I have heard that UEFA ranks stadiums from one-star to five-star depending on certain construction criteria. I read somewhere that there are only twelve (12) five-star stadiums in Europe. Does anyone know which ones they are?

I have found out that the following seven are five-star:
Amsterdam Arena; Amsterdam, Netherlands
De Kuip; Rotterdam, Netherlands
Camp Nou; Barcelona, Spain
Ernst Happel Stadium; Vienna, Austria
Hampden Park; Glasgow, Scotland
Ibrox; Glasgow, Scotland
Luzhniki Stadium; Moscow, Russia

Information on the other five would be appreciated.

celtic park is 4 star, it would be 5 but the changing rooms are a foot shorter than uefa requirements or some crap like that.

In a report on the bids for the EC 2008, UEFA mentions that Glasgow has three 5-star-stadiums:

Ibrox Stadium, Celtic Park and Hampden Park

Excellent they must have upgraded it

It's in here. So that's 8. Anyone know the other 4?

There have to be some in Italy, right?

I wouldnt bet on it, italian stadia for all their history and prestige are basically dumps.
Look for some in germany, thats a safer bet.

I find that most 'dumpy' stadiums are usually the most fun to be in.

Don't know, the one in Milan should at least be a hot candidate.
In Germany it basically must be Arena AufSchalke and AOL-Arena (Hamburg), but I don't know whether they really are.

In germany i would say:

Schalke 05 ArenaAufSchalke
Bourssia Dortmund: Westfalenstadium
Maybe Hmaburger SV: AOL Arena

Maybe so, but it doesnt tend to get you a five star rating with the head honcho's of the european game
