re: How does Death Valley compare to other stadiums globally?

Here are some iconic european stadiums for comparison, many of them used to have much higher capacities until FIFA regulations required "all seater" configurations, doing away with standing-room only sections.
Wembley Stadium, London
Capacity: 90,00
Camp Nou, Barcelona
Current Capacity: 99,000
Previously held as many as 115,000 before conversion to "all seater" style. Future renovation plans will bring capacity to 105,000.
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid
Capacity: 81,000
San Siro, Milan
Capacity: 80,000
This one is cool because it is shared by Milan's most prestigious clubs, bitter rivals Internaziale and AC.
Croke Park, Dublin
Capacity: 85,000
No idea how loud these venues are in person as I've sadly never been to any of them. But the architecture alone is worthy of comparison to our beloved Tiger Stadium.

I can't find the link but a few ago someone rated the most intimidating stadiums in the world and only 2 USA stadiums made the list. Tiger Stadium was ranked 3rd, Lambeau was ranked I think 9th.

I have seen Inter Milan play in the San Siro. It was a normal Serie A match against Udinese. Inter had won the Champions league the year before so they were really good. The atmosphere was similar to a LSU vs ULM game. I'm pretty sure if you go to a Champions League match or the darby against AC Milan it would be way better.

I hate soccer. Stadiums may be nice but they are nothing more than a waste on a communist sport.
