Question to our friendly Mod, Old Lady. How can this place host the 2006 World Cup final?

It may just be the wintry weather or on-going renovation, but boy does this stadium look ugly from the outside. Especially with all the barbed wires and steel fencing. Even the ticket window offices have metal bars.

Yeah those are personal pics. The only relevence is that Old Lady loves Hertha. I was really, really disappointed after that all that treking through the wintry weather got me nothing but pictures of a giant prison.

It looks like its a beautiful stadium... maybe the outside is busted but the interior is superb?

The interior better be superb. It's probably the weather that's making things worse than they really are. But even green grass can't make the prison-like fencing/metal bars go away.

Sorry didn't see this thread until now

Rest assured...the inside is quite beautiful. And for the World Cup, you will seem a much more beautiful outside. Most people will not enter through that way, they will enter through here:



Trust me it will look fine for the World Cup. I can't wait when I make my first trek there in Spring next year.

Ha, ho, he Hertha BSC!!

I should probably move this to the appropriate forum...but I'll wait for xfactor to come back. "jonam" has better answers than I do.
