I just want to know, what do you think are the best small stadiums in the world? I'm looking for ones that are around less than 20,000 capacity.
AZ Alkmaar's future home, Kooimeerplaza (16k capacity), looks pretty nice.

I ran across Molde Stadium, which is in Norway, and seats 11,000.

The Finnair stadium is a pleasant little place (and there's a beer terrace on the lower tier of the main stand)

Upest's new ground in Budapest isn't too shabby either.

For atmospheric smaller venues though, you'd be doing well to beat Panathinaikos' stadium, which looks and feels far bigger than its 16000 capacity.

The Hindmarsh stadium pics aren't working. It looks like an ok venue, nothing really special. The Finnair stadium looks really nice.

I seriously can't believe this place hasn't collapsed yet.

I don't see any seats, so at first glance I thought this was the Home Depot Center.

Is this the one you're talking about? It seats 8,000 and looks like it's in a serene environment.

Indeed it is. Livi played there for a Uefa Cup qualifier a wee while back. You can see some of the backdrop in the following picture.
