Re: Name the famous sports stadium/ground
Think we’ll draw a line under #187, as no takers.
It was Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee - one of those massive 100k+ capacity university/college stadia.

Re: Name the famous sports stadium/ground
My thoughts exactly. It’s got to be lower leagues or possibly a former FL ground. If it turns out to be a ground I’ve visited then I’ll be shocked to not recognise it.YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 9:52 am Got me stumped has this one but I feel like I should know it

Re: Name the famous sports stadium/ground
I’d no sooner posted about not recognising the ground when I had another look and the stand, if you can call it that, behind the far goal gave it away. That’s the away end

Re: Name the famous sports stadium/ground
When you talk about your love of the game, you cannot help but have an affinity with the "old" grounds of the leagues... that is a lovely looking pitch and everyone close to the action...

The yellow/red/black seating made it a bit easy
I recall on my visits there, which would have been in the 80’s/early 90’s you had to walk on a path through a load of allotments (where the what looks like a giant sand pit is in the aerial shot) to get to the away end /corner.
