Of course as an Ole Miss fan you think the Grove is the best
Have you experienced the Grove or a Saturday Night in Baton Rouge? Even as an Ole Miss fan Tiger Stadium on a Saturday is pretty special.

No my friends bailed on our trip to BR and lots of people say the Grove is over rated.
Morgantown at night is one of the best places to be in college football. But im not on here using it as the ultimate measuring stick
A premier league night game is absolutely mental.
They are just different, one you have drunk sorority ho's falling over the place and the other you have lads throwing beer all over the place singing songs.
The average european match day is better than the avg american sports experience. Especially if you sit with the Ultras. Its like the student section on steroids.
You were also in Italy were most the matches are not even close to full.

IDK if the Grove is "overrated" but I can definitely see why it doesn't appeal to non-Ole Miss people. The whole point of the Grove is to get too drunk and socialize/run into people you know, if you aren't irregularly outgoing or don't know anyone that would normally be in the Grove then it probably sucks.
I assume that no American college football gameday experience (I've been to nearly every SEC town on gameday) can compare to big time European soccer, never been to Europe though.
ETA:
This is exactly what I was thinking but couldn't come up with in words, seems to perfectly sum up the real difference between the two.
I'll give BR and Tiger Stadium some credit in terms of hostility though, had some 40 year old dudes try to fight a friend and I in a luxury box over literally nothing during the Ole Miss game last year.

Meh, there's just as many fans at the matches just in larger stadiums and the atmosphere can be a lot more "lively" than English matches.
Cagliari is probably an exception, depending on what years. I've been to a lot of matches there as I used to live in Cagliari during summers and the stadium is about a 10 minute walk from some amazing beaches but had large sections closed off for about a decade.

Thats why I cant wait till the bigger Italian clubs get smaller grounds like Juve did.

My first match EVER was in Verona, June 1984,we climbed the fence to get in. Moved around the Bentegodi the entire time so as not to get caught. This was before the World Cup expansion, it was packed and all the supporters were absolutely mental.

Some of the new German Stadiums were built outside the city:
Allianz Arena - Bayern Munich
Veltins Arena - Schalke
Allianz Arena - Bayern Munich

The old Bayern ground wasn't in the city really either.
Hoff is on the autobahn
they also don't have a home city per say but draw alot of their fans from Manhiem and Heidelberg. The village near the ground has less than 4k people.

HSV is nowhere near the city. You have to take rail and from the stop it is about 15 min walk to the stadium. There is nothing around there.

I drove past the Allianz last year. That place is beautiful

lack of tailgating areas

I will take your word on the latter, but your representation of Saturday night in Tiger Stadium is not even close.

Straight Cash, your stadium picture "I miss you" is super cool. Where is that?

reminder of how close Goodison and Anfield are
I love that... Before I was aware, I just assumed they were on opposite ends of town... a town divided.. but it really is interspersed throughout the city...
I have the United Center in my new neighborhood! Go Hawks!

One thing I love about England soccer stadiums. A lot of them seem to be in neighborhoods.
The GB Packers' Lambeau Field is kinda like this. I say kinda because it is huge, but it is smack in the middle of single-family homes.
