You know, the loudest stadium I've ever played in was 45,000 people at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas. The entire thing is concrete. It's like dropping a ball bearing in your neighbor's basement.
I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design, and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end, I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.
Yankee Stadium is a mistake: Not mine - the Giants'.
I like Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. With the waterfall and things like that, I think it's pretty cool.
It is now a pleasure to go to any of the Premier League grounds. They are so welcoming, not just to me but to all the broadcasters - all media, really, you have to say.
Our stadium seats over 80,000, and we sell all of our tickets.
Santiago Bernabeu is the best stadium I have ever played in. I enjoy every minute on its pitch.
San Siro is a historic stadium. It's nice, but it doesn't offer comfort.
I have always stated I designed the stadium as a toilet seat. I don't care if this is a great cultural event or a national symbol. It has nothing to do with me. It deals with the city.
If you want to have a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium, then you can get one.

When I joined Lille, they had a new stadium at Marseille. It was the same, so I know how important it is to clubs when they move home.
Real Madrid's Bernabeu was an amazing stadium to play in. It was just on top of you, and such a big stadium.
The Bernabeu is a fantastic stadium, probably the best stadium I have ever played.
The stadiums are like none I've ever seen. I think there must have been some strong competition nationally between Korea and Japan to make the best facilities because they are very well designed.
I like to make a tour round the pitch before games to look at the architecture, the colours in the stadium, the sky, to feel the atmosphere growing.
When you were a kid, if you went to the Montreal Forum or a hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens, which I did, there was a great feeling. The new stadiums don't have it. Why don't they have it? Building codes.
Dodger Stadium is not an antique. It's not Frank Lloyd Wright. It's a nice place to play baseball, but there are far better.
The stadium here in Munich is the best of the lot for me. It is absolutely fantastic, especially the way it lights up a different colour according to who is playing. It's superb.
A lot of the time, if you go into an arena, they're pretty uninspiring. But we try to create an atmosphere.
