My friend Drew won't stand up. I'm like, stand drew, stand! But he won't. This stadium was named…read moreafter what I want him to do. Stand, drew! First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I was shocked when I came to St. Andrews for the first time in 2011. It's amazing! I was in the middle of a tour and had just played a really exciting concert in central Birmingham, and then I came here and it really put the cherry on a great day. What a fantastic, intense, perfectly situated stadium. Intense fans and a really great layout and nice updated facilities. A total palace for BCFC. I think it's a much more welcoming and homey place than Villa Park, and better even than Hawthorns. It's not far behind Molineux. The stewards here are really lovely too for that matter. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It's one of the best stadiums in England actually, which is weird because I don't really like the team that plays here much but I gave them a good rating as well. There are so many glowing reviews of this stadium but they're incorrectly listed under the football club, hopefully Yelp will move them over here at some point soon. Opened in 1906, it hosts 30k rabid fans in England's second biggest city. By the way, go get a Chicken Madras at Akbar's and a Mixed Kebab at Lahore on Ladypool Rd. 2 best things in Brum imo. The old St Andrews was pretty typical (like Villa Park is), there's just one side of the stadium that needs to be properly modernized and made to look like the rest, and then I think it'll increase to a 5 star stadium, but I'm going to give it 5 anyway. It's steep and it's loud and it's awesome, and right in the heart of Birmingham, and gets full marks from me.

If Kathy Bates was into balls (and she probably was) then this might be called the Batesballs…read moreGround, but thankfully it's not, so we can move on. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I was a travelling Oxford fan back in the days when both Derby and Oxford were a big deal, and intrinsically linked. I had a great time here and always loved coming up to Derby, but I have to be honest... it was a stadium that needed replacing. Or massive renovations. And the new one (Pride Park) is just so fantastic and impressive that I am not surprised they tore this one down. But I will always remember coming here in the 90s, and all the great teams and games that happened here, including a couple that I saw live in person. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans).

Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It was demolished just a few years ago, after being the stadium of the great club Derby County (and the home of the champions in Brian "Brain" Clough's days) from 1889 until 2003. Over a hundred years of history, now vanished. In all honesty, even with its 42k standing capacity, and especially with its 18k final capacity, it was never the best stadium in the league, in fact it was one of my least faves. But for all the great memories and for the fact that it's now consigned only to memories, I'll give it a solid 3. Speaking of solid, check this out. (Pulls down pants).

Weed is grown in what kind of field? A High Field. Duh…read more First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I was lucky enough to be brought here as a kid by my older friend David, to watch Coventry v Oxford. Little did I know the stadium would be knocked down. I'm not sure exactly which year it was, but sometime in the 90s when I came here. Within 10 years it had been destroyed. Definitely a great memory and a loud crowd and a lovely little trip up from Oxford (only an hour by road). However I was very disappointed with some of the facilities, and while it scores a 4 for the large intense crowds and fun memories, it was not a comfortable nor safe stadium and I'm not surprised it was obliterated.

Some of the sides weren't filled in but it was still one of the better ones. Unfortunately, it has now been demolished and replaced with a generic stadium that doesn't really have the same atmosphere, is too expensive, etc. It hosted 23k and was shut down in 2005 and was one of the better away grounds for us travelling fans to go to.

So when I was setting up my tour, obviously I played Leeds on Monday, Bradford on Tuesday, and…read more.. duh... Sheffield Wednesday. A She-Field is basically a female version of a He-Field, and it's way better in every way than a He-Field. So now you know. Bell Biv Devoe. First-Hand Experience: I'm lucky enough to have seen Sheffield Wednesday live on 6 or 7 occasions, including in the very old days down in Oxford, and of course at their home stadium more recently. Which was very sad for me. This team is a brilliant team that is a giant of the English game. I have to separate them from their stadium which was a death trap and a heartbreaking place for any Liverpool fan. They were formed in 1867 and so are one of the oldest teams in the world. They're currently in the second tier but are a fallen giant, along with Sheffield United, and belong back in the big time as soon as possible. They were originally a cricket club which is kind of boring. The club played only on Wednesdays, hence the name of the team now. They play in boring blue and white. The Arctic Monkeys, Gary Cahill, Paul Carrack, Jarvis Cocker, Michael Palin, Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and Def Leppard all supposedly support the Owls. Yes they're nicknamed the Owls, how adorable. They have won the Premier League 4 times, in 1903, 1904, 1929 and 1930, so some really amazing pedigree there. They won the League Cup as recently as 1991 when they were still a top team, and they won the FA Cup in 1896, 1907 and 1935, so their trophy cabinet is definitely full and impressive. They've spent 66 seasons in the top division, but not since the year 2000, so hopefully they'll be back soon. The reviews here that are for the stadium need to be moved to the new stadium listing. They once beat Geri Halliwell 12-0. I'd rather join her than beat her. Chris Waddle, Des Walker, Marc Degryse, Paolo Di Canio, David Hirst, were a few of the legends here. Sheridan, Harkes, Wegerle too. Americans before Americans were cool. Just don't ever go and watch them on a Tuesday or a Thursday. It'll end badly.
