I'm just here to talk about the venue. ...And what a venue it is. Okay I can see all the die-hards coming back. Yes it's the most amazing stadium ever and etc. They have fire and smoke and guitars and bass during the intros. So obviously. And apparently that happens when they score (not that I would know since it's an ever-elusive occurrence during my visits). It's just me, because I had to get used to an event that's more like a 2-act musical with Intermission. Good luck using the toilet in that 15 minutes, especially if you're trying to grab a drink and a bite while you're out there. I thought "surely I'm in the women's line" but no, we're all out here in line because nobody could live with themselves if they missed the only score of the night while in the loo. Enough of that. The staff are "helpful" as they help you not sit in the wrong seat. This is good because so many people think they're the only smart ones trying to sit down close in *not their seat. This is Britain, people, have some decorum and queue for your proper seat. The match was spectacular. I love nill-zed events. The pitch was immaculate. Don't you think of putting one toe on that perfect turf. The hometown boys were raucous. There can't be too much singing. The away fans were spunky. They also love not seeing their team score. But a fun time will be had by all. Secret tip: leave 2 mins before stoppage time and beat the maddening crowds back to the tube for a happy night back home. Or stay out till all hours celebrating. One day you'll win it all (maybe even this year).

Super MILLWALL from the Den…read more Had a fantastic time. Going into this I always heard about MILLWALL being one of the grittiest teams in England and having I famous fans. Although not as crazy as I would've imagined, the fans are chanting the whole match, and the atmosphere is great. Stadium isn't as nice as others in the area but there is a distinct local and close-knit feel about the club which is quite nice PRO TIP: Go to box 19 for an authentic MILLWALL experience

A lot of people liked Dirty Den, but not many people would want to see The Nude Den, so I'm not…read moresure why Millwall decided to go there permanently. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've watched one match at the New Den, in 2011 - it was half full which was a shock, and might be the reason why it only gets 4 stars. I'd heard about the rabid, evil Millwall fans, and seen them so many times away from home, and once in their old stadium as a younger lad. Not the case on the day I was here, but then the opponent was a lowly and unexciting adversary. It's a good stadium though, not as expensive as some of the others in London, by a long shot. I enjoyed my day, I was covered from the rain by the stands, I didn't get stabbed (people used to say that's what happened at Millwall games), and altogether I found it a lot more pleasant and also underwhelming than expected. I'll try it again for a much bigger game, one of these days... to see what the fuss is really about. So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** They're one of my least fave teams, and even though this stadium was used in Dream Team as the home of Harchester United, it's still not anything special to me with open-ended sides and such. It creates an intimidating atmosphere of course. It was built in 92 for 16 mil, and is the pride of South East London, with a capacity of around 20k. As you can see from the pictures, it's absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere is intense, but it would be better if it filled in the corners.

I was here in the 00s twice and then again in 2014 to see a home game, which Barnet won handily. I have pictures of it somewhere. 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 *** The stadium of Barnet needs work, but it's got soul and it's got history and it's got a cool name and it has its own website, so it's already on the right track. It's inside Canons Park. I'm going to give it a 5 like the team that plays here. This stadium opened in July 2013, it's about as state-of-the-art as you can get for a non league team. The Hive has a capacity of 5,100 and is in North London.

The Falmer Stadium, known as The Amex Stadium for sponsorship reasons and full name, American…read moreExpress Community Stadium is home to Brighton and Hove Albion, a fairly new stadium it opened in 2011 with a capacity of just over 30,000. It is located in Falmer, East Sussex around 10-15 minutes to Brighton on the train, one thing I like is that the club actually fund the travel to the stadium via public transport in the area, which makes it easy and cheap to get to the game, which I've never seen the likes of before. The village of Falmer doesn't really have much, but if you head back into Brighton (for free) after the game, its a lovely seaside city with plenty of bars, restaurants and hotels and pleasantly surprised me along with the stadium. I made the long journey for the last game of the season to watch my Manchester City play here against Brighton. A 4-1 win here saw my team retain the Premier League trophy, in a day that will live with me for the rest of my life at this stadium which will forever hold a place in my heart and memory, for we lifted the trophy here. The stadium from the outside is much larger than one would expect from a 30,000 stadium, with staircases and ramps everywhere (slightly confusing to get to seats), it in times feels like a blue Wembley on the south coast with the mini arches. The stadium staff seemed really friendly and helpful, they also put on a great show for City as we basically took over to lift the trophy, playing typical songs like She's Electric (Ederson), Blue Moon and Glad All Over (Guardiola). The concourse area seemed a little basic and far from as modern as the rest of the stadium. I liked the small executive seating over the away fans, in a good location behind the goal with an average vew - That meant I had legends Paul Dickov and Fernandinho sat right above me! The stadium being quite close to the player enterance means it is pretty easy to meet the players or legends after the game, I was lucky enough to meet Paul Dickov, and I know of someone who also met Yaya Toure - another thing about the ground I really like. They also had two large screens behind each goal, and electronic LED advertising boards which also can be used to broadcast messages, my favourite being 'Congratulations 2018/19 Champions' for my team. A great stadium with caring staff, which makes it feel like a family club rather than an elite Premier League stadium at times, cool stadium and great away day. Despite the long journey from Manchester (3 trains), it is one of the easiest and cheapest places to get to after getting in the Brighton and Hove area 4*

I decided to buy the tickets as an early birthday gift to him. I'm not a sports fan whatsoever, but had such a fun experience due to the electric atmosphere of the crowd chanting and singing for their teams. The stand overhang covered the seats so would provide shelter in inclement weather. I really liked that feature given that I am finicky about the weather. The concession stand on the other hand left a lot to be desired. They were out of hot dogs so I had to settle for their unappealing beef pie and sausage roll. I could not finish the sausage roll, it was that bad. My hubby managed to finish the beef pie only because he was starving. Helpful Tip: Beers are not allowed or sold in the seats. You must buy and drink them in the concourse.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've actually only ben to this stadium 3 times (or about 10 if you count visiting the outside of it). It's absolutely tiny inside! You'd never imagine it's a Premier League stadium. It is pretty modern and enjoyable on the inside though. The rich owners have jazzed it up and made it like a posh little box. The crowd is absolutely intense and right on top of the field and I always feel like part of the action when I'm in here. Definitely one of the better stadiums, but the prices and the small size are the reason it's a 4.

I can't give this stadium less than a 4 because it's so loud and intense and the crowd are right on top of the players, but there's no way such a tiny stadium can get a 5 for a club that should really have a bigger and grander stadium. It looks like they won't be in the Prem much longer anyway (they never usually are), but if the club won't be missed (too many London clubs, esp West London), then the stadium will and its atmosphere too. It's in White City, a great part of London that is maybe a little racially monotonous. It's just near Shepherd's Bush. I think maybe he should shave it off. It opened in 1904, and Fulham briefly played here in the 00s.

In the spring of 2002, when I was doing a semester abroad in London, I did a work study (internship) at QPR. At the time, they were in the Second Division (third tier).

Now that they're back in the top flight, I had a perfect excuse to head back over the pond for a visit and to take in a Premiership match. Loftus Road Stadium is definitely a throw-back to the more modest days of the sport. Compared to Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium (review here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-emirates-stadium-london#hrid:nvZxRYSY_mKiQndnHx2iQw), Loftus Road is like a backyard shed. It's old, not at all modern, and for a Premier League ground, quite small. But it also has immense character, is very intimate, and incredibly approachable. One of the great things about the smaller clubs is how accessible the players are as well. If you get to Loftus Road early you can catch many of the players walking from the player parking lot into the stadium, and most of them are happy to stop to sign an autograph or snap a quick photo with you. Try doing that at Manchester United or Chelsea! QPR is a fantastic little club with an incredible history. Hopefully they'll be in the top flight for years to come. Which means I better start saving up now for what I hope can be an annual pilgrimage.
