    You've selected only modern arenas. For me a beautiful called stadium must have charm and history. Of course the Westfalenstadion is the most beautiful in the world ;). And in England there are many old beautiful grounds for example anfield.

    I don't think you even have the most beautiful stadium in Portugal. :)

    I *love* the way they use of the landscape at Estadio Municipal de Braga:

    If I had to pick one from this list, I would go with Cape Town Stadium. There's just something about the stadium's visual that I really enjoy. King Abdullah Stadium would probably be second for me.

    Never in history there was a great stadium that took so LOOOOOONG to finish and to make up the deficit:

    Let's visit my city Montreal, Canada

    Nothing can beat SC Braga's ground. I was lucky enough to visit it this month, a memorable scene.

    It seems, at least in my mind, that the smaller, more intimate stadia have an advantage. What ten would you have chosen if you increased the minimum to 70,000?

    From your list I choose Dragao (Porto).

    Others I like that aren't listed..

    Azteca (Mexico-City, Mexico)
    Saitama Stadium (Saitama, Japan)
    Westfalenstadion (Dortmund, Germany)
    Fritz-Walter-Stadion (Kaiserslautern, Germany)
    Stade de la Beaujoire (Nantes, France)

    All 40k plus.. (don't understand why you took that as a criteria).

    I actually didn't know the Mane Garrincha in Brazil looked that good, mostly because I watched the games playing in it and the inside seems just normal, but the outside it's new but the design reminds me of old Greek temples, or masonic constructions, it's quite beautiful.

    Out of these I really didn't think any of them were stand-outs. I'm not sure what was the criteria he had when he picked but outside of the first 3 (mexican, argentinean and brazilian stadiums) I would remove all and add

    I would add the
    Beijing National Stadium (the bird's nest)
    Azadi in Tehran
    Soldier Field (renovated while the outside facade of the stadium remained)
    De Meer Stadion (amsterdam)
    First National Bank Stadium (South Africa)
    Giuseppe Meazza (AC Milan)
    and of course... Olympiastadion (Germany)

    Among those ten, I voted for Allianz Arena.
    To me, the best is now the new national stadium of Singapore:
    [​IMG]
    It has a retractable roof and retractable seating configurations on the lowest tier, so it can hosts both football matches (with more seats, because the running track is covered by them) and athletics events (with less seats, because the running track is visibile).

    The question is the most beautiful stadium looked from the outside or in general?
