Football stadium tours

[broadstone fox]

Anyone done many of these or has any favourites they like

[StanSP]

Done quite a few 

 

King Power

San Siro

Camp Nou 

Wanda Metropolitano

Bernabeu

Anfield

Old Trafford

Amsterdam Arena

De Kuip 

Estadio Da Luz (Benfica) 

 

Of those above, probably Benfica or Bernabeu was the best. 

 

Old Trafford was great for the history though. The stadium itself is dogshit. Same as Feyenoord's. 

[Dr Marco]

done Wembley and Twickenham

[Chiltern Fox]

I've done nou camp, bernabeu and millennium. Only one which was decent was nou camp.

[Leicesterpool]

Interestingly yet to do the King Power, probably will this year.

 

I've done a few so far

 

Villa Park: Very enjoyable so well detailed and quite a lengthy one a good two hours, staff very friendly.

 

Amsterdam Arena: Impressive stadium, but tour a tad disappointed, thought it was very restrictive. Got to see the dugouts, home dressing room, press conference and museum which was good but I don't know expected a little more from a club of that size.. Tour was done in like 40 minutes.

  

Stamford Bridge: Very entertaining, staff friendly and told some great stories. Apparently in changing rooms I was sitting on John Terry's fave seat without knowing. A lot of good fact's and interest. A good 90 minute tour.

 

 

....should have done Ibrox... but on the day overslept and missed it, was staying in Edinburgh and should have got an early morning train from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Tour started at 10am... train was about 8am... my hotel was on the outskirts of Edinburgh so needed to be up for 6.30am... what happens never heard alarm and woke up at 8am. Screwed it! rang club up to see if I could swap on the later tour, sadly that was the only tour of the day.

Estadio Da Luz (Benfica) was fantastic. The museum there is incredible!

[Izzy]

Did the Nou Camp tour in the early 90's.

 

It was the same day that they had some religious festival going on in the stadium with about 10,000 kids in the stands and a sort of nativity play going on in the center circle.

 

Most bizarre.

[CWC1983]

Something different,  I heard the people that runs it on Radio Scotland and they came across really well. 

 

Definitely one for the historian buffs / nerds amongst us. 

[Blueman1967]

Done the Nou Camp, and the old Leicester City with the school, John Curtis doing the tour, and l seen Jock Wallace.

Did the Barca one many many years ago and had Ronaldinho walk by me on his way back from training.

I did nou camp on the day Ronaldinho signed.  Helicopter landed near ground and tour guide assured us it was ronaldinho......he could have just been sexing up his tour though 😂.  

 

Good tour .  Allowed in the stands, dugouts.  Museum was good.  Unhurried.  

 

Then to top off the day.... i got arrested on the metro.  Someone snatched my wallet so i gave chase and put in a rugby tackle martin Johnson would have been proud of.  Unfortunately for me the Spanish police only saw the part where an English man attacked a Spanish youth and after about 6 hours of detention they eventually accepted my version of events ......true story!
