Where in your first answer does it say that you don't think the Olympics has a home in any one place?

Nowhere.

How?

[Sorry, i'm still overcoming the shock of you agreeing with me ]

The question was rigged. It doesn't have a home. That's your answer, and it was a legitimate one.

But when asked to where in your first answer did you do this, you said:

So?

Where is this going?

I'm waiting for you to make a connection with Wembly as "the home of football"

I also like this one very much: the Olympic Stadium in Munich. It has hosted the WC final, the Olympics, the EC final and several european finals as well as international athletics competitions.

The Olympic stadium looks nice, but as a football stadium, forget it. Since it's an athletics stadium, you're miles away from the game as a spectator, the picture shows that pretty good btw. The best one in Germany is certainly the "Arena auf Schalke", home of the football club Schalke 04.

Wembley, why they had to make a new one. Wembley is a legend.

Synonim for football in my country MARACANA in Brasil (tho I also like the smaller and newer stadium in Belgrade with the same nickname ).

Rome colloseum also and olympic stadium in Athens (the old one of course were first modern games are held) got my votes.

 

[Håkon]

Yeah, the old olympic stadium in Athens is great. I've actually ran a lap there...think I did it in two minutes or something.

Wembley must be up there of course.

Add San Siro and Olimpico in Italy for their atmosphere, and you have a pretty solid list.

 

[Mega Tsunami]

My very unbiased view is:
Old Trafford
Wembley New (I wish they would hurry up)
Wembley Old
Olympic Stadium Rome (because I was there for the1990 World Cup Final )

 

[Hayek]

Old Wembley! Its towers will be missed.

 

[Stapel]

Maracana
Nou Camp
Wembley
De Kuip
San Siro

I haven't seen Maracana, but did visit the other four .

Furthermore, could those Brits continue their discussion please?

 

[Pangur Bán]

Hampden Park Glasgow holds virtually all the European crowd records, so I'd put it slightly above the Nou Camp and San Siro, historically at least.

 

[JonathanValjean]

Historically speaking, the Colloseum of Rome--nothing else in the world at that time even compared.

 

[Inter4]

San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza Stadium
and Nou Camp.

I have been to both of them and I must say...WOW

also..
Bernabeu, Wembley...

Cool. It isn't the 150,000 capacity stadium it once was, but it is still a good stadium.

Why were you there BTW?
