Which stadium do you prefer?

[magic weeds 446]

Just a little turn away from the Transfer talks and whether Carlo should be given another season or not.

As we all know, one day it might dawn on us that we are moving away from stamford bridge, so I was going through pictures and capacities of different stadiums in Europe and the rest of the world. Just wanted to know which stadium you wish would ressemble our new home.!!!

Personally, I find the architecture of Estadio da Luz (BENFICA) to be so appealing. with a 65 647 capacity, thats probably the best out there.

The 2nd one I think is Alliance Arena (Bayern) with a capacity of 69 901.

What do you Chelsea fans think?

English stadiums should be close to the pitch, Olympic style stadiums have no personality.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Spot on Term!

The English style is the best! You get a real sense of atmosphere and closeness to your team when you're right near the pitch like we have now!

Like this one but bigger

I know what you mean Term and LDN, but do you think there is a chance of getting the traditional English stadiums? even Wembley is gone away from the normal traditional stadium. and IMO, those straight up English stadiums are the 192x built. I even doubt constructors will be licking their lips to the prospect of building those stadiums. Dont get me wrong, I would love if we moved to a same old English stadium architecture but its never gonna happen. just my opinion

Absolutely. Too commercial for my taste. The Bridge is perfect as it is.

[Shane 2,275]

Tbf, The Allianz is a gorgeous stadium.

I don't like new stadiums but IF we did move then it should be a bespoke design which is totally unique to Chelsea.

Not like the emirates which is a smaller/crapper version of Benficas ground.

[Waterfall 893]

Not sure how many of you follow baseball, but I really like what the Yankees did with their new stadium - using the same design as the old one but with new technology. I am not for designs like Allianz Arena that might go out of style very quick. New SB will have to get much bigger in size though.

Bingo. A retractable roof would be nice though. And a better pitch, the current one isn't good enough for a club that aspires to play sleek football.

People can say what they like about the Bridge but every single Chelsea fan with utmost confidence can call it the home of their team.

Can Arsenal do the same with the Emirates?

One location, One name, One stadium, One postcode = Chelsea FC and thats the way i want it to stay.

It must be embarrasing seeing empty seats when they play the likes of Us and United.

Don't forget Chelsea FC were created for STAMFORD BRIDGE not the other way round.

It would be devastating to see Stamford Bridge sold and demolished.

Completely agree.

just hit on this thread now and was gonna put that fact out to folks myself.

plus theres the Chelsea Pitch Owners who own the pitch and turnstiles at the bridge, the CPO also owns the name Chelsea Football Club Ltd, which is licenced back to the club on the condition that the team play their home matches at Stamford Bridge. if Roman wanted to move Chelsea to another stadium in the future, the club would not be able to use the name Chelsea Football Club without permission from 75% of CPO shareholders .

[kwylino 329]

Lets see. The ideal stadium should be Around a post code with SW6 1HS on the fulham road which is home to a lovely team that plays in blue.

it would be a crime to move us from stamford bridge theres just no place we could rather be Its our heart And soul the place where the ghost of ossie is and Always will be and its where we should always be
