10. Ibrox Stadium




I guarantee you that this list was put together by a bunch of Masons.

The criteria of how this group chose the top 100 is below, and at the HIGH risk of being flamed, I do not see the superdome deserving the top 100 based on this..sorry...


In order to determine which sporting venues are the cream of the crop, we developed a three-category system and awarded each a number from one to 10, with 10 being the best.

The first category is architecture/ambiance/aesthetics. It critiques what every stadium brings to the table structurally. Older grounds may have outdated architecture, but they make up for that with an environment that makes watching the sport even better.

The second category, "History," is an aggregate score of the historical importance of the team, the games played at the stadium, and the venue itself. Some of the stadiums on the list are quite new, which brought down their scores. Don't worry Yankees fans, your new stadium will score highly in this category soon.
,

The final category is "passion." How much do the fans care about the team who plays there? The roar of the crowd can do more for a stadium than almost anything (except for maybe cheep beer).

I went to a game at Kyle Field last football season, no way it should be ranked ahead of Tiger Stadium!!!

2 and 3 the Dome is off the charts, but I agree the Dome was not pleasing to the eye, but that is gonna change. Wait till people see the new renovated Dome !

IF that is the criteria then the people making the list have never been to the Dome during game time. Criteria # 2- how many championship games they need. Criteria #3 passion, PLEASE! I guess they weren't there for the playoff games when it was deafening in there, or any of the bowl games in there, or at least when LSU won the 2003 -2007 BCSCG.
The people who made this list up seem to be a lot of women, you know nostalgia, charm, looks, asthetic qualities. What has that shite got to do with Sports.

The biggest tragedy is how little money LSU has put into the Box and Tiger Stadium. Why Alex Box did not open up with at least another 6,000 seats has always been a mystery to me. Don't ticket sales add to revenue??? And why TS still has not completely renovated TS and closed in the end zone is crazy. LSU has a product in demand and keeps lagging behind meeting the demand.

The Superdome was left out because tulane plays there therefore lowering its status.

Not a bad list, but whoever rated Kyle Field ahead of Tiger Stadium is absolutely stupid. Kyle Field is ok for silly little aggies, but it cannot, on the world stage, even begin to pick the peanuts out of Tiger Stadium's shite.
