Ultimate Sporting Venue Tournament

Necro

The Crucible Theatre

The helipad is incredibly unique but it looks like about 4 people could watch the game there. I think the history of the Crucible is more than deserving to advance here. And also cos of these guys

The Crucible.

The helipad looks spectacular but its a novelty item. Whereas the Crucible has history, drama, late nights where you could cut the tension with a knife. A proper sporting venue.

The Crucible Theatre

Spent my childhood watching snooker, don't get to see it anymore cos I don't have sport channels. Watched many matches from the crucible, I would love to go there.

The other one isn't even a real venue

Helipad looks unreal, and is frightening,

But the crucible is the home of snooker, has to advance here

Kolido

The crucible. Loved snooker when I was younger, both playing and watching. The other is a fun idea but not a sporting venue

Collie D

Same thinking as Necro. If there’s no fans can it really be classed as a venue - as cool as it is? I’ll go with The Crucible.

Has to be the cruicible for me, even though the other one is a very cool gimmick

Electric Nitwit

The Crucible is a sports venue, for starters. It's also one of the most iconic sports venues in the world and the pinnacle of its sport

The other was a photo op

Crucible please

The Crucible, not a snooker fan but even I've heard of it

The Crucible for me.

I was outside it once years ago, and for such a well known venue it was the most underwhelming place I think I've ever seen!

But for all the years of memories, particularly that night of D Taylor's win at about 1.30am on a school night, it gets my vote.

The Crucible.
Watched a lot, played a bit, of snooker in the heyday of Higgins, Davis, Jimmy White all those guys. As others have said here, memories of late night matches, renowned sporting venue, known to non-fans.
The other one is a gimmick

This.

Also, you're not in danger of falling off the Crucible. You couldn't play a proper match on that helipad.

Deserved the nomination for sure, but its time has come...

Sorry work was manic today. Raging to miss out


The Crucible synonymous with snooker

All except one have gone for the winner here.

Memphis Pyramid

Home of Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson

Necro

Memphis Pyramid

Far more unique and very cool looking

JP Liz V1

Thomond Park as the home of Munster Rugby and something nice in Limerick and it's in Ireland

Collie D

The Pyramid - it’s pretty impressive. Not bothered enough to give more of a reason than that though considering I didn’t even know it existed until a day or two ago.

KathleenGrant

Memphis Pyramid

I think it looks amazing

Thomond Park

I don't even know what the inside of the pyramid looks like, is it even a full time sporting venue?
I like rugby

Electric Nitwit

Thormond Park, its a cool stadium and the Pyramid (sadly) isn't really a sports venue

Memphis Pyramid, it has an interesting shape. Thomond is pretty average if you're not from Munster

It's another draw! Let's get to the tie breaker!

Spurs Stadium

Looks so impressive and facilities there look quality

Necro

Spurs Stadium

I hate to admit it but I think it's my favourite stadium tbh. Probably being swayed by that moveable pitch

Electric Nitwit

Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc...

...for the amazing diving photos at the 92 Olympics

hurlingman97

Spurs stadium, state of the art, retractable pitch, sleek looking.

Zaph

Spurs Stadium. I'm hoping that some day Leeds will have a stadium as cool as that.

JP Liz V1

Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc, looks spectacular

That swimming pool!

The views!!

And EN has prompted me to go looking for more of those photos - every day's a school day on boards.ie!

Collie D

The pool for the views. Spurs’ ground looks great, modern venue to watch a game but is pretty ugly on the outside.

Electric Nitwit

Just in case anyone needs convincing...

Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc

Outdoor swimming pool with great views, love it!

tc20

Piscina Montjuïc
Location, views, and its an Olympic venue that's available to use by the public. Win

cdeb

That view from the pool wins

The Spurs stadium is just a run-of-the-mill 50k ground; nothing special

Sawduck

Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc
Beautiful view, wouldn't mind a swim in it myself

Omackeral

Stunning comeback.

Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc advances

Last match of the round incoming and it's two deep dishes... As above feel free to post additional pics to sway people to your side!

Rose Bowl

Cos it's great and iconic

So is Camp Nou but fcuk Barcelona

Was in camp nou and it's a great experience, but I would love to experience the rose bowl, love the wide openness of it.

So, the Rose Bowl for me.

Zaph

I'll stick with my nomination here, the Rose Bowl. Hosting two Olympics and a World Cup final elevates it to a whole new level compared to other venues
