Ultimate Sporting Venue Tournament

Necro

All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club

Centre Court is class. I do like the other one too mind.

HeidiHeidi

Ah, have to go for Wimbledon here! Absolutely class venue, loved it the one time I was there.

Zaph

Not a tennis fan, but Wimbledon is home of one of the 4 biggest tournaments in the sport, so it has to be there. The other is just a big field for horses to run around.

Surrounded by the hong kong skyline looks impressive, but wimbeldon is just pure class. Should go a long way in this tournament.

Depends on the draw I'd say - MCG nearly got knocked out by a field beside a beach :pac:

Happy Valley Racecourse, but that photo isn't great. It looks better here, with the contrast of the track with the high-rise buildings around it. (Sorry about the size!)

Wimbledon is iconic.

Happy Valley Racecourse

Looks a bit futuristic

cdeb

Happy Valley is a fantastic place for a night's racing.

But it's up against a humdinger in Wimbledon. I've been to Happy Valley, but I'd love to go to Wimbledon, so it gets my vote.

Ah but that was a field beside a beach in Donegal, can forgive that

Happy Valley looks awesome to me personally but the fact of the matter is that Wimbledon advances

Omackeral

Tune in this evening for more Round 1 action. Some crackers in the draw, which was made today. I’ll give a bit of notice before we go live.

Omackeral

Hoping to go live before 7:30pm friends

This is your ten minute warning!

Agreed,

Estadio Municipal de Braga - the uniqueness wins out for me

cdeb

Two great grounds, and a real shame one of them has to leave this early.

But I think I'll shade it for Boca.

Kolido

I remember Bragas stadium from the Euros, quite unique, had thought of nominating it myself.

But I will vote for La Bombonera, steeped in history and pretty unique itself. Google it and you will see.

La Bombonera, 'cos Maradona

Shame one of these has to go out early but I’ve always wanted to see a Boca v River game so La Bombonera for me.

Estadio - idk it looks more smaller & intimate. LaBomb looks like an ikea stadium :pac:

Zaph

La Bombonera, one of the most intimidating stadiums you'll find anywhere.

Electric Nitwit

This one's close!

paulie21

La Bombonera for the history

Omackeral

La Bombonera advances. Did you know it translates as The Chocolate Box and is mental?

Wrigley Field

Home of Chicago Cubs



VS

Turners Cross

Home of Cork City FC

Electric Nitwit

Can we dump both and bring back Braga?

Necro

Wrigley Field

I like it, more than Turner's Cross anyways.

Zaph

1060 West Addison (that's Wrigley Field) for me. Blues Brothers fans will get the reference.

Collie D

Voting Turners Cross solely because I’ve been in it and I tried watching a World Series game once and was simultaneously confused and bored.

PTH2009

Turners Cross

Saw Ireland play there in 2016, majestic atmosphere. Pity Cork City are in the first division with no more Waterford vs Cork derbies (well for this season anyway)

tc20

Not a fan of baseball, however in one of my favourite movies, The Blues Brothers, when Elwood is pulled over by the cops he gives 1060 West Addison as his address.
This is Wrigley Field and fot that reason alone gets my vote
Edit Zaph types quicker than me..

cdeb

Hmm. Wrigley Field is one of my nominations, but I've given out about all the American entries so far. Do I vote for it over a LoI ground?

Yes. The ivy wall, the manual scoreboard and the league table flags make Wrigley a rarity - genuinely proper American ground

Turners Cross - see you in the summer

Wrigley Field

Wrigley fields, for the blues brothers!
