Bowl stadiums were the original flat pack stadiums.

discuss?

I think, as evidenced above, the nature of the bowl was still that everyone got a decent view, albeit sweeping.

The gradient at lambeau is still substantial enough that sight lines are good. Unlike the Australian model - VFL Park, Footy Park. It took Australians a while to realise this and only with the recent redevelopment of the SCG was it recognised that ground level seating need not be flat.

VFL Park wasn't that bad. You have to remember it was only half built.

But then again I am very biased.

I guess in the sense that it was the design de jour for a period. I don't mind the flat packs. They have roofs.

So what was good about VFL Park?

I could get there in less than 30 mins.

Now with Eastlink I could do it in 5.

You'd think with the amount of money they spent on that joint, they could have removed the paint brush from the gutter in the bottom left hand corner.

My first post on austadiums...
The most beautiful stadiums I've visited are:
1. Highbury (Arsenal FC) - classic 1930s art deco stadium, beautiful outside and inside, sadly lost to football in 2006.
2. San Siro (Milan & Inter) - very impressive, especially at night.
3. Wembley (before redevelopment) - stirred the emotions on every visit, from a pre-season tournament to the FA Cup Final.
4. Ibrox (Rangers FC) - if only for the main stand.
5. MCG - a truly breathtaking world-class stadium.

Most disappointing:
Old Trafford (Manchester United FC) - most uncomfortable ground to watch football, no wonder United supporters stand up.
and
Camp Nou (Barcelona FC) - impressive on the inside but none of the impact of the San Siro.
