I'm a big fan of stadium design. Here is Roma's proposed new home. i love the idea of a hydraulic lift to enable the players to enter the arena gladiator style.

Anyone remember the old "guess which stadium this is from the aerial photograph" game someone - Alf? - used to run on A-M?
That was fun.
Any favourite stadia from Brazil? I must admit I'm not that fussed by the look of the Maracana. It just looks too shallow and wide. I prefer the one in Brasilia - everyone looks close to the ground and the stands are relatively steep, which provides a better, more raucous atmosphere.
