@@pocketdynamo5787 Braunschweigs stadiums is an athletics stadium. There are only 2 of these in this vid because nearly every other stadium in this states suck!
the fritz Walter stadion is absolutely stunning. I was there a few years ago and fell in love with it. The stadium looks absolutely massive on the betzeberg, and dominates the city skyline. In my opinion the best looking stadium in the world and a proper football stadium as it should look.
Went there in 98, a few weeks before they won the Bundesliga. It is what a football stadium is supposed to look and I feel really sad about how the past two decades turned out for Kaiserslautern.
Kaiserslautern Fan here: Yes our stadium is great :). It's not the most modern/flashy stadium (anymore) but looks really special with the 3 HUGE stands, the 2 missing corners and the smaller "main-stand" - which just couldn't be built bigger cause of the steep slope behind :D. But the very best part is it's location on the hill, leaving no doubt that football is king there.
I am hoping they can survive the Bundesliga 2 next season, and eventually climb up to the Bundesliga in a few years. I would love to see fritz Walter in the bundesliga again as the fans deserve.
yes, let's hope they can stabilize in BL2. from a "traditional football" standpoint it isn't even too attractive anymore to play in BL1... not many people really care about Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim, Leipzig, Augsburg, Leverkusen, Mainz...
It's arguable that the stadiums in Hannover or Braunschweig in Lower Saxony are much more appreciable than this thing in Wolfsburg in my opinion, a town and a club just existing for and with Volkswagen. Eintracht Braunschweig (Hamburger Str., Hamburg Street in English) is by far the most passionate one for me. They are back in the 2nd Bundesliga now. Derbys between Hanover and Braunschweig (Brunswick) are legendary in German football.
My thought exactly. Wolfsburgs stadium may be the most modern one, but it's dull. It doesn't have a character, other than the one in Brunswick, and it's smaller than the one in Hanover. For me, Wolfsburg comes in third or even fourth within Lower Saxony, perhaps even behind Bremer Brücke (Osnabrück).
In my opinion it’s def not brunswicks stadium which is the best cuz it has a track! U r sitting faaar away from the ground which makes it a mid ground! Osnabrück or Wolfsburg r my choices the one has charm and the other one is modern. Hannover is to outdated imo
@@konge1421 Well, your opinion is quite comprehensible, but a running track has almost become a gem today because they are getting so rare after most stadiums were reconstructed or rebuilt in the last two decades (except most stadiums in Italy ;)). But I'm quite sure that the day will come and the Hamburger Str. in Brunswick will be reconstructed as well and the track will be history someday. But that depends on the financial situation of the city and the club, in other words if they can stay up at least in 2. Bundesliga long-term again. 3. Liga and below offers nothing but financial problems in German football. The team of my hometown, Wuppertaler SV, is playing in the 4th tier (Regionalliga West) and the city which is the owner of the stadium is totally debt-ridden, not to mention the club. Reconstructing the stadium (which is actually charming, beautiful and history-charged in my opinion) is a wishful dream, but unthinkable since many years.
Always really liked Cologne stadium, would have voted for that but that region has tons of great venues. Your next city stadiums video could be about the North Rhine-Westphalia region even though not really a city it is one big urban metro area
Indeed. Even Rott-Weiss Essen's stadium, who have recently been promoted to the 3.Liga (10 years in fourth German division) is better than a lot of first tier stadiums of a few European countries!
@@isaak4416 RWE back in the professional section 🥳 (German champion of 1955, first German club in the European cup 1955/56). Also the other clubs that reached the 3rd league are interesting: Bayreuth, Elversberg and Oldenburg.
@@BremerMoewe Hahahah alter kann nicht dein Ernst sein. Natürlich liegen Freiburg und Stuttgart beide in Baden Württemberg dachte eigentlich das weiß jeder, krass wie dumm manche menschen sind. Du hättest auch einfach vorher nachgoogeln können als hier deinen blödsinn zu schreiben
Really interesting video! It is cool to learn about these stadiums, some of which I've never heard of. My personal favourite was the Steigerwaldstadion. Keep up the vids! P.S. Been asking this for about 8 months, please make an Australian suburban football leagues series or video (VFL, SANFL, WAFL.)
St. Pauli clearly got ripped here. They got an amazing stadion with the unique feature of a standing area in 3 quarters of the Stadium which leads to an amazing feel!
Tbf they used to have a decent stadium until it got modernized. Facilities are poor there and the atmosphere used to be great but nowadays it just feels like another modern venue. Volkspark is larger, got better facilities and much more history to it, i.e. it’s been the only stadium that hosted a match between east and west Germany, it hosted the first ever Europa league final and so on
Funnily enough the now called Red Bull Arena wasn’t even built vor RB Leipzig, as the stadium in it‘s current form is actually 5 years older than the club. Red Bull just decided to buy it from the city and slap it‘s branding all over it.
I don't live in Canada but am also hoping to see that video as well as one for Spain's autonomous communities or Australian states since our host lives there.
maybe you can do a video for the NLL(third biggest arena sports league in the world by attendance) arenas for next season since they have a new expansion team being added in Las Vegas
@@ElSalvador241 Ich habe dir zugestimmt... Lübeck ist mittlerweile nur noch ein Witz. Das Stadion ist eigentlich nur eine Tribüne und selbst die Kieler U23 ist besser...
I think the Rheinenergie Stadium from Cologne would have been a better pick for North Rhine Westphalia. Its got nicer aesthetics and the atmosphere outplays even Dortmund.
I guess the Munich Olympic stadium is worth mentioning. Unfortunately the fixation on football makes it economically difficult to survive for these magnificent and in regards to architecture far superior stadiums.
Good video althogh the Karl-Liebknecht-Stadion in Babelsberg is definetly better than the Stadion der Freundschaft in Cottbus, it has foldable Floodlights and the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld of Carl Zeiss Jena is better than the stadium in Erfurt.
Especially in Berlin, Hamburg and Northrhine-Westphalia there's some room for debate. In Berlin i prefer the "Stadion an der Alten Försterei" of FC Union Berlin, in Hamburg I clearly prefer the "Millerntor-Stadion" of FC St. Pauli and NRW just has a lot to offer, in cities like Bochum, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Gelsenkirchen, Essen, even in Wuppertal and Bielefeld...
USA, UK, Germany and Australia have the best stadiums in the world, in other words let's do Australia next please or when the new stadium open in Sydney
Agreed being his home nation and all. But needs to cover the new SFS/ Allianz Stadium when it opens in September.. and also the Great Southern Screen at SA/ Accor Stadium as well as maybe MCG renos. Given we don't really have a University sports scene in Aus, would love to see a vid of some of the various (mostly Private) High School grounds for Union/ Cricket (NSW and Qld) and AFL/ Cricket (Vic, SA and WA)
When are you going to do the Premier Leauge and Championship and Leauge one and Leauge 2 stadiums you should also do the Non-Leauge Stadiums in England
Come on... In Baden Württemberg it has to be Mercedes Benz Arena, in Berlin die Alte Försterei, in Niedersachsen HDI Arena and in Sachsen Dynamo Dresden
In my opinion the best stadium of Saxony is the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion in Dresden. But not cuz of build but cuz of the fans of the football club "SG Dynamo Dresden" and the history of it.
LMAO, It's a soul-sucking corporate club with plastic fans owned by a company that owns multiple teams worldwide. It's the antithesis of what German football is supposed to be.
To everyone complaining .....this is just the content providers opinion....Germany has a great selection of stadiums and great football culture.....50 plus 1 is the best example of this...
Well best thing about the video is that I learned all English names of our Bundesländer. They are even more complicated than in German and sound absolutely terrible.
Yes, someone else pointed that out. It had Bremen in the description and so it came up when I searched for Bremen. But the funny thing is I was in Riga when I recorded this video. It's the city that you see out of the window when I mention that I'm near the Baltic Sea.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums Sorry haven’t seen the other comment. That’s really funny! And I mean the statue in the video is actually from Bremen and was a gift to Riga, so it’s not completely wrong I guess.
union's stadium is better than hertha. and the floodlights at hansa are very much what you'd see at quite a few eastern bloc grounds. i could be mistaken here, but i think freiburg's old ground was in the middle of the black forest
Listen, being from Berlin I'm obviously biased towards our old lady, but the Olympiastadion is definetly better. Not in terms of fan experience, but the history and prestige of a stadium has hosted Olympic games, world cup finals and Champions League finals make it so much more compelling. Plus: If not for the fan experience, the architecture is incredible. I'm still in awe everytime we're there.
How can anyone seriously pick the Volkspark over the Millerntor & The RB Stadium over the Dynamo Stadium. Also might be biased here but Volkswagen Arena does not stand a Chance against Stadion an der Bremer Brücke (or even HDI Arena). Other than that very fun video to watch.
My bad. It turns out it had Bremen in the description of the video. That's why it came up when I searched for Bremen. I was in Riga when I recorded this, which makes it worse. That was the city you could see at 6:27.
I will never understand how someone can prefer soulless modern stadiums over unique old ones. The only stadiums in this list who really look cool are Olympiastadion in Berlin and Steigerwaldstadion in Erfurt.
Its a big shame to go for Freiburg over the Stuttgart Stadium. Its very very obviously that Stuttgart has the better and bigger Stadium. Do your research better man!
St. Pauli clearly got ripped here. They got an amazing stadion with the unique feature of a standing area in 3 quarters of the Stadium which leads to an amazing feel!
