Great little Spanish soccer stadiums.

Check out these small soccer stadium's in Spain. I would love for FC Tampa Bay to play in something like these.

Pontevedra C.F.'s, Estadio de Pasaron. Capacity 12K

Nice finds!  I like the first one better but would be happy to have something for a stadium, as opposed to nothing like right now.

Thanks. The exterior of the second stadium,Neuva Balastera,looks great at night. I would take either stadium though.

It looks to me like the seating in the first one, keeps you right on top of the action.  Also has options for different suites & price levels.  Even a horseshoe version of this would be good for the Rowdies.

Those are IDEAL, but I think we would need something a bit simpler.  Some of these small English stadiums are what I imagine us playing it.  Much simpler and small, but very intimate and practical and probably very cheap to build.

All look great, The paradigm shift will be getting Americans to accept that they are right on the sidelines and not 50' away. Also, as you know, they get misting rain in Europe, nothing like what we get.  The roofs for British fields will keep the sun off of us but most likely not the rain unless the are slanted forward to a drain system.  Since baseball has been able to build "throwback" fields the last few years (Baltimore, OKC, Durham) I hope whoever builds the field for the new Tampa pitch will have the courage to do something like Gillingham et al.  Oh and the wife wants me to thank you Colin for introducing me to football grounds guide, there is another day wasted surfing the interweb.;)

yeah we'd need some excellent roofs here in Florida to keep fans dry or mostly dry, but other than that I'd love to have any of these.

Some of those English stands would need the seated capacity to be alot  higher, but that's just a matter of scale I think?

would we need a stadium with a capacity over 7-10K?
Permalink Reply by Charles Cole on November 7, 2011 at 4:44pm
Well alot of them seem to have seats for only like 2 to 3k and some kind of terrace for more fans.  Unless I'm misunderstanding the layouts.  We'd just need all seats, is all.

Oh yeah, of course.  I see.  7-10k is great as long as it's an all seater.  I think it would be great to have a stadium like that.  There could even offices there the team can use as their own and incorporate the offices into the perimeter of the field or something.
