    Well then, I guess it's time to update the old radar. The WW II model seems to not be doing the trick anymore. Lol

    Was intrigued by this thread and felt I had to join in.
    It has already taught me about some stadia that I'd never heard of before
    Here are my contributions

    Loftus Road, Shepherd's Bush, London, England
    Capacity: 18,360 (a bit small I know)
    This is my favourite stadium within the bounds because of how close fans are to the action
    http://www.footballgroundguide.com/queens_park_rangers/

    Britannia Stadium, Stoke-on Trent, Staffordshire, England
    Capacity: 28,383
    http://www.footballgroundguide.com/stoke_city/

    DW Stadium, Wigan, Lancashire, England
    Capacity: 25,023
    http://www.footballgroundguide.com/wigan_athletic/

    The New Den, Millwall, London, England
    Capacity: 20,146
    http://www.footballgroundguide.com/millwall/

    Easter Road, Edinburgh, Scotland
    Capacity: 20,250
    http://www.footballgroundguide.com/scotland/hibernian.htm

    Not suggesting this as a stadium design but The New Saints of Wales converted their stadium from athletics to sole use for football
    http://www.footballgroundguide.com/wales/the-new-saints/index.html

    An enlarged version of Parc y Scarlets would be nice as well

    This fits the bill. The Size, design, and cost effectiveness make something like this good for DCU or the Revs IMHO.

    Brighton FC? We are Brighton & Hove Albion FC! And the bottom pic is over a year old now. The East Stand (where I sit, and the far side in the bottom pic) now has an upper tier, and the corners have now all been filled in, both shown in the top pic. First season, capacity was 22,500, but a year old and it now holds 30,750.

    That indoor one in Norway is prime for Las Vegas/Arizona/What any stadium in Texas...should look like

    a small small opening obviously in the center. Somewhat like Vancouver's??

    i wish I was goo with computers maybe someone on here can put together the kind that id like. I'd like steep double deck kop like stands on all sides of the pitch like boavista's stadium minus the towers on the corner's more fliud like gronigen and the roof of the kadir has' stadium but close to the pitch like loftus road stadium

    i'd like to see a combo of this minus the concrete towers mixed with the roof of the one below

    i think to really enjoy football you must me as close to the pitch as possible but that sadi the stands must be steep at least on three sides, great pitch size nice and large like portland's and nice roof like the Kadhir Has and with great lighting the placce would be world class, I'm sure it could be 19 or 22 k seater but if it has the free stands like boavista or burissia dortmund it could have more attendance if going with genral admission

    I hope you meant to say,the temporary home of New York City FC. If not,this team is doomed to fail. NYC FC playing in this stadium just wont work. They'll need thier own ground.

    While I agree with the overall sentiment, this seems a bit hyperbolic. At any rate, I don't believe we have any confirmation that NYCFC will play there. In addition, this kind of strays from the point of the thread: it's not a pissing match between MLS stadiums (or in this case, a potential MLS stadium), but a chance to look at stadiums around the world that fit the league.
