I'm so proud of these stadiums! What an accomplishment for Portugal, and the clubs, congratulations to everyone involved. I hope EURO runs smoothely! Especially for our NT. I already have it all planned out if/when Portugal wins the tourney . Ahh, what a party it will be....

 

[Jedi Mind Trick]

The mountain is gonna stay like it is. It's a awesome stadium, unique in the world!

I love the way some of those stadiums have the lego style seats with all the patterns. But damnit, that modern art looking colorful one has got to go. It's terrible!

 

[Hugo-45-Viana]

The Beira-Mar lego seats aren't bad, but for the love of god someone's gotta pay for a repaint.

 

[Hugo-45-Viana]

I'm unimpressed with the Braga stadium, the only thing that wowed me was the mountain, and now it's like barely 5 meters high.

 

[Elder]

I thought I would like that mountain stadium, but why are they puting a roof on it? It just looks stupid to have a roof, but the sides completely open. Take the roof off and that is one interesting place.

All the lego seats should stay, but those outside color patterns for that child playground stadium has really had it.

how many does that mountain stadium hold? doesn't look like alot.

Good idea, looks like it's gone bad unfortunetly.

 

[Hugo-45-Viana]

It'll hold 30,000, it'd probably be more but because of the mountains(or rather lackof) they're pretty restrained to a limit, but considering it's just 2 sides and holds as much as some of the oval domes, that's pretty impressive.

BTW-About the roof, there's a good reason for the roof being put in, and that's that in Portugal mostly up north(or at least in Aveiro where I used to live it was like this), it's either VERY VERY sunny, or you're getting 4 feet of rain dropped down, now if I was a football fan I wouldn't want to have to not go to a game because I don't feel like getting soaked just to watch a game. So really it serves as shade, and as protection from rain, a good idea IMO, though I'd like to know where all the facilities are going to be, I mean it seems just like 2 stands... unless they have them in the mountains!?
