Gerrumonside ref Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I’ve been lucky to watch NFL, NBA basketball and MLB baseball games in America. I would rate them on a variety of factors and can compare them with U.K. stadiums because I’ve been to lots of them watching football, rugby league and cricket. I’m pretty jealous of anyone who has seen baseball in Japan and Korea though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I've been to baseball in Japan, not particularly memorable though. IPL game in India definitely a standout for me, as was being at a 70K+ crowd for a cricket match at the MCG. In RL, definitely agree with the old Aussie ovals - North Sydney, Leichardt, even Brookvale. Also the West Cumbrian grounds, although maybe that's more the journey along the A66 than anything else.

Shadow Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Croke Park is amazing I was fortunate enough to go to a game at the old Cardiff Arms Park, it was crumbling mess but it's one of the great RU stadiums of the world. I was in Perth WA eighteen months or so ago and had a spare afternoon and went to watch some equivalent of County level cricket at the old WACA, even though I'm not a Cricket fan as such it set the hairs on the back of my neck going.

moorside roughyed Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Love grounds like Headingley, Cougar Park, Whitehaven etc. Old grounds with history and atmosphere. I think some of these new ones ie- St Helens. Even spoke to some of their fans a few years back and they weren't keen on it. They seem a little sterile to me. I'd love to go to Castleford play Leeds at the Jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool Rover Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I would love to go to Levi’s stadium, the 49ers stadium, or Lambeau. In Europe I would like to go to the Amsterdam Arena or the Westfalenstadion. The old Sydney suburban grounds would be great to go to for a real Aussie RL experience.

If it's places you've watched RL at, I've done many of JohnM's list, but not all. I've also watched games at the following: The Athletic Grounds, Rochdale (the first game of RL I ever watched); Clarence Street & Huntington Stadium, York; Craven Park (old & new), Hull; Wembley (old & new); McCain Stadium, Scarborough; the Boulevard, Hull; Boothferry Park, Hull; the Recre, Whitehaven; McLaren Field, Bramley and others I've forgotten. Good memories, all of them. Rethymno Rugby League Appreciation Society Founder (and, so far, only) member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed a big stadium..may that was because there were very few of us Swinton fans there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing place is the Waca, got to see the last ashes test there (2017). Now the optus stadium will host it, not sure if it will work for atmosphere, certainly no MCG Caught by a feckin speed camera. try these I did and it saved me a heap o money and penalty points.
