Yokohama was the easiest choice, not that it is a bad venue

Standard design, no past history as a venue whether football or other sport. Didn't have the wow factor that Rose Bowl, Olympic Stadion, Maracana and co had.

Easy one for me.

It would be great if people could put a reason. I am interested in what attracts people to a stadium or what turns them off.

Yokohama.
SFS-chic roof + MCG-chic size - History to make up for it.

Although I was tempted to put Pasadena purely because it was in USA...

One thing that turns me off with stadiums is grandstands collapsing and people dying, so I voted Maracana.
