New Wembley for me. pitch always seems terrible, too big to have an atmosphere, weird acoustics, dump of an area.

Wembley is ruined by the Club Wembley band that runs around the stadium...it's a neutral zone that houses the suits and sponsors where no colours are meant to be worn ....so it divides the stadium and dampens any atmosphere ....pity because other than that it is awesome.

Emirates is a thing of beauty but poor atmosphere for most games ....I hope Spurs new stadium which will look similar in every facet will learn some lesson from this ...it is proposed that it will  have a kop style  home end  to house the Park Lane upper and Park lane lower fatihful

Same with the camp Nou for me.

I was in the Camp Nou for the Barca v Atletico game last season and the only time there was noise was after Barca scored. The locals are too used to being entertained. There was a bit of singing at other times but it wasn't the raucous atmosphere you'd expect for a game of that magnitude.

Then again, if they'd scored at the end, I reckon the place would still have exploded.

I didn't like Croke Park. It just felt like a concrete block. There wasn't many distinguishing features about it. It had the look of a modern stadium but without the benefits of one.

I'm not a fan of new LR. It's very hard to exit the place after a game and not enough toilets.

The Allianz Arena, Munich. 

A bland bowl that has no distinguishing features whatsoever and a sh*t camera position.

Camp Nou is a sh*thole to be fair.
