Remarkable Football Grounds is a collection of some of the most
memorable places to watch and play football around the world. They
range from the stellar stadiums of the Premier League to windswept
islands in the Scottish Hebrides or the far-flung Pacific,
including stadia that resemble flying saucers, a crocodile and an
armadillo! Remarkable Football Grounds features a range of the
oldest, biggest, highest, quirkiest and furthest flung stadia and
the stories behind their existence. Italian Serie B team Venezia
can be reached by canal, with moorings nearby; Bamburgh Castle
football ground lies in the shadow of a Game of Thrones-scale
fortress, while Estadio Silvestre is a full-size pitch on the roof
of a building in Tenerife. Some of the oldest, storied stadiums are
here, including Anfield for Liverpool, Fulham, which has a tunnel
under the pitch and the two Dundee football clubs, that have
sizeable grounds, Tannadice and Dens Park, just 183 metres (200
yards) apart. At the quirkier end of the scale, the Aveiro stadium
in Portugal looks like a giant children's playset, while in
Gangwon, South Korea, the football pitch doubles as a ski jump
landing area. Many of the stadiums come with spectacular views. The
Faroe Islands have produced some strong football teams in the past
and many of their grounds are set in picture perfect landscapes.
The same can be said of Norway's Lofoten Islands where flat land is
at a premium and the pitch sides are used for drying fish. In
Slovakia, the Janosovka football pitch has a narrow gauge railway
that runs between the pitch and the grandstand. Others are located
in some of the most dangerous parts of the world. Nobody loves the
'away' fixture at Coroico which entails tackling the 'Death Road'.
Grounds include: the impressive new Qatari World Cup venues,
Wembley Stadium, Camp Nou, Monaco, Old Trafford, Allianz Arena,
Petrovsky (Zenit St.Petersburg), Trogir in Croatia, Longgang in
China and the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
