I'll vote Spa. Wasn't it Jordan's first race win? Seem to recall a great race in lashings of rain.

Yep, 1-2 for Hill and Frentzen in awful weather. Also had a massive crash at the start.

Madison Square Garden because of the iconic wrestling moments that have often taking place here

If I had known roads counted I'd have nominated Spaghetti Junction.


MSG - far more iconic moments across a number of sports.

MSG

Madison Square Gardens

Been there a few times, preferred the concert I saw more than the sports!!

Arrah, here. Wrestling a sport?!? Are there any Tiddlywinks venues in?

Spa for me.
Lived in Germany in the early 90s and was driving back from a long weekend when the road narrowed from a 2 lane M-way to effectively a country road. Went round the next bend and noticed the red & white kerbing and then the stands.
Just awesome.
On non race days local roads would (or did then) crossed or were part of the track.

It literally says New York Knicks and New York Giants on the post! Basketball and Ice Hockey is what has it here.

That's right - and I remember someone really bad (Diniz maybe?) park in at the side while all the debris flew, and then at the end just pulled out and continued on his merry little way. I think he was already so far behind at that stage that he missed being involved in the crash.

To be fair, the Knicks and Giants barely count as sports teams

Spa for me, but only just. It's nowhere near the best track, but MSG is just a soulless box with a good name

SineadSpears

I never gave a reason before, but I have a thing for Romain Grosjean lately thats why I chose the road thing if that helps lol

Omackeral

MSG falls at the first hurdle, maybe I overrated it because of it's location. Spa-Francorchamps advances.

A very tasty one next that could be head vs heart...

Croker

Cos hurling >>>> American football

Damn, that's a good picture of Lambeau Field!

Have to vote Croker though... right?
The fact it's such a massive stadium for an amateur sport played nowhere else is just incredible

Zaph

Lambeau Field. Very nearly nominated it myself, an iconic, old-style stadium in an unfashionable part of the country.

Croke Park.

I'm sure I won't need a reason but..... American football is poop and Croke Park is history and stuff.

Lambeau Field

Necro

Croke Park - my nomination.

Also I think there are better NFL fields personally

paulie21

Lambeau. What an iconic stadium, passionate fanbase and smallest City in America to have a professional sports team.

Sawduck

Croker for the history and the amazing atmosphere it produces

My head, heart, knees and toes say Croke Park.

Croke Park.
For the history/symbolism etc.
