5 of the worst rugby stadiums in the world – Premiership, Six Nations & more
We’ve picked out five stadia from Britain and across the globe which have their issues.
Take a look, below, and let us know which rugby grounds you dislike and why…
1. AJ Bell Stadium
In five words or less: Archetypal 21st century ground
Most recent visit: 2019
Best feature: Good shop for merchandise
Worst feature: You pay £10 to park in a massive puddle in the mud before being penned in for almost an hour post match!
Quirk factor: 0/5
2. Stadio Olimpico
In five words or less: Standard ex-Olympic stadium.
Most recent visit: 2017
Best feature: Impressive venue, reasonable ticket prices
Worst feature: Unfortunately, a running track surrounds the pitch and this affects the atmosphere. The view is also somewhat compromised.
Quirk factor: 2/5
3. Scotstoun Stadium
In five words or less: Not another running track, FFS
Most recent visit: 2018
Best feature: The supporters are great craic.
Worst feature: Old stadium with limited facilities. Again, the view is somewhat ruined by the design of the stadium.
Quirk factor: 1/5
4. Ricoh Arena
In five words or less: A depressing experience
Most recent visit: 2019
Best feature: Proximity to motorway. Wasps also do their best to make it an enjoyable matchday experience using the stadium’s extensive facilities.
Worst feature: Often-soulless atmosphere in a virtually empty stadium - the move to Coventry just hasn't worked out, and it's hard not to feel for Wasps fans in that situation.
Quirk factor: 1/5
5. ANZ stadium
In five words or less: At least it looks pretty
Most recent visit: 2016
Best feature: The only time ANZ is any good is when there's more than 60,000 people there.
Worst feature: That hardly ever happens. It's a soulless, empty cave with expensive food that isn't even that good and pricey parking.
Quirk factor: 3/5
