Apologies if this has already been posted, but this is a whole new world of football for me.
Think I need to get into the Junior game.

Seen in the clip, they alluded to that. Safe to say a closed roof tonight.An incredible stadium and the atmosphere should be electric tonight.
Must have been some experience for you. One thing that I thinks a shame in Spanish football is the lack of away supporters.The new Bernabeu: Can Real Madrid's stadium keep them at the top?
BBC Sport visits Spain to find out why Real Madrid have radically remodelled their iconic Bernabeu stadium, as they aim to stay ahead of the competition in European football.www.bbc.co.uk
Was lucky enough to have seen an El Classico in the previous one but you are right OP, a whole new world.
I was with my son in with Barcelona fans who had been allowed a small part of the upper level in one corner behind one of the goals...Bought the tickets through one of the agencies and although paid over the odds was worth it just to see, as my son said, probably the best players on the planet at that time. Real won 3 - 1.Must have been some experience for you. One thing that I thinks a shame in Spanish football is the lack of away supporters.
Anyway if I want to see a game there, then I'm off to learn Spanish and apply for a job as a steward.
Have a stadium tour booked there in 5 weeks time. Reduced tour due to the renovations with no visits to the changing room, VIP box or press room, but will have the panoramic view of the stadium, Real Madrid Museum & pic with the European Cup.
Spurs stadium takes some beating.I was there a few weeks ago. It’s an incredible place but the actual stands haven’t changed that much. It’s still similar inside. Obviously the pitch technology and roof are incredible.
I’ve been to the new Spurs stadium and I’d say it’s on a different level in terms of modernisation.
Lol, all i know is, it says ... Photo with the European Cup (Optional) ... in the confirmation email. Thought it meant they still have one of the older cups.Blimey! They’re certainly confident of winning it…..

Ive a spare day in Madrid waiting on connecting flight to Colombia. Bernabeu was always my fav stadium in the world, after Ibrox of course lol. My first time in Madrid & there was no way i was missing out, even if its not finished.Was in Madrid 3 week ago, went Bernabeu for a look at outside and it’s still a building site. Couple of mates went tour, I didn’t bother as I’d heard it was a disgrace on here and trip advisor - they were out within 30 mins and said it was terrible. Shame as in 2001 I went and it was superb with a great museum. Waiting till it’s all in full order before going a game and doing the tour.
Do Legends at Plaza Sol, excellent Football experience.

Thanks for the Legends at Plaza Sol info, must look into it.
From the outside you mean I take it?I'm not a fan of it at all. Looks utterly stupid
A thing of beauty.
A good bouncy would put the engineering to the test
The optics are amazing on TV. Thought it looked incredible last night. Interesting to read the 'real life' experience doesn't quite live up to that.My son lived in Madrid for a year recently so I took the opportunity to take in a game at both the Bernabeu and the Wanda Metropolitano. It wasn't quite finished when I was there but although the engineering of the roof and pitch are amazing I thought the experience for the ordinary fan wasn't that great. It's obviously an iconic stadium but there are constraints with it, leg room wasn't great and the concourse not impressive. As an overall stadium experience I actually enjoyed the Wanda more. What I was impressed with was the transport infrastructure. 30 mins after the final whistle at the Bernabeu I was back at my hotel at Plaza de Espana. No need for a subway Loyal even with 90k people leaving.
Don't get me wrong it's an incredible place I was just expecting facilities for the normal fan to be much better. They may be now as it's wasn't finished when I was there. E.g. I had a slash in a portaloo on the concourse, and there was no to minimal food stalls inside. I definitely want to go back and take in another game there now it's pretty much complete.The optics are amazing on TV. Thought it looked incredible last night.

I was at Cowdenbeath v Rangers about 5 years ago. Left as we scored as I've never been as cold at a match before. Walked to nearest bar and watched game on telly.Well it beats Central Park Cowdenbeath that's for sure.
Imagine belting out the Billy Boys in there
Yeah, people look back on old stadiums like that misty eyed, but the truth is, they were absolute shite holes, properly minging, modern stadiums are far better in every way, people just have fond memories of the past as we had great times and we never actually knew any better.I was at Cowdenbeath v Rangers about 5 years ago.
