Ultimate Sporting Venue Tournament

Rose Bowl

Zaph

The Rose Bowl - it's one of the most iconic stadiums in the States.

Omackeral

Demolition derby there. Rose Bowl wins and advances

Omackeral

Two parks up next, couldn't be more different.

Kolido

Missed the last 2 matches, silverdome was one of my noms but I probably would have voted the darts, enough stadiums here.

Rose Bowl also one of my noms, looks nicer and more history than the millennium. Glad to see it go through

Omackeral

FitzGerald Stadium

Home of Kerry GAA



VS

Fenway Park

Home of Boston Red Sox, World Series (11 x times)

Necro

Gotta go Fenway Park here, not seeing it with Fitzgerald Stadium tbh

Zaph

Fenway Park, home of the Green Monster. And a hugely entertaining place to watch a ball game if you're out in the cheap seats with the regulars.

Electric Nitwit

Fenway Park

Proper classic

Top tip, if you're in Boston and want to see Fenway, just go to the Bleacher Bar...

tc20

Fenway for me, just think it's more internationally known.
It could be argued that both fields cater for a native sport only, never got the baseball 'world' series when only US teams play in it (again open to correction, do the Philippines get an entry in the same way as London or NY get into the All Ireland??

Fenway

Croke Park is the only GAA stadium worthy of this competition imo, and it should win from what I've seen so far

Omackeral

Fenway Park slaughters its competition.




Who nominated that!?

Omackeral

Spurs Stadium

Home of Tottenham Hotspur



VS

Anfield

Home of Liverpool FC

Necro

Ah jaysus.

Let's see where the loyalties lie now


Gotta go with Spurs Stadium, the way they can fold away the pitch is just phenomenal. Shame about the team it was built for though :P

hurlingman97

Tottenham Stadium,

Nicest new stadium imo, and the retractable pitch is unreal.

BrianBoru00

Gutted I didn't start before now..

Anfield - hands down.
Experienced it first hand but it's near mythical status for atmosphere alone should see it through

SineadSpears

Spurs because from the pics it looks a bit nicer ..

That would be me

Electric Nitwit

Anfield

...but if I'm honest that might only be because I haven't been to the new spurs stadium, it does look awesome.

2 of the 4 stands at Anfield are pretty crap, but I can't vote against the location of most of my best sporting moments. The atmosphere isn't as reliable as we'd like to believe, but when it's good it's unbeatable

Zaph

Spurs Stadium, it has its own micro-brewery inside. Surely that on its own is enough for it to win?

tc20

Tough one here as I've no allegiance to either team.
Anfield has the history, the emotion.
Spurs has the high tech, is it the future of soccer stadia? Or will it be another soulless corporate day out?
Gotta go with my gut here and say Anfield.

Sawduck

Spurs Stadium its pretty class looking and I can't bring myself to vote for Anfield

Well, I couldnt look at myself in the mirror again if I didnt pick Anfield. Besides that, steeped in history, spurs stadium is too new.

JP Liz V1

Anfield

paulie21

Anfield easily

Don't care less about either soccer team, so purely on looks,
Spurs Stadium

Omackeral

It's a draw! Time for a tie breaker...

Omackeral

Let's check the reasons. Here we go...

Spurs Stadium advances

SineadSpears

Surprised I earned a full point there for my reason

JP Liz V1

Anfield as a Man Utd fan some legendary battles there

Kolido

Spurs beat liverpool, we'll never hear the end of it.

cdeb

Kick both of them out and let Braga back in, I say.

Omackeral

Thomond Park

Home of Munster Rugby



VS

Štadión na Sihot

Home of AS Trenčín

Necro

Thomond Park

Not fussed on either, but Thomond is pretty neat.

cdeb

Trencin has cool floodlights, but that's not enough here I think.

Thomond.

Kolido

I will vote local and go with Štadión na Sihot

SineadSpears

I'll go for the Slovakian one for the castle on the hill

Electric Nitwit

I googled Štadión na Sihot and don't get it... is it just the little castle overlooking it? Not enough

Vote Thormond Park

JP Liz V1

Thomond Park, home of Munster Rugby, iconic Limerick stadium

Sawduck

Thomond Park because I support munster

hurlingman97

Thomand

Zaph

Neither are great and I'd assume the winner won't go much further, but Thomond looks like a neat, well-built little stadium. I'd be voting for the castle, not the stadium if I went for the other one.

BrianBoru00

Thomand Park - one of the great rugby arenas, certainly top 3 outside of the national stadia
