@@SilvanaDil who cares bro.. all London stadiums have such a rich history, especially cricket and football that you could use them musems or touristic attractions.. you could go to a small village in East Asia and people would know Wembley...
@@SilvanaDil Did you even read the original post here? Btw, that world's most expensive stadium is so overrated it can't even hold a football game when there's lightning in the local area, which is ironic considering the logo of one of the teams based there is a lightning bolt!
Couple of extra facts... the Oval cricket ground used to hold the FA Cup Final, as did the Crystal Palace athletics stadium. The Hive stadium was originally meant to be for Wealdstone, but they had to pull out as their investors went bust - Barnet then moved in, initially as a training base, then converted it for matches after leaving Underhill
Stamford Bridge also held the FA Cup finals of 1920, 1921 and 1922. and a close by stadium called Lille Bridge, now long gone hosted the second only FA Cup final in 1873.
🌐Fun-fact London has enough international accredited stadiums / venues, which could host every team/match in the European Football Championship, World Rugby Cup and a multi sports tournament up to the Commonwealth/World Student Games level. London is one of two reserve city's for hosting major sporting events (ie. The Olympics) in the event of rescheduling an individual event or multiple events 🤔 Amazing city and bangingly brilliant people 🎖🎖🎖

It’s the world capital of sport. It’s home to football, BY FAR the worlds biggest sport. It has the home of cricket, which as anyone who lives on the Asian subcontinent will say, captivates that country of a billion people. We have the home of rugby. The home of tennis. The worlds most watched sports league. The Olympus 3 times. Then there the stadiums. No city can match the breadth of English sport, not even close. Although I’m sure some yank will mention Los Angeles, but since our sports predate you ever stealing California, you can go back to you huge soda and pipe down.

Nice to see some non-league stadiums in there. I want to mention a few south London stadiums that are worth a look: Mayfield Stadium, KNK Stadium, Champion Hill, Eden Park, Croydon Arena. 🙂

Since you seem to like Calgary so much, you should do a stadiums of Calgary. We've got: The pringle The wacky dirt tracked grandstand The stadium that was built in 100 days The fastest ice in the world The wacky dirt arena And a few other small, insignificant arenas and stadiums
the twickenham stoop plays host to field hockey during the summer for big crowds and the lee valley hockey and tennis center "pitch 1" (where england and team gb play) has a capacity of 3000 but can be exted to 15 000 for large games such as world cup olympic and fih pro eauge games.
Fantastic video as always. Was expecting a comment on every stadium that had seen an Aussie sporting victory over England as that could cover about 6 of these stadiums. There is also the Olympia centre near Earls Court that hosts equestrian events and has hosted lots of other sporting events in the past. That can hold several thousand when its not hosting trade shows and conferences.
The Royal Albert Hall, although built as a concert hall, has hosted sports events including boxing, basketball and tennis with a capacity of 7,000. Earls Court was the volleyball venue in 2012.
One notable omission is Olympia exhibition centre which stages the annual horse of the year show which is a show jumping exhibition. Not sure on capacity but it must be close to 4,000 if not more.
You missed out the largest one. The banks of the Thames host the annual Boat Race. crowds have reached 270,000 and also on the edge of London is Epsom Race track, it hosts 150,000 spectators on Derby day and on the opposite edge of London is the Romford Greyhound track which can hold 4,000. Old Deer Park can hold 5,000. Lee Valley Hockey Stadium holds 3,000 spectators but they can hold up to 15,000 when they erect temporary stands.

Tottanham's stadium isn't the only one to be named for the club, as Brentford's is called the Brentford Community Stadium. I've also been to Kingsmeadow, when Kingstonian were there, as an away supporter of Hayes & Yeading (as that was the local club to where I worked, at the time).

Watford is its own town that just happens to be very near London in the county of Hertfordshire. Although its within the M25 orbital motorway and has its own Tube stop and is probably marketed as a London club to attract foreign players it's not in London.
Vicarage Road is probably 2-3 miles from the London border but Watford has London transport (overground and underground trains) so it can be confusing.
Watching this and thinking maybe London has too many stadiums.... stadia? Perhaps we can demolish the Emirates and Stamford Bridge? Did you miss Lords or did I miss Lords?
Football is extremely popular so even grass roots non-league teams get decent infrastructure. The cricket, rugby and tennis stadiums are cultural icons and they are pooled funds from their respective sports associations. The national football stadium, Wembley is paid for by the English FA. Although there are probably back door land deals with local councils throughout history you don't get quite the level of public body investment / corruption using public funds as found in say Italy.
You know, it's really disappointing that you didn't give us a good aerial view of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, because I'm sure the "modern marvel" aspect of it would be slightly ruined by the fact that it looks like a goddamn toilet seat.
