Stadiums most similar to ours?

[Phil'ieve]

Anyone ever seen a stadium that looks really similar to/reminds you of Ibrox? I don't have any suggestions I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed any random thought that came in to my head.

 

[Est1872]

Westfalenstadion is the obvious one

 

[justice]

remember going to Sampdorias stadium for Italia 90 and thinking it was really similar to Ibrox.

Stadio Luigi Ferraris

Very similar IMO and the outside is also orange.

 

[GeeSpot]

Parken in Copenhagen if the seats were blue.

Good shout

 

[Phil'ieve]

Parken in Copenhagen if the seats were blue.

Another decent shout

 

[GazzaG]

The stadium itself is not similar at all, but the first time I saw the Warehouse at Camden Yards in Baltimore it instantly made me think of Ibrox.

We beat the filth 2-0 that day.

 

[robbo89]

It doesn't look that similar overall but parts of Villa Park have that similar old red-brick style to our main stand.

 

[nasalsinatra]

Villa Park.

 

[MartinS93]

Goodison and Villa Park. Must've had the same architect.

 

[Bearskin]

I always think the front Main/Struth Stand is very similar to Buckingham Palace and can't help thinking it was deliberate.

 

[Rab_bear]

Goodish and Villa Park. Must've had the same architect.

They did, Archibald Leitch. Great film about him on RTV

 

[Bearskin]

Parken in Copenhagen if the seats were blue.

The front tier seating could be moved around to suit different events and capacities and remember from being there in '91

 

[Bearskin]

Goodish and Villa Park. Must've had the same architect.

Roker Park also

 

[Robert Marshall]

Cairo Museum is very similar to our main Stand

 

[Robert Marshall]

Goodish and Villa Park. Must've had the same architect.

Cary Grant designed a lot of the Stadium in the UK

 

[Amity75]

Roker Park also

And the original piggery but I like to think it was a half arsed design, drawn on the back of a fag packet.

That was Archibald Leitch?

 

[Shengus Malengus]

I have it on good authority Archie was blootered at the time.

 

[Dabdog]

Copenhagen Ajax and Sunderland

Sunderland might not look like Ibrox but the view and way rows go back are similar to Copand/Broomland/Govan

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

Parken in Copenhagen if the seats were blue.

Cracking staduim that.

Always generates a decent atmosphere too.

 

[Amity75]

Yep, the original main stand front. It looked shit though, as you would expect.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

And the original piggery but I like to think it was a half arsed design, drawn on the back of a fag packet.

Looked like a jail. He knew what be was doing

 

[robbo89]

Yep, the original main stand front. It looked shit though, as you would expect.

It certainly was never any match for Ibrox but the frontage they built to replace their original Leitch main stand is much much uglier. It's just naff looking at it.

 

[Grommitt]

It doesn't look that similar overall but parts of Villa Park have that similar old red-brick style to our main stand.

That also reminds me in a way of my old school, Hillhead High!

 

[Neild79]

Goodish and Villa Park. Must've had the same architect.

Aye Archibald Leitch designed both stadiums.

 

[tcbuzz]

McDiarmid Park was often referred to as a "Mini Ibrox" when it was built.

The rebuilt Ibrox was based on Dortmund's stadium in the 70s, but they've expanded there's and changed it since then.

The main stand front is amazingly similar to the Cairo National Museum (look it up!)

 

[Shengus Malengus]

I never miss an opportunity to post Rangers' cheque to oor Archie.
A prized birthday gift from my son.

 

[JRei23]

Looked up the Cairo national museum, similarities are definitely there ,apart from the palms trees !

 

[Fitba Juice]

It doesn't look that similar overall but parts of Villa Park have that similar old red-brick style to our main stand.

Why were they allowed to knock that down? Wasn't it listed?

I'm pretty certain that it has been confirmed that the Cairo Museum heavily influenced Archibald Leitch's Ibrox Stadium design.

 

[Delboy1962]

Cairo Museum is very similar to our main Stand

Definitely a similarity to our magnificent main stand.

That's always the one I think of too.

 

[robbo89]

From what I understand, auld Archie boy had fallen behind on the project because he was out on the swally.

When he realised he had fúcked it on the morning his design was meant to be submitted, he remembered he had a drawing of the Cairo Museum at the back of his desk.

He quickly traced over it, submitted that at his own work and the rest is history.

 

[GovanFront4]

Copenhagen Ajax and Sunderland

Sunderland might not look like Ibrox but the view and way rows go back are similar to Copand/Broomland/Govan

I don't think Ajax is similar at all.

 

[TBagg]

Aye Archibald Leitch designed both stadiums.

And Portsmouth

Always thought that about McDiarmid when I was young, at least when the multicoloured seats were still at Ibrox.

 

[Theportyunionjack]

Like a Slough industrial park office built in the early 90's

 

[Dabdog]

I don't think Ajax is similar at all.

I mean the view on to the pitch.

I actually dont think many are like Ibrox at all tbh

The Den has got to be modelled on the Ibrox rebuild of 78-81

The Den - London - The Stadium Guide

Club: Millwall FC | Opening: 1993 | Capacity: 19,734 seats | Description: The Den, previously called The New Den, was one of the first stadiums to be built following the Taylor Report and complying with the report’s recommendations.

Amazing what happens when you put your active supporters group bang in the middle of the home end.

 

[Pvt. Hudson]

Not a stadium, but I’ve always thought that the Fairfield Heritage building in Govan next to BAE looks very similar to the Ibrox frontage.

 

[Blaze Of Glory]

The first time my son saw a picture of the outside of the Blackpool Tower, he asked why someone had built the Eiffel Tower in the middle of Ibrox. He was only about 4!

 

[muttley]

Looked like a jail. He knew what be was doing

I remember the main front of the piggery back in the 1970's. It looked like a job done by cowboy builders, who later fecked off halfway through. It probably was, tbh.

The currently piggery front looks like the entry to an old folks home.

 

[Luca Stroppi]

Athletico Bilbao’s previous stadium had a familiar vibe to it with stands close to the pitch, lower and upper levels and screens in both corners. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&u...ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCKin89GqjYYDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAf

My first thought when I seen that was my old school aswell. Craigton Primary

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Been to Lens a couple of times which is similar.
Think it’s the 4 individual stands that create the look.
