Best away stadium you've been to?

Hyperbullet

For those of you that have travelled to ML and HEC games over the years, what has been the best stadium you have been to outside of your own provincial home ground? Base your opinion on the stadium itself, the atmosphere, the general craic around the town/city on match day, the important stuff

Probably Toulouse, been to both stadia and both are excellent. At the Ernest Wallon they have such a fantastic and professional setup.

TP is pretty good but totally ruined by having to queue for 20 minutes to get a pint and then 20 more minutes to get through the turnstyle.

For me, the Cardiff Arms Park - great atmosphere, fantastic location (city centre), you can bring drink into the stadium.

The only negative is holding your tongue while some inbred no-necked Valley heads are dissing Irish players :P

Gotta say the stoop. Fantastic athmosphere,cheap ale bar behind the stand, great fans and a huge hall under one of the stands for after match boozing.

Parc des Princes in Paris
Great great rugby atmosphere

Millenium is class, as is Murrayfield, both great on match day, Twickenham is ok, but a bit of a pain in the ass going to it and coming back into town, Lansdowne is of course brilliant for where it is and cant wait for it to re-open...never been to a game in France

Of provincial / club rugby, Stoop was good, but again, Twickenham factor of getting out there etc., The Rec is the best GP ground imo and Bath is a great city, (although haven;t been to Leicester and they've expanded it now too), from Munster friends, didn't hear great reports on Madkeski, Thomond Park is a great stadium, reminds me of the old Landsdowne a bit in its lay out and atmosphere (obviously smaller but more modern version too), Liberty is a great stadium, and HOPING to get to see Parc Y Scarlets this season, although doubt I'll be on this side of the world by then, would also like to see Cardiffs new ground, and would like a night out in Glasgow and also haven't been to Ravenhill!! :eek: have to sort that out since it's a quick and easy trip!! Mean to go every year and don't for one reason or another in the end.

The old Donnybrook. On the touchline. Very close to players and all the action. My pick.
