10 Best Stadiums In UK According To Atmosphere
3. Elland Road (Leeds United)
Elland Road has been the home of Leeds United F.C. since the club’s foundation in 1919. Elland Road has four stands – the Revie Stand, the East Stand, the South Stand and the John Charles Stand– and a capacity of 37,890.
Now playing host to matches in the Premier League, Sir Alex Ferguson once called it “the most intimidating venue in Europe”. Despite abortive plans to move in 2001, the club remains at the ground where it won the league in 1969, 1974, and 1992. What’s most important about Elland Road, though, is the place it retains in the life of the city, and the hearts of the locals.
2. St.James Park (Newcastle United)
St James’ Park has been the home ground of Newcastle United since 1892 and has been used for football since 1880. With a seating capacity of 52,405 it is the seventh-largest football stadium in England.
As well as the normal Premiership football stadium facilities, the stadium contains conference and banqueting facilities. These comprise a total of 6 suites with a total capacity of 2,050, including the 1,000 capacity Bamburgh Suite containing a stage, dance floor and 3 bars, and the New Magpie Room, on two levels with a pitch view.
The atmosphere on a matchday is arguably the best in Premier League and it is an experience every football fan should enjoy at least once.
1. Celtic Park (Celtic FC)
Celtic Park is the home ground of the Celtic Football Club. It is an all-seater stadium with a capacity of 60,411, the largest football stadium in Scotland, and the sixth-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom.
The Jock Stein stand is named after the ex-manager who once said that “football without fans is nothing”. The Lisbon Lions stand commemorates the club’s greatest moment when in 1967 they became the first British team to win the European Cup—and with a side all born within 30 miles of Celtic Park. But the club is probably best known for its enthusiastic fan base all over the world.
Football stars like Messi, Xavi, Ronaldo, Puyol, Gerrard, Ibrahimovic and many others have rated Celtic Park’s atmosphere as one of the best.
Celtic park rightly voted the stadium with the best atmosphere in Britain. Hail Hail.
Absolutely Celtic park deserves it nothing like it but Portsmouth fans are some of best I’ve seen for getting behind their team as well as good natured >unbiased
Definitely!!…Celtic Park is, without doubt, the best – although some very worthy mentions in the list as well…still, Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Xavi, Ferguson, Wenger etc can’t be wrong – Celtic Park is unrivalled!! (and, specifically for any Bears who drop on this page – Get it right roon yees ya name…Mon the Hoops!!
Only jealousy will have anyone say otherwise,
What a load of shite atmosphere at ibrox beats anywhere hands down
I live in Liverpool but Ibrox home of Glasgow rangers is the best atmosphere I’ve ever seen and heard , Celtic with Liverpool next , but Ibrox was incredible
Ibrox stadium is without doubt the best atmosphere in Britain. Constant backing the team throughout, every 50-50 ball won euphoria, a throw in cheered like a goal nothing comes close.Celtic park is loud first 10 minutes with YNWA, opposition scores it’s then a library atmosphere. Ibrox atmosphere is constant. Rangers fans also had full houses in Division 3 whereas Celtic had to cover the top tier of there stadium seats with tarpaulin with no Rangers in the league as their fans weren’t interested. If you look at top attendances for every club in Scotland you will find 90% of them are Vs Rangers. Really is no comparison.
Ibrox stadium the home of Glasgow Rangers is on another level in terms of atmosphere, especially on a European night. Celtic Park has a good atmosphere, but lt just hasn’t reached it’s heights of the 90’s. Whereas its counterparts Rangers at lbrox has just spurred its team to the Europa League final. Four four two, just put lbrox as the number one venue for atmosphere. This analysis must have been conducted by a Celtic fan.
Fans of their own team will obviously say their atmosphere is the best. I’ll go with messi, iniesta, Maldivian, stones, Ferdinand, ibrahimovich, Wilkins, Dallas, etc etc and say that when Celtic park is good it’s loud but when it’s at its best it’s unbeatable
Ibrox in 7th place!? Are you having a laugh Easily the best atmosphere in Britain and up there if not the best in Europe. This list has no credibility. Crystal Palace have a better atmosphere than Leeds
dont see how bradford city are in this list there stadium is retro
Celtic Park is the best in Europe not just the UK
