I see your point. That could present the camera with a solid wall of cheering fans. That would look impressive.

Yep, 17,023 to be exact, including the VIP and box seats. The general admission is 14,620, all seated.

I really like Hull City FC's KC Stadium. 25,000 capacity, built in 2002 and it cost 44 million pounds. Not too bad of a price.

lokomotiv central stadium in russia looks pretty nice. has a capacity of around 28,000, which would be a little much in my opinion, but if the revs really want a large one, this would look good.

I'm sure this one has been brought up by now, but I just came across it for the first time. Stade Des Aples in Grenoble, France. Just opened this year. Capacity 20,000.

New to me. Looks really nice though.

I'm sure something along these lines may have been posted before, but is there any good answer as to why costs for American stadiums are so ridiculous? I just read that Juve's new 40K Delle Alpi replacement is being put together for something like 132 million USD. Why are we up in the same price ranges for much less smaller and frequently less interesting places?

^ I've been wondering that too. Cardiff's new stadium is being built for 44 million pounds, roughly 90 million USD, and they get a full roof!
