Let’s take a look at 3 majestic, must-visit sporting arenas.
Wembley Stadium
Everyone, simply everyone, has heard about the iconic Wembley Stadium at some point in their lives. Whether you’re from America, Africa, or Asia, Wembley Stadium is one of the most spoken-about, and well-renowned stadiums on the planet.
Each year it plays host to a number of high-stakes English football matches, including the FA Cup final, The Carabao Cup Final, and the initial season kick-off Community Shield. Other than that, Wembley Stadium has recently hosted a number of NFL games, as the sport starts to become more and more international. If you’re a sporting fan of any type, this 90 000 seater is simply a must-visit.
Louisiana Superdome
The Louisiana Superdome is quite unlike any stadium on the planet. It doesn’t have a rich history of iconic winning sports teams or even has a particular aesthetic that makes it special. Instead, it is the community and the city that surrounds this stadium that make it a must-visit for any sports fan. Sporting is about more than just the game being played on the field, it’s about the fans, the community, and the culture, and few do it better than those in Louisiana.
The area surrounding the city is known as one of the best party locations on the planet, meaning that if you come out to watch a game at the Superdome you are guaranteed to have a fantastic time, win or lose. The Superdome also holds a special place in the heart of many Americans, as it revived the city after the atrocities of hurricane Katrina.
Madison Square Garden
The home of basketball and a fan of any NBA fan or enthusiast who keeps a closed eye on NCAA picks, Madison Square Garden is one of the most iconic and possibly the most well-known arenas on the planet. And that’s not just because of the sporting events that take place there. World-renowned musical artists, comedians, and sports teams all use this stadium to showcase their talents, making it the true cultural hub of the city of New York.
