Favourite Stadium?

[RWC2011Fan]

As a side note, I've only been to Westpac Stadium, but anyway...

Call me weird, but I was quite fond of the provincial grounds during the World Cup. I don't know why, but I really liked how they looked with the colourful crowds, the Rugby World Cup banners and the temporary seating. What made it more memorable was the fact that these grounds are usually half empty for ITM Cups, but the vibe I got from these stadiums during the tournament was great and the embankments gave it a kind of nostalgic charm.

Yay! Pictures:

Also wanted throw in North Harbour. Not exactly a provincial ground, but I think has a really flash look to it:

Thought the Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane at the 2003 RWC was fantastic and, of course, Homebush for the final for the result as had crap seat!!!

Twickenham and Stade de France are probably the worst viewing stadia in so called top class arenas I have been in whereas the Millenium is fantastic...

In Aviva, like the Nothampton stadium as cosy but great viewing and atmosphere, if the parking is shocking!!

Ravenhill of course!

Franklin's Gardens ... Because its home.

Thomond Park is just excelent for the atmosphere.

Honorable mention must go to Castle Park (Doncaster Knights), Very nice ground for a championship club and they have Cow Pies.

HQ is rubbish. And gets worse every time i go.

the FoBar is awesome, the north stand is so steep you are right above the touchline

I think most of us are going to say our home stadium - Thomand Park in my case. Cannot beat the atmosphere on a big game day.

Apart from that I think the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff has a great combination of size and atmosphere, especially for the Six Nations games.

Only been to aviva and ravenhill, but the ravenhill one was much nicer more compact with just a really nice crowd. Loved it, soooo pleasant and I regret not having gone up this season

Only Been to Eden Park and Suncorp and i felt so far away at Eden Park compared to being right up on the players at suncorp, not one bad seat in that place
