    Páirc Uí Chaoimh, just for that one Siamsa Cois Laoi, way back whenever! :D

    Ugh, I think this is going to be a slaughter but going for

    Páirc Uí Chaoimh - I really like it since it was reopened in 2017


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,346 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Maracanã Stadium. It's crumbling pretty badly now I believe, but it still holds the record for the biggest ever attendance at a football match, just a handful under 200,000. The atmosphere must have been unreal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Maracanã Stadium impressive and iconic stadium


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    The Maracana for all the history. Nothing unique about Parc Ui Caoimh that I can see, except its site in the capital

    Maracanã Stadium

    Prefer the circle shape

    Maracanã Stadium

    For the history, the crazy old capacity, the fact my mate's a Brazilian Flamengo fan and will hurt me if he find I voted against it

    Plus it will hold its own against any football stadium in future rounds, whereas Páirc Uí Chaoimh will get destroyed if it encounters Croker


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,409 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Maracana is pretty iconic but I saw my first gig in Pairc Ui Chaoimh so that gets my vote.

    Especially when Brazil lost!

    I'd say it was a death trap of a stadium at that time, but feck it - 200k is a serious crowd, even if it only holds half that now. Maracana for me

    Yeah, I'd say being a Uruguayan in that crowd would make being an away fan in the home end at an Old Firm match feel like a picnic.

    Maracana the other one looks a bit meh

    Has to be the San Siro, imagine being on the pitch looking up at that?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,995 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    San Siro. Mainly because the Etihad is a soulless pit that struggles to sell out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88,458 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,792 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    San Siro

    Since '90, and Football Italia it's been right at the top of the list of stadia I want to visit. Now it's being demolished, I'm gutted. Such great architecture

    I've been to the City of a Manchester stadium, it's as plastic and soulless as most of their fans


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Genesis Fancy Tenseness


    It's in a state of great disrepair, and I almost got pick-pocketed outside it but it has to be the San Siro.


    There's more atmosphere on the moon than there is at the Etihad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭tc20


    San Siro by a country mile.
    A cathedral of football, shared by two massive clubs, (I don't think this is replicated by two other famous teams but open to correction)
    Happened to see Inter play there a while back, impressive and identifiable stadium.
    City's ground, while I'm sure is very modern with all facilities, like City, is just built with oil money


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    San Siro up there with the best stadiums unlike the other nomination


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    San Siro because it does look cool. & the 'etihad' stadium...in Manchester. sounds ridiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,270 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009

    San Siro Is more iconic

    Actually The Etihad was built by Manchester council to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and was offered to City afterwards, in the same way West Ham now play at the Olympic Stadium.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,995 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    The Etihad is a lovely looking stadium imo, it's probably nicer than the San Siro tbh.

    But there's no atmosphere there imo, don't they give away half their ticket allocation for some games?

    I stand corrected, (i'm not anti - City BTW)
    Every day is a school day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Needless to say, San Siro advances and I’m shocked Etihad even got one vote!

    Which is why Man Utd fans sing about City living in a council house.
