Manchester City didn't just move to The Etihad. An athletics stadium called The City Of Manchester Stadium was built, initially to be a venue for the 2000 Olympics (Sydney won the bid instead) and then for the Commonwealth Games, held in Manchester in 2002. It was then massively redeveloped to turn it from an athletics stadium into a football stadium, including removing the running track, lowering the pitch and adding additional seating. Manchester City moved into the ground in 2003 and were taken over by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008. It wasn't until 2011 that the stadium was re-named The Etihad.
Way before all of that Msn Utd use to play there when they where Newton Heath as well that area was apart of the red side so City took the stadium then used their oil money to bully Man Utd supporters that had businesses in the area to sell up to build their £1m academy city trying to rewrite history but they can’t remove the plaque that says Man Utd played there & never will. I don’t think this guy did much research.
I am so grateful to have stepped on the pitch of White Hart Lane in January 2017, and I thought "This is going to go soon…". I really do miss the stadium as a lifelong Spurs fan. RIP White Hart Lane (4th September 1899 - 14th May 2017) I miss you 😢
I'm so thankful I managed to attend a match at the wonderful Highbury, against Leicester in 1997. These new mega-grounds are completely soulless, and nothing but a monument to greed.
I feel that a lot more could have been said about Wembley Stadium (originally known as the Empire Stadium). England played nearly all of its home games there, the FA Cup final was played there every year from 1923-2000 (except during the war years), it was the main venue for the 1948 summer Olympics (known as the Austerity Games), the stadium hosted greyhound racing, several concerts were played there including the iconic Live Aid gig in 1985 - and several big names have performed including Queen, Michael Jackson, and Oasis. And of course, it hosted the opening matches and finals of both the 1966 World Cup (as your video mentioned) and the 1996 European Championships or "Euros".
U missed out the very first and real stadium of Universidad de Chile, in 1980, Rolando Molina. The president of that times of Azul Azul, the owners of the team bought a stadium that came in parts in ships from Brazil, but bc of a debt what they got bc of the stadium, they had to sell the parts immediately when that arrived to Chile.
The years I spent watching Arsenal as a Clock End Gooner were by far some of the best games I've seen. Then sitting under cover as a season ticket holder, and taking my son ( now a middle aged Gooner ) leaves fond memories.
Only 10 ! Baseball ground Burnden Park Highfield road Maine Road The Dell Upton park Highbury Christie Park Ayresome Park Goldstone ground Vetchfield White Hart Lane And there's still a few !
Highbury was beautyful. Lots of soul. Thats Arsenal for me. Elland Road will be expanded to 55.000 in the next few years. Great we won"t leave our home.
Of course, the new English stadiums look very modern and of course they have a higher spectator capacity, but unfortunately something like heart and soul has been lost. Something that is very typical of English football in the Premier League.
Nearly all of them had quirks, due to improvised development at their birth before redevelopment after redevelopment. Almost all modern stadia will be perfect rectangles or bowls now. But yes, I agree with you on heart and soul.
I'll never forgive what they've done to Wembley, and that thing that sits on the grounds of where the actual true Wembley once stood is soulless. Why English FA keeps these trends up is something I don't even bother to waste my time thinking about.
I once visited London. I went both to the old Wembley Stadium and Highbury. What is the same for both stadiums that they have their own dedicated metro stations. The one at Highbury stadium was called Arsenal. What did stand out to me was the total different approach to visitors. Wembley had a well organised tour of the complete premises. Although we had a tourguide with us, a lot of the tour was done via screen by Desmond Lynam. I thorougly enjoyed that tour. On a hunch we traveled to Arsenal metro station a couple of days later. First thing we saw were the big lights towering over the houses in the street. After we had some food at a little fish and chips shop we were approached by a man coming out of a door in a big fence. Apparently he was from the stadium as he invited us to enter and go up a pair of stairs. Those were the entrance to the stands and a picture was taken from us. Later we also visited the museum and watched a film on the history of Arsenal. Definitely no Desmond Lynam there. It was more close to Cockney........
Old stadiums just have more charme then the new ones do. My team moved in 1998 from the small and dated stadium Nieuw Monnikenhuize to the ultra modern stadium Gelre Dome. Eventhough Gelre Dome is much larger and offers more comfort. I still mis the old stadium 24 years later.
Arsenal original stadium, Highbury, was an such amazing stadium and it had an amazing time clock that was very unique in their own stadium. It's also irony the fact that PES 6 still used this outdated stadium until they pulled it off in PES 2008, most likely receving complaints from its fans for having Highbury in the PES 6, whose the game released at the 2006 and it was the start of the 2006/07, in which the club had already moved to Emirates Stadium this season. Also, didn't even know that FC Barcelona used to have its own original stadium in the early 20th century before the Camp Nou was being made in late-1940s or 1950s.
Arsenal made a big mistake moving from Highbury to the NFL looking stadium they have now. The current stadium is soulless and quiet, Highbury had a much more intimidating and intimate atmosphere. Not my problem though as I really don't like Arsenal.
I was about 10 when I went to Wembley Stadium for England V Poland in 1999 when the towers were still there. Great match but unfortunately I couldn't see half the match because there were pillars in the way. I've since been to the new stadium twice for music events and there is a MUCH better view and great atmosphere.
Such a shame that these old grounds don't exist anymore - Highbury was a beuatiful ground and their new soulles bowl is nowehere near it in terms of atmosphere and class. The irony is that they built the new stadium to increase match day revenue but these days match day revenue isn't that important, it's all about the TV deals and overseas Online streaming money - so they didn't really have to move after all.
It’s a shame that Highbury was replaced by such a mid stadium, despite being larger, but i will admit that what they’ve done to the old ground is very awesome. They were able to keep a piece of football history afloat, while simultaneously creating new housing units.
True, it will always be Highbury at it's heart. I just wish they'd kept the name with the new stadio instead of a corporate shill peace like the "Emirates Stadium". I hate the way the English FA does this. You don't see the Spanish or Italians calling the Bernabéu "Stadio de Microsoft" or some shit. 20% of the English league is English and they wonder why they don't gel. Now we get to enjoy the bloody World cup in Quarter over the stinkin Christmas. I'm really turning away from football and so many others are too. The audience for the WC finals used to be bigger every year, but ever since it peaked in 2006 the numbers have been dropping. I miss the long everlasting golden era that was the beautiful game.
@@MikeDchy25I hear that but the Emirates stadium name itself is starting to become iconic itself tho. The name "the Emirates" sounds iconic now. Even Barcelona calls their stadium the "Spotify camp nou" now and they gained a sponsor name for their stadium now.
Wembley not only hosted football but also the Olympics , many pop concerts , boxing matches and curiously enough WWE's SummerSlam in 1992 of which I was in attendance .
My grandad was at the game between Man City and Stoke City at Maine Road when they set that record attendance. The record actually still stands outside of Wembley. The only reason Spurs hold it now is that they used Wembley as their home ground. It must have been mad back then though having 85 thousand with huge standing areas. I've been on grounds with a third of that when it was terraced and felt crushed so I bet they couldn't move.
@RobDunn.... City still own the record, its for the largest attendance outside of the national. Stadium, Wembley was only being used by spurs as white Hart Lane was demolished, Wembley was never spurs own ground they were renting it!!!
Maybe for a part II: Bökelberg-Stadion in Mönchengladbach, Parkstadion of Schalke 04 in Gelsenkirchen, Zentralstadion in Leipzig, Müngersdorfer Stadion in Cologne, ...
Wembley was called Empire Stadium & if it wasn't for Greyhound & Speedway racing it would've closed because that was the only regular income at the time in the 1920s and 30s
The Delle Alpi was only used from 1990 to 2006 and was demolished in 2009. What a environmentally bad decision to even build it when you look back at it.
Almost every stadium built for the World Cup in Italy was bad because for some reason they built the track around them, which leads to the current italian stadium situation which is awful
@@leearmstrong9763 They play in Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino (capacity around 28.000) where Juve also played from 2006-2011 before Allianz Stadium was opened.
Indonesia, especially Jakarta has Lebak Bulus stadium, homebase of Persija now demolished become MRT station, but now tehy has new stadium, Jakarta International Stadium 👍
You could do a whole video about the Gasometro story, and how fans worked to buy back the land for a return to their original neighborhood, Boedo (funnily enough, not Almagro).
What they did to Wembley stadium was sacrilegious. The idea of this being done to beloved Camp Nou or the San Siro is blasphemous let alone going through with it. Im Irish and regardless of it being an English we all know the importance of the few venues that are a historic culture of the game. Even the towers that defined that particular venue are long gone and with it (as far as I'm concerned) Wembley stadium. English FA should be ashamed of themselves.
Manchester City played at Hyde Road before Maine Road, not Hyde Park, that's a park in London. Interesting fact, Hyde Road had a railway line running in front of one of the stands, between the stand and the pitch. City moved to Maine Road in 1923.
was that the speedway stadium (only went in my early years but went regularly to Kirky Lane to watch Cradley Heath v Belle Vue as I always liked Chris Morton (abit to young to remember Peter Collins)
@@jimmy-stourbridge-fc8980 no, the speedway stadium was Belle Vue Stadium. Hyde Road was City's stadium upto 1923, when City moved to Maine Road. Hyde Road was demolished shortly after and a goods yard was built where it stood. Interestingly, part of one of Hyde Roads stands was sold to Halifax and still stands at the Shay.
I've been to two! Highbury in 2004 and White Hart Lane in 2005 & 2006. I would have liked to go to the Delle Alpi because it hosted some classic World Cup games. I've been to Turin a few times because I live abroad and I stumbled across the Stadio Olympico (Torino) by accident in 2017 and I wasn't sure if it was the Delle Alpi or not!? Then when I researched it I found it demolished and replaced with the new Juve ground
What about Springfield Park in Wigan, the previous home of Wigan Athletic then The Latics move to JJB Stadium where they share the stadium with the iconic Wigan Warriors Rugby League club (my team)
Re Highbury, the club needed a bigger stadium to increase match revenues to compete with man ure fc. As the ground couldn't be expanded due to the East and West stadiums being designated Listed Buildings, a new facility was required. Thus, the Emirates was born.
That's what theythought back in the early 2000s yeh but it turns out they were wrong. Yes, they built the new stadium to increase match day revenue but these days match day revenue isn't that important, it's all about the TV deals and more importantly over the last decade or so - overseas Online streaming money - so they didn't really have to move after all.
Record Hampden attendance 143,000 plus of course those who got in without paying. I’ve been there with 130,999 others at least that’s the number of tickets sold. It was great.
There is something magical about old Stadiums that this modern luxury bowls don't possess. In my hometown Vienna there are talks to replace the Austrian National Stadium called the "Ernst Happel Stadion" It was build in the 1930s and aside from a roof construction in the 1990s stayed basically the same over the years. Last major event there was the final of the Euro 2008 Now most say that the infrastructure of the stadium is getting to a point of where its becoming embarrassing to host major football games there. The lockerrooms are basically from the 1990s and a big running lane seperates the pitch from the grand stands. The huge diameter of the stadium isn't also not that great when attendance is low which happens often now because people simply don't want to come to this Stadium anymore. Even my friends became very snobby when it comes to stadiums these days. But I've always loved this stadium besides it's imperfections. When its sold out it looks great.Ive seen so many great and bad matches there that a demolition would break my heart. It's the stadium where my grandfather, my father and myself had seen their first major football match.
@@StephD-001 Thanks for sharing that highlight.....attack attack attack was the order of the day...cracking stuff. I'm taking my wife along for her first ever football match Derby v Bristol Rovers on the 29th....let's hope she is a good omen...up the Rams 🐏
People, people , the title is "10 football stadiums" , not 20 , 30 or TOP 10...just "10 football stadiums" , so why complain the other 57155 demolished stadiums around the worldd are not in this video ?
I was sad to see the Delle Alpi go, I much preferred it to the Comunale but it was getting old and changes needed to be made for Juve & Torino to have venues of their own. I knew Juve would build a modern stadium while respecting the magic of the past. And oh boy did they deliver a masterpiece with wonder of the past on it's exterior matched by an interior that you could spend an entire three days exploring. It was funded by many different companies, Fiat as always being the main shareholder, the Emirates also taking part in it's funding. Some people refer to it as the Emirates stadium, stadio Fiat or even stadio Gianni Angelli ✝️ as remembrance to the clubs beloved past owner. But in truth it has no official name other than STADIO JUVENTUS. A fine example on how to rebuild a stadium while respecting the venue and the clubs history as one.
Those are small stadiums… The Maracana (Brazil) held 265.000 seated spectators during the WC Finals in (‘54 i think) and the 2nd largest stadium in the world is in North Korea with 195.000 seats… only can’t remember the exact name of it… think it was called Korean National Stadium.
Never understand why Juventus didn't build their new stadium with a capacity of 50000, or leaving the space for a future expansion, having the ground and space to do it. The new stadium is nice, but small for a top team in Italy and Europe.
Thats the problem… its too big for soccer… I’ve been there many times… depending where your seated you need binoculars to see the the players… otherwise they’ll just look like ants swarming on a field…
Arsenal might have been relegated...but in name only...because of WW1 that relegation was never implemented and thus they remained in the First Division.

As a Newcastle fan, Highbury was always my favourite away ground. Their new place doesn’t get anywhere near.
I’m a Villa fan and I must admit that Highbury was one of my favourite away grounds too.
to this day Arsenal still have not won a Major trophy since Highbury was demolished FA Cup does not count I'm talking European and League
In Emirates away teams don’t get this pressure from the stands as it used to be in Highbury

You missed the best stadium....Baseball ground....knocked down in 2003 former home to the legend that is Derby County and replaced by pride Park.
Super Rams. 🐑
@@StephD-001 Thanks for sharing that highlight.....attack attack attack was the order of the day...cracking stuff. I'm taking my wife along for her first ever football match Derby v Bristol Rovers on the 29th....let's hope she is a good omen...up the Rams 🐏
How do you talk about estadio dad antas and miss estádio da Luz, that in the 80s was the biggest stadium in Europe and 3rd biggest in the world.
I would had liked to see Råsunda Fotbollsstadion (1937-2012) on this list.
Hampden park. 149,000
People, people , the title is "10 football stadiums" , not 20 , 30 or TOP 10...just "10 football stadiums" , so why complain the other 57155 demolished stadiums around the worldd are not in this video ?
Did you include Fellows Park in that count?
Otherwise, it's 57156.
I miss those old stadia like the old highbury.
Although Maine road and the stadia del’Alpi were a bit rubbish.
You should do American football stadiums that no longer exist and then continue from there with other sports
I was sad to see the Delle Alpi go, I much preferred it to the Comunale but it was getting old and changes needed to be made for Juve & Torino to have venues of their own.
I knew Juve would build a modern stadium while respecting the magic of the past. And oh boy did they deliver a masterpiece with wonder of the past on it's exterior matched by an interior that you could spend an entire three days exploring.
It was funded by many different companies, Fiat as always being the main shareholder, the Emirates also taking part in it's funding.
Some people refer to it as the Emirates stadium, stadio Fiat or even stadio Gianni Angelli ✝️ as remembrance to the clubs beloved past owner.
But in truth it has no official name other than STADIO JUVENTUS.
A fine example on how to rebuild a stadium while respecting the venue and the clubs history as one.
Those are small stadiums… The Maracana (Brazil) held 265.000 seated spectators during the WC Finals in (‘54 i think) and the 2nd largest stadium in the world is in North Korea with 195.000 seats… only can’t remember the exact name of it… think it was called Korean National Stadium.
Nah no stadium ever had 265k in attendance never mind seats. Think of it for a second - 3 wembleys on top of each other.
Olympic Stadium in Munich (Olympics 1972, World Cup Final 1974, …) with unique tent roof architecture
It's still there.
How could you have missed the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon that hosted the 2004 Euro final & 2014 Champions League Final?
Stadiums that no longer exist... The "Estádio da Luz" that hosted the 2004 Euro final & 2014 champions league final, still exists... built in 2003...
The delle alpi suffered from terrible sight lines and location and the folks missed the old communale stadium
Good video but I really miss the Cathedral of Spanish football, the home of Athletic Club for a century: San Mamés
And also the stadium of Espanyol Club, which is the stadium of Saria
Would have been nice if you had mentioned the history of rugby league at Wembley stadium.
Nah bringing up that scumbag code would’ve ruined it.
@@danieleyre8913 Sounds like you're insecure lol.
@@timaruoutlaws1905 LOL sounds like I’m _what?_
Estadio da Luz with 120 000 was demolished in 2003
The sloping pitch at Huish?
These Soccer Stadiums Can Now Rest In Peace!

Ali Sami Yen stadium and BJK İnönü Stadium missing
Emirates is so grand Gail in terms of achievements just because the porch is wide and easy for the weaker tu purk buses
You can see the orignal shape of Zentralstadion credit to BDLW who said that it was 100 000 capacity!
@BDLW it looked like such a good stadium, why was it taken down?
You forgot. Estadio da Luz Benfica and Alvalade Sporting.
And Estadio Olimpico (Grêmio old stadium)??
What about The Dell?
Delle Alpi ❤
You could've also had White City stadium
Never understand why Juventus didn't build their new stadium with a capacity of 50000, or leaving the space for a future expansion, having the ground and space to do it. The new stadium is nice, but small for a top team in Italy and Europe.
Italian fans don’t really travel to away games, and at 40,000 capacity they reckoned it would be full every time.
@@nickcorleone8709 they have plans to expand the capacity to 70.000 in 2026-2027…
Austria please
How is Camp Nou infamous? It’s just a big stadium
🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
Thats the problem… its too big for soccer… I’ve been there many times… depending where your seated you need binoculars to see the the players… otherwise they’ll just look like ants swarming on a field…
You missed the loudest stadium in the country Roker Park.
Roker park & the baseball ground, iconic football grounds.
Was a nice ground that, bit dilapidated when I went but still a good atmosphere.
Fer Ark.
If you know, you know. 😢
Why almost every Old Wembley Stadium pictures has the Brazilian flag?
Ajax had Olympic Stadium
Don't get me wrong these new modern stadiums are nice. But I still prefer the older stadiums. No better feeling than being in a huge tin shed 😂
the flare that Maine Road brought was the fact that by the end of it's course it was a shithole, but it was our shithole ahahaha
There are too many to restrict them down to mostly London, very poor
Wtf in 9:49 what is that guy doing💀
Its Maine Road, not Main Road.
san mames?
And also the stadium of Espanyol Club, which is the stadium of Saria
Airdrie f c Broomfield gone but great memories diamonds Davie Coatbridge
WHY ONLY ENGLAND 90% OF THE TIME

@@PieterPie2405 haha that was my joke, you fell for it
Arsenal might have been relegated...but in name only...because of WW1 that relegation was never implemented and thus they remained in the First Division.
but we never forget. there will always be an asterisk next to *arsenal's name that year
A 50.000 people capacity stadium in Zagreb was burned to the ground by local antifacists in 1941
One club that no more exists is rangers fc! 🧟♂️
