricket and too large for rugby league.
Norwood Oval in Adelaide (capacity just under 10.000)The skinniest ground used in the AFL and not properly flat either.
RIP
>>154315005Never mind the stadium, only the castle is needed
Claremont Oval in Perth (capacity 6000)Although the idea of building apartments around stadiums is nothing new, Claremont Football Club took it to the extreme, levelling all the hills and terraces around the ground and selling off land to developers right up to the fence
Wollongong Showground (capacity 24.000)Fairly conventional for 3/4 but the sideline is a grass hill which backs onto the Pacific Ocean
Tunavallen in Eskilstuna, was a top flight stadium here a few years back
>>154324745You could have a pitch surrounded on all sides by skyscrapers with covered balconies. Ideally in benidorm.
>>154316996Love cricket grounds when they have a collection of individual pavilions. Instant comfy vibes.
>>154324745Do they include the cost of match tickets in the price to sleep/live in those towers?
>>154317169North stand is crumbling a bit.
Stadium of GIF Sundsvall, i like this one because of all the weird geometries
>>154317307A quidditch stadium
>>154324959Yes I goddamn love when stadiums are wonky like this
>>154314822
>>154324959>>154331386Carlton's Princes Park had some of the weirdest grandstands you'll see at any stadium. Sadly the Hawthorn stand (behind the far end rugby goal with the roof that swoops up) was torn down. The stand on the left is still there though. This place hadn't hosted a major event for nearly 20 years until Melbourne City moved one of their asian champions league home games there a couple years ago for some reason. 500 stadiums in Melbourne and they landed on the one that is a football field with half rusty and falling down 120yo stands, half AFL club training facilityAlso this pic gives an idea of how big a football field is compared to a rugby/soccer field.
>>154324745cute, it's like if the Luigi Ferraris had a baby brother
>>154331386This place is built on a hill as well so from the outside it looks huge but you're actually looking up towards where the pitch level is.
