I've not had the privilege! The "Worst Ground I've Ever Been To Award" has to go to the old Manor Ground in Oxford. Rest in pieces...
Clearly you never went to Millmoor, former home of Rotherham United. They could have filmed the next Mad Max movie in the industrial wasteland immediately surrounding the stadium, and they wouldn't even have needed to hire a set designer. It looked like the apocalypse had just blown through.
Blackpool's hurriedly preparing a new East Stand to temporarily complete the square at their Bloomfield Road ground... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/blackpool/8736398.stm Kinda cool Though the temporary stand construction has forced a change to their first Premier League home fixture Here's what the old East Stand looked like (torn down a few years ago) Here's what it looks like now And the modular stand will look kind of like The stand above was built by Worcester Rugby Club, and then later retrofitted into this. Would be neat if MLS clubs like Columbus and Toronto could spruce up plain bleachers like that.
This might be an alternative for DC United as well - We have no idea what kind of grounds Chang might be able to find, but if its anything like the bankrupt Rosecroft Raceway, some temporary stands would be a good way to go while before permanent stands can be erected
honestly, at this point i'd take a technologically advanced modular stadium. the worcester rugby ground would be like a holy blessing at this point.
