Top 10 Soccer Stadiums - #10

Top 10 Soccer Stadiums

This is another one of my soccer lists. This time I am ranking the top 10 soccer stadiums that currently exist in the world.

I am considering history, design, location, and the major team using the stadium.

Feel free to agree or disagree just be sure to do so in the comments section.

Definition of Stadium 

Merriam-Webster defines a stadium as: a large usually roofless building with tiers of seats for spectators at sports events

If you are a fan of a specific soccer team you know that a stadium is more that simply a building. It is a home, gathering place, and a fortress to be defended. Many fans have lifelong memories created in the stadium of their favorite team. Some stadiums are known by their name and others change names quite often for advertising money. However, a stadium is as much a part of a team and its culture as are a teams players and fans.

#10 Rose Bowl - Pasadena, CA 



More well known for the annual college football game of the same name, the Rose Bowl in suburban Los Angeles, CA has hosted some of the most historic soccer games ever played in the U.S.

Opened in 1922 the Rose Bowl ws host to three professional soccer teams. The L.A. Wolves (NASL), L.A. Aztecs (NASL), and the L.A. Galaxy (MLS).

The Rose Bowl Stadium was the venue for the football (soccer) events for the 1984 Summer Olympics, 1994 FIFA World Cup, and the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup.





The remaining will be counted down from #9 - #1, one each day.
