Would most agree that MK is the best? Or am I just being biased because it was great fun when we went en masse?
Thought Location, amenities and the Stadium itself was/is nice in comparison to most of the other awful places I've been too. |  |

I didn't want to like the MK Dons stadium & years before had sworn that I'd never set foot in it out of disgust for the franchise like transaction that allowed them to take over Wimbledon's league spot ... but I really enjoyed it there & it turned out to be a highlight of our time in L1.
So there you go, it turns out that (a) you can actually have a great night in a soulless stadium & (b) I have no principles; who knew!
Also, as an aside, Wimbledon's new home is a lovely stadium too & I'm delighted for them to have it after all the shenanigans that created the MK Dons 'project'. |  |

Did you go to the game when we played them at the Hockey Stadium back in 2004? Now that really was a dump, felt like a non-league game. |
Remember that well I think 3 of us were 50 year old ball boy's on the side with no stand. |  | | |

It was a terrible stadium, largely because it had the dreaded running track around the pitch, which meant you were miles from the game, especially at the ends & poor sight lines. Basically, a dilapidated version of the Olympic Stadium, redeemed only by the twin towers (which couldn't realistically have been saved or incorporated into the new design). |
But a lot of people do have rather rose tinted memories of it. Ok, a lot of great events happened there but it should’ve been demolished a lot sooner.
And I know it’s fashionable to bang on about soulless bowls but to me comments like that are that are strange. New stadiums take time to capture memories - old dumps remain old dumps. |  | | |

One that gets a lot of flak on here is the Madejski at Reading. I hate the journey back to town if you haven't driven because by the time I get from the away end to the shuttle buses, they've all gone so you face a 40 minute wait or a 45 minute walk along central reservations of dual carriageways to get back to town. And, like most out of town stadia, the food & drink options are limited to plastic fast food joints.
But - the seating, viewing & concourses are all very good. This issue with the so-called "soulless bowls" is usually their location, not their structure. |  |

I quite like Hull - it's walkable from the city centre |  | | |

West Ham really do have the cr*ppiest stadium imaginable. Lot's of lessons there in terms of owners putting club revenues before fans' wishes. |
Although Spurs going down would be hilarious, I’d rather be going their next season than another visit to the London Stadium. It just isn’t a football stadium. | | | |
