Two More Stadiums!!

Well breaking news has reached, Ronaldinho has drank a can of pepsi! What has the world come to? The Brazilian Ronaldinho has lost his 500,000 pound deal with Coca-Cola for drinking a pepsi in public. Apparently he had a sponship deal or commercial deal with Coca-Cola and one of the only things they asked him to do was not to drink a pepsi in front of everybody else. Unfortunately for him somebody saw him drink a pepsi and his deal was dropped!

Two more stadiums we will continue with today.

Old Trafford

Next on our stadium list is another Premier League stadium. It is the home of Manchester United and is called Old Trafford. Some called it the field of dreams, after Man U's sad and exciting history. The stadium is one of the biggest in England holding a huge amount of people 75,811. On our list of great stadiums it is the oldest, having it's first match in 1910. Since it was so close to the industrial part of Manchester it got hit by a lot of bombs during the German air raids in World War Two. Other than the repairs on it after that not many changes have been made. In the seats they always have something spelled out with white chairs. A feature that is always there is the Manchester United spelled out and sometimes they will have their sponsor spelled out to, along with other things.  The atmosphere at this stadium is great the Red Devils are almost always playing infront of a full house, meaning a ticket is not the easiest thing to get. If you want to visit the field of dreams not just for a game, they have a museum and a tour around the stadium. What kind of great stadium would not have a megastore? Old Trafford has one of the biggest stores you will find in a stadium.

Signal Iduna Park

The last and final stadium is Borussia Dortmund's stadium Signal Induna Park. It is the largest stadium in Germany holding 80,700! Most fans call it "The Temple" and most proffesionals and the press call it "the nicest stadium in Germany". One of the best things about this stadium is the crowd and atmosphere. Here the fans love,love,love their home team Dortmund and come out every game to watch them. There is standing places with a combined compacity of 25,000. In the north stand (at least I think it is and not the south stand) the fans stand up the whole game waving their flags and jumping over and over again. The color at this stadium is cool to me, even though some say it looks like a giant bumble bee. The stadium is always packed to the max! A really cool feature about this stadium is that under the grass they have a drainage system and that is not the coolest part. It also has a heater to heat the grass when it gets really cold or starts to snow/ice so the game can go on with out the pitch being in bad conditions. The stadium used to be called Westfalenstadion, until Dortmund's sponsors wanted to change the name. This stadium has been a venue in two World Cups.
