[gonzalorafael23]

It´s very difficult the choose any of these great stadiums, but I prefer Santiago Bernabeu and Azteca, because all architecture you can getting better when you want, but it represents something that noone can´t reach so simple...

Pd. Sorry if my english is not very good...

[Benfi]

Maracana and Azteca.

Unbelivable!!

[RhoneRedBee]

La Bombonera, Boca Juniors - unique atmosfere by fantastic supporters.

[Hidegkuti]

I prefer Wembley.

[Oscarito87]

In the Netherlands the Kuip(Feyenoord) is the best stadium but in the world I think I'll go for La Bombonera. Hope to see it once before I grow old and die. :biggrin:

[WaTTiK]

Azteca and Old Trafford.

[oski14es]

maybe anfield road, it has a great meaning for everybody who loves football.

[karatepig]

If you like punk music, Millerntor Stadium in Hamburg is the best place in the world, a couple of hours before and after the game is an unique experience, the atmosphere during the match ist awesome too, of course.....

[Masry]

Where is Emirates Stadium? :mad:

[Masry]

Well, and from that list I would choose Santiago Bernabeu

[forfunny]

Where is Emirates Stadium? :mad:
List updated with Emirates Stadium. Sorry for delay
:coool:

[Quaresma_7]

Camp Nou - beautiful tradition, the largest stadium in Europe
Wembley - stunning, impressive architecture
Emirates Stadium - the very best pitch in Europe

[joanlui74]

From the list I choose Old Trafford
My favourite is Marassi in Genoa, however.

[forfunny]

Important update!
Now you can see stadiums also from satellite, by Google Satellite Maps!
:coool:

[gonzalorafael23]

The stadiums of this Euro are very small, but despite it I think they are very goods stadiums but so far from the best stadiums in the world..

[episkeptis]

Nou Camp

[Boez]

Azteca Estadium! and Nou Camp:wink:

[PcJ.imbert]

nobody said S.Siro...

[Nabukadnezar]

i think the biggest is camp nou; it's sad for me to say this since i'm a real madrid supporter
but the best is santiago bernabeu because of the quality of seats and the matches played there

[aaa327]

La Bombonera, Boca Juniors - unique atmosfere by fantastic supporters.

Just as you said, Boca Juniors' stadium is great

[goldelcrackroni]

This is how it should look like after reconstruction. However, since the reconstruction was planed as a part of EURo 2012 bid, it is unknown if it will happen.
