Euro 2028 stadium list named

Personally I think the idea of a 24 team tournament being hosted across 5 countries is ridiculous, especially if they all automatically qualify.

Looks like it will be very congested around it, a real bottleneck.

You are right but they are trying to change and add to the transport network in the area
The closest rail station is sandhills which from all accounts is going to struggle with match day numbers. On their forums they talk about the whole Riverside development north of the city centre could lead to abandoned train stations being reopened to serve the new projects not just Bramley Dock but would help on match days. They are going to introduce new Bus services that run along the Northern Docks, and there is private interest in setting up a match day ferry service.
 
Makes you wonder if Elland Road will get the money thrown at it to make it a 50-60k Stadium.

The way they are just surviving the drop back to the championship makes you doubt that development very much too

Hampden is a terrible, soulless football ground. Ibrox or Celtic Park would have been much better

Hampden isn't as atmospheric as it was before the 1980s redevelopment but it still is brilliant and far better than any other stadium in that list.

Wembley? Etihad? Villa Park? You're having a laugh. I've been in noisier undertakers.

I think the idea is we have the infrastructure in place rather than having to build loads of stadiums. In Brazil there were protests due to the spending on huge white elephants whilst half the country lived in poverty. Not that FIFA would give a ****. This well has already been tapped. There ain't a lot more money to squeeze out of people in the UK.

Yes, I agree building new stadia specifically for a tournament, such as in South Africa, Brazil or Qatar is a bad thing. That's not what is happening here.

New stadia get built anyway: the Everton stadium is not contingent on us getting the Euros, nor were grounds such as Lyon dependent on France getting the last Euros. They were happening anyway, and will be frequently used afterwards.

Both UEFA and FIFA would prefer their tournaments to be played in state of the art, up to date facilities than living museums like Hillsborough, Elland Road and Villa Park.

Making a virtue of having the grounds in place already was a tactical error in our recent bids for tournaments.

Fans create atmospheres, not stadia. They can all rock when the crowd is up for it.

Isn’t transport getting away from Spurs stadium supposed to be a nightmare or has it improved now?

The game creates the atmosphere, the crowd respond.

Chanting from a minority of the crowd isn't 'atmosphere', it's just noise. The buzz from the whole ground responding to an exciting game gives the atmosphere.

It's why you can get a better atmosphere with a smaller crowd and fewer chanting.

It hasn't no. It's still not great. There are big bottlenecks at finsbury park. But there's not much you can do really. I didn't try using White Hart Lane station on the overground
 
Any stadium can have a good atmosphere with the right fans in it but some stadiums have better acoustics than others due to the way they are built. The likes of Hampden and the London stadium where West Ham play are not ideal to host football games because the ends behind the goal are too far away from the pitch.

Hampden is a historic place but the earlier comment is spot on, Ibrox and Parkhead would be miles better venues.
