2 Brief Looks at Huge Stadiums

This feature is a two day thing. Today we will take a very brief look at two of the biggest stadiums  and then tomorrow we can get a closer look at a select few that either I pick out or a reader can comment and vote. There are many different stadiums out there. Some used for all events. I tried to find the stadiums that just hosted club football or just club and National team, but that was really hard! So some of the stadiums we look at today are not just soccer, but that is their main focus.

The biggest stadium by far to host soccer games on a regular basis is Rungrado May Day Stadium(Pyongyang, North Korea). It holds up to 150,000 thousand people and is home of the Korea National team.  It is set in an imvironment which is very isolated and dangerous, so there will probably never be a huge tournament hosted there.

The second largest stadium is in India, Salt Lake City Stadium. This is in the city of Kolkata. The stadium holds a huge 120,000 people to welcome in the India National team. Also, the stadium is home to four of India's best club teams.

Even though England and Spain have the two most watched leagues with teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United, and many other famous teams, they do not have the biggest stadiums in the world. England does not even get on the board till eighth with the huge Wembley Stadium and Spain comes in at sixth with Camp Nou. Even Malaysia comes in with a bigger Stadium than these two.

But big capacity is not what makes a stadium great, it is the atmosphere or how close you are to the pitch. Also, you want a nice and comfortable seat or a nice new shiny stadium. It is not all about capacity. In most of these huge stadiums you are very far from the pitch and some are old and dirty. While some of the big stadiums are cool and neat. Stadiums that are not the biggest are not always the worst and these will be what we look at tomorrow. I am looking to do about five close up looks at the good seating, fancy gadgets and good atmosphere.

If you would like to vote on a stadium to view tomorrow, just comment what you would like.
Good Bye!!
