Sportboy, they would play in Monaco if not aloud to play at du Ray. Marseille would be the 3rd choice.

What is the minimum seating requirements for a stadium to play in the Champions League ? Monaco's stadium isnt that much bigger than Nice's its 18,500 I believe I thought the minimum requirement was like 25,000.

You're right, there is a seating requirement, and its definitly over 18,000 but Monaco's stadium is an expection, its one of the nicest stadiums in the world.
Safety is also a big issue and i am pretty sure Nice's stadium doesnt fit EUFA's criterias.

with OGCNice doing so well do you think they can get a new stadium now ? What I think may happen is that if they make the Champions League the fans and owners wil be so embarassed that they'll have to play in another stadium that public pressure by the public may force them to try to build one sooner. Imagine if you make the Champions League and your club plays in a large world class city but your stadium is tiny rinky dink piece of crap the football public will be laughing at you.

Maybe the mafia will build one, that's where the money is.
No but seriously, a new 30k stadium for Nice would mean i would have to move back there.
