If we are speaking of stadiums connected to soccer, here we go.. - RFK (too many to count) - CCS (" ") - Old Foxboro (WWC Semifinal) - New Foxboro (Revs-Burn last year) - Germantown Soccerplex (DC-NJ USOC match) - Ramat Gan National Stadium, Israel (tour) now the grasping begins... - Jesse Owens Stadium (OSU Soccer) - Ludwig Field (Maryland Soccer) - Kehoe Field (G'Town soccer) - George Mason Stadium - GMU Soccer - American U. Soccer Stadium - Cunningham Stadium - Former home of the NASL's Washington Diplomats and forever home of the W.T. Woodson HS Cavaliers There's my admittedly rather dissapointing list... though I am only 20, still plenty of time
This might take a bit... USA Crew Stadium Ohio Stadium Mile High RFK Kuntz Field CMGiletteboro Giants Stadium Soldier Field England Old Trafford Highbury St. James Park Stamford Bridge Anfield Ewood Park Goodison Park St. Marys Maine Road White Hart Lane Riverside Stadium The Valley St. Andrews Loftus Road Craven Cottage Elland Road Villa Park Reebok Stadium Upton Park The Hawthorns Stadium of Light Filbert Street Pride Park Portman Road Brammall Lane Priestfield Selhurst Park City Ground Adams Park Madejski Stadium Twickenham Ireland Lansdowne Road Tolka Park Wales Mellinium Stadium Ninian Park Sweden (i'll just name clubs....) AIK Djurgården Halmstad Malmö IFK Göteborg Sundsvall Elfsborg (with OGHT.. it was a crap town) Öster Enköping Kalmar Västerås Norrköping Åtvidaberg Assyriska Sylvia Jönköping Varberg Kungsbacka Misc Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna) Santiago Bernabeu To be added in the next 3 weeks: Gerland Stadium (Lyon) Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium (Saint Etienne) Stade de France I'm sure i'm fogetting some, but oh well.....
If i would have still be living in the states, i would have all MLS stadiums. I know I'll be adding LA this summer, and depending on when the Open Cup is i'll be adding Invesco. Nothing is better than away matches though. Doesn't matter if you are a group of thousands, a small group like the one we took to DC, or when Chris and I went to New Jersey.... It is always more fun away.

(Genoa) England Upton Park Stamford Bridge Highbury
I didn't see matches at all of those... Highbury was a reserve game, Adams Park was a WWFC press conference, and nothing was going on at Stamford Bridge or Craven Cottage. I took a ground tour at Stade de France, the Valley was for London Broncos, and I was at Twickenham for the 2001 Zurich Premiership final. Were you there for football? The England stadia were all from the same trip, during spring 2001. Stade de France was in '99. How I packed that many in to one trip was through my work experience placement at the daily star. I want to join the 92 club, although at my current rate it could be impossible.
I am just a visitor to your boards but this subject caught my attention. I thought it would be interesting (for me at least) to list the stadiums I have been too: To see a soccer game: LA Memorial Coliseum Rose Bowl Spartan Stadium Arrow Head Stadium Oakland Coliseum Foxboro (World Cup '94, Korea vs Bolivia, the only scoreless draw of the whole tournament!) To see a baseball game: Edison Field (Anaheim) Dodger Stadium Candlestick Park Yankee Stadium Camden Yards Arlington Park (Texas Rangers) Paseo Stadium (Guam ;-) ) To see a football game: Anaheim Stanford Stadium Cal Memorial Stadium Husky Stadium (Seattle) Reser Stadium (OSU Beavers) Sun Devil Stadium Pro Player Stadium (Miami) Cotton Bowl Giants Stadium And tomorrow I can add to the list: HDC I hope to visit in the future: CCS Bonus Answer: Arenas (b-ball, hockey, arena football) LA Sports Arena Great Western Forum Staples Center Pauley Pavillion (UCLA) Oakland Arena HP Pavillion (San Jose) NY Islanders Arena Maples (Stanford)
Yeah, I didn't think they would ever do anything other than egg-chasing at Twickenham. So you saw Wasps do the unexpected against Gloucester? I'm sorry to see them exiled in High Wycombe, but I suppose it's the best they can do at this time.
I think it is great that they are out in Wycombe. I have a box at Adams Park so i get in for free! (and it is the closest ground to where i currently live)
umm... crew stadium ohio stadium soldier field naiperville "high school" stade de france munich olympic stadium what a lame list. i need to get to more places.
