We have a kit thread, so by rights stadium pornographers should have their day in the sun as well. Post awesome, weird, interesting, cool stadium things here. I'll kick things off with a few contributions:
Taken from the Champions League thread, here's Victoria Stadium in Gibraltar. The Gibraltar national team plays here, as well as all the clubs in the Gilbraltar Premier Division.
Estadio Municipal de Braga is the home of S.C. Braga of Portugal. Of late, Braga have emerged as the fourth wheel to Portugal's Big Three and have had some modest success in Europe. Their stadium, which was built for Euro 2004, was carved from a quarry and backs up to a huge stone cliff:
Going down the ranks a bit, we get to Claggan Park, home of Fort William F.C. A very simple ground as you might expect from a club in the Highland League (in Scotland's "non-league" 5th tier), but what a nice backdrop. And that's a good thing, Fort William have finished in the bottom three of the Highland League every season since 1994-95. The Highland League has produced some semi-notable Scottish clubs. In the mid-90s, the Scottish League expanded and accepted two clubs from this league: Ross County and a joint bid from Caledonian FC and Inverness Thistle, who merged. A couple decades later, both are in the Scottish Premiership.
I've always been a fan of Stadio Luigi Ferraris, home of both Genoa and Sampdoria. Nothing crazy, no insane backdrop - just quality. I love steep stands.
Mmabatho Stadium in South Africa. This one is just a WTF.
La Bombonera is a well-known classic, of course. If you like steep stands, you'll love this one.
