Football stadiums you've watched football in...

Forgot also to add Red Bull Arena and Giants Stadium in New Jersey. Giants stadium is not officially a football stadium obviously but I saw NY Red Bulls v LA Galaxy there. Was Beckham's first season there so huge crowd. Beckham spent 90 minutes slowly walking up and down the right wing and was more interested in mouthing off at fans on the sidelines than the actual match.

and a handful of European aways. Done quite a few non league grounds but couldn't tell you all of them, and a few more European grounds watching random games.
 
To many to mention so i thought i'd just list the away days following Everton to the grounds that no longer exist.

Maine road.
Roker park.
Ayresome park
The dell.
Highfield road(still remember kopite mick quinn dancing right in front of me. Nailed on he'd score)
Highbury
Upton park
White hart lane
The manor ground.
The den
Plough lane.
 
I 've done around 58 off the top of my head, not that I can remember many of them, most in the 70's and 80's so quite a few of the original grounds. The joys of supporting a team who have had spells in the top 3 league. Maybe I should have been a Wolves supporter then I would have had the top 4 leagues to visit.
 

I`ve clocked up north of 90 different grounds since I started traveling to games. I always liked to go to grounds with a bit of character or in places you would have no reason to go to and go just for a game. While there are lots of new grounds built that seem fantastic, I still like the older grounds as the old grounds all seemed to have there own distinctive features. Fulham is a nice ground and I liked going to Charlton too (very basic but felt like a proper football ground.
In Italy you get some very odd looking grounds considering it would be regarded as one of Europes top leagues. Went to see Brescia when they were in Serie a a few years back and their ground is an outdated, run down bowl shaped stadium, with temporary seating on 3 sides inside the bowl. Not to be outdone, Cagliari have a complete stadium with temporary seating on 4 sides as they demolished their old ground and are still waiting to start building their new ground.
