Joe, respectfully, this is too much for my TL.
Dunno why, but this thread gives me hope for humanity
Thanks for sharing @JoePompliano , content is 🔥🔥🔥! 😎
This was really cool. Followed
Great thread Joe!
Some beautiful places to visit on upcoming trips
That was awesome
Missed boulders
Beautiful. Not a sports venue but the best public pool I’ve ever seen
Chamonix in France
Should’ve all been golf courses
No maracana in Rio?
PETCO PARK???????
Not mad, because you’re 100% correct, but disappointed you beat me to the “Amazing list, but check out what’s in Braga” post
What did Canada ever do to you ? Haha
Do the top 50 golf course views
Brasilia Temosa “beach pitch” created by community members in Recife, Brazil in conjunction with @lovefutbol
Really enjoyed this thread, thanks
This is a great coffee table book, if not one already
Wonderful list. Old Head on the coast of Ireland is amazing and worth a note.
Camden Yards snub
How did Folsom Field not make the list?
How you gonna include Wrigley but not Oracle Park??
Wonderful thread, Joe !
Amazing places !
Cheers !

Thanks for the beautiful photos
I have been to 3/50
Thought this one would make the list : Braga Municipal Soccer Stadium, was carved and built into the rock
Cabot Cliffs GC, Cabot Links Golf Resort, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Northwestern university soccer/lacrosse stadium is pretty cool images.app.goo.gl/zP7pKr1ta4oLG5…
Is this considered an ordered list or an unordered list of your top 50? Or even just 50 notables?
Folsom Field, Boulder, Colorado

Awesome post!
Gibraltar 2 different sites Victoria Stadium (Football) and Europa Sports Park (Rugby).
Not enough cricket grounds ;-) Here's Galle in Sri Lanka overlooked by the Fort

Really enjoyed your thread. Seems like great fodder for a calendar or something?
51. Saalfelden Arena in Pinzgau, Austria 🇦🇹
You know the home of @FCPSen deserves to be on the list @JoePompliano 😉
We're a little biased, but we support this message! (And this isn't even the best shot of the stadium!)
The list could have not been completed without Beşiktaş football stadium in İstanbul, Bosphorus, Turkey.
The fact that so many Croatian venues are on here has the 1/4th Croatian in me beaming with joy 😂🇭🇷 especially the Imotski stadium because my grandfather’s family came to the US from there.
Not enough cricket on this list (also the wellington and Chicago ones… no chance!)
No monte carlo tennis tournmament, on a cliffs edge with sea views?
these are amazing

He already had a byu one. They basically have the same view
Camp Randal stadium is in a really pretty location

Magusa Turk Gucu Football Club’s “Canbulat Stadium”.
Edge of the city walls, nearby the Mediterranean sea and the port. Location; Famagusta, North Cyprus
A few years ago there was a car parking over there…
The setting of Valleymount GAA club in Wicklow is one of the best from my corner of the earth.

some incredible venues on here! This is the only one I’ve been to!
I’ve been to the Central Coast Stadium for RL and seen the Wellington stadium from the outside.
Some incredible venues in that list
I would love to watch a match on every soccer field
The cake tin
Thanks @JoePompliano 🙂 @skystadium 🙌
It’s one of my home sports grounds, but it’s not even the most beautiful in the country. There’s more sports than the ones listed. Try this.
Queenstown is far more spectacular than Wellington. Wellington is a well appointed stadium but Queenstown is just a stunning place to watch cricket
but neither in the same league as Pukekura Park.
Check this out @BR4DY! Thanks for the shout out @JoePompliano
We’ll have to do it again @foofighters #WorldsBestMusicVenues
Compare and contrast: the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch, South Africa:
It's not Newlands, mind. But where is?
this does not belong in this list lmao
Disagree, the view towards the townbelt is incredible. This view isn't the one.
(No comment)
Was not expecting to see the CakeTin on this list.
let's goooo
This is awesome! (As is the whole list) Based on the layout it’s probably a Futsal court? Usually played indoors but an outdoor setting. Awesome!
*football pitch
Humble brag. Here is the other Dubrovnik court from the house we rented.
Imagine trying to hit a corner three on the top side of the court here
(No comment)
I was scrolling through the list waiting to mention this field. Stopped to watch a local game here en route to Machu Picchu. It’s a stunning venue
Have a look at Estádio Municipal de Braga. And Bordeaux. Two of my favorites
* football pitch
We hiked by this venue coming off 7 day treck on Salkantay trail ahead of Machu Picchu. Amazing beautiful venue.
sir correct it Balochistan is a separate nation , it is not pakistan
You smell like yet-another-indian-hater; an impostor 🇮🇳 but I’m not surprised. That’s what you guys are about.
This is Gwadar, Pakistan! ✨🇵🇰✨

The best!
Joe please give some attention to this fella, he might have a temper tantrum if he is not acknowledged in something completely unrelated of what your thread is about.
this one is underrated should be higher

Bookmarked this feed earlier C2.
Will have a good look tomorrow!
Much appreciated!
cool angle
This one sucks
Comparatively speaking it does.
The most beautiful empty place I. EARTH
This one sucks. 49/50
great thread
Personally, I'd go with Soldier Field. Closer to downtown and surrounded by the lakefront, Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium.
ruined by the spaceship addition
True, I'd prefer if it kept the former look considering how well it fits with the city's architecture as a whole, but regardless, pictures like this fill me with awe
Always thought this was in the city lol
it is in the city…
Thought you could watch from buildings no?
Gotcha. Need to check it out
it is. the city extends for miles north past the field. Addison is 3600 north, and the north end of the city is 7500
I can always appreciate Wrigley, even as a Brewers fan. I love how it's just tucked away in a neighborhood. Like, there's people that live just across the street. You're just driving down some local streets and all of a sudden, there's Wrigley out of nowhere right in front of you
Too bad about the team that plays there.

Napoli stadium is always this gorg 🤩
and here!
I think that is the Medieval Manhattan, San Gimignano in Tuscany
Good get.

How you leave out that basketball court in the Philippines projects
Most beautiful place I’ve ever been @Pirates ❤️⚾️
PNC and AT&T are definitely the prettiest parks in MLB
PNC nice but better than Oracle?
Was wondering how far I would have to scroll to find this treasure of a baseball park. 👍
Soooo awesome PNC Park made this list. Yeah 412!!!!
The most beautiful place in the world
The credibility of this list has gone far downhill
Best ballpark in @MLB !
beautiful stadium, awful owners.
(No comment)
Blaaahhh 😂😂😂
I’m coming to Pittsburgh lol
Ok this is awesome @DougTammaro
Still need to make my way to this one. Many games at Three Rivers
Great ballpark. Terrible team.
Having this above Camden yards is borderline crazy
Baltimore is a sewer buddy.
Immediate failure by not having Augusta National on the list.
Based on the pictures, I'm assuming backdrop was an important factor in rankings these. Hence why Pebble Beach surrounded by the coastline made the list and ANGC surrounded by Augusta neighborhoods did not. Also, Cypress Point s/b listed over Pebble IMO.
Newlands, Cape Town should have featured in the list.
(No comment)
Awesome venues!
oh hey I’ve played here!
Scrolled through the thread mostly for the purpose of ensuring you shared this. Good call!
And this @MiahPhelan 😍
Was scrolling for this one
Being a tennis junkie, this is my favorite one! Monte Carlo tennis club should be on the list!
Not the greatest pics but this futbol pitch on a cliffside on the Amalfi coast near Positano ranks
Walked past this on my walk from my hostel to the downtown core!

Thats my home 🏡 town. I miss my home 😭
This is spectacular
Looks like Hogwarts Quidditch stadium
they should play tests here omg
Some more from the stadium, last week! The Dhauladhar range of the greater Himalayas provide a surreal backdrop.
Picturesque 😍
Imagine the traffic on game day 😬
No Oracle Park in San Francisco 😢
These are all beautiful, though. Well done.

The Cricket Field at Stanton Village Club in the village of Stanton, UK, in the Cotswolds.
Southerner who grew up on SEC football living in Seattle area now....Husky Stadium is absolutely worth a visit and might be my favorite environment in all of CFB. Especially if you get a Sailgaiting package booked to pregame!
Just moved here and so glad I read this comment because now I absolutely will be trying out sailgating in the fall… might be the only way possible to convince me there’s better tailgating than my Hokies
You won’t be disappointed. A truly unique CFB experience.
But beware, you should be booking your charter now or finding a boat some other way. There are some public cruises with Argossy I think. But tickets sell fast.
This might mean an unfollow
The Dawg Pound.
(No comment)
this is why we need to go this fall
you made the list lol
Is Fromhold Field (CA) the best to play at in all of high school baseball? ⚾️👀
(Via @BaseballBros )
This pic DOES NOT do Husky stadium justice
Show the one when Nebraska played a home game there
I was at that game. Nebraska fans were really fun to tailgate with. We introduced a lot of them to Dizzy Bat in the Husky Stadium parking lot.
Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium, the @GreatestSetting in cfb.
Good clarification :)

Go Huskies! Tbh I think this one should be 10 and the Rose Bowl should be 25
Cc @PlayerProMorgan husky stadium getting love, top 50 sports venue in the world 👀
Should have included the ball field at PV :). Or Stadium HS football field; it’s absolutely stunning.
WOOF!! It’s a gem 💎
You got to travel by air to the stadium?
Looks like a Peter McKinnon shirt
*football pitch
Unfortuanately no football here anymore 🙄
"Football" not soccer
My favorite city in Europe!!
I’ve been to this one. Always baffled by this design 😆 🇭🇷
Amazing thread! The basketball court in Dubrovnik is in fact amazing 👀I took this during my last visit
My husband and I were delighted to spot that court when we visited too!
Such a nice surprise as you round the corner on the wall 😍
AYO @DanDaRocha we saw this one!!
We did! So cool
Glad to see that basketball court make the list. It is super cool. And wildly unexpected as you walk the walls of Dubrovnik.
am no expert, but that looks off a little
You can only do half court. Making it regulation would have involved messing up an UNESCO site. Not that the Serbs didn’t try in 92.
I was going to send you this one! Amazing thread btw
I'm training my knees, so hopefully we can play a little bit in summer again 😁
Remember this @MiahPhelan 🥰🥰
(No comment)
who’s turn to get the ball? 🏊🏻
(No comment)
Depends where you are from lol
I was there its a muslim village
Wouldn’t the ball go into the water like 200 times a game?
Isn’t that a handball field?
“Damn it Johnny you kicked the ball into the water again.”
“Nah it’s okay I’ll get it.”
always my fav
*football pitch
You be out of balls in five minutes here though it is beautiful
This pic looks completely fake to me.
GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!!
Hey, you have that reversed 🤣
Not this year!!! 😂
Nothing better on a crisp Fall Saturday afternoon…
I've been there many times. Fantastic setting.
(No comment)
not a bad spot to play!
Beat Army!
Look better when your playing on it
this is really gorgeous
And a great view.
Yes, it is. Beat Navy.
Sitting atop this field as a boy was when I learned about the speed of sound, as we all saw the cannon smoke before hearing the boom from across the river.
blink and it's gonna be underwater
*football pitch
What's the stadium next to it?
Maybe this view, but in front of it and inside, it is not very good looking…
The Parc is great....you just have to look out for the Boulogne Boys apres le match 😀😀!!!
One of the best F1 races
Homie has the crown jewel of all of Motorsport and you want to replace it for the pool next door
Coming from a Haas fan. Monaco is the worst race all year.
I feel like that big yacht now belongs to the US government
Belongs to Alisher Usmanov, sanctioned in many countries. German government was rumoured to have seized it but has not (yet). Sitting in Hamburg right now.
I have been to this one
I think that large yacht is the Russian oligarch’s yacht that was just seized …. 😳
There for 2016 GP, going again in May 🏎🏎
If you can’t see the whole track how would you know if someone cheated. I wouldn’t trust anyone on that track
Did they do the sneaky injections in the trees?
Phil is that you
I’ve ran on that track back in high school with my cross team. Beautiful track and even more beautiful campus
My sister was on this pitch!
I’ve noticed that every one of these have like 0 parking
*football pitch
Omg god it’s football, not soccer. What possible logic is used when a game where people run with the ball in the arms for 59 mins and is maybe kicked ten times in an entire game.. Called football.. a joke lol
This is 🔥
Should have just said all the sports venues at BYU and the surrounding areas.
Awesome venue. Can’t get much better than that!
Why is BYU's baseball field so special?
The view of the mountains. We get used to them living here. People go wild about them outside of the west.
Whistler HS, Howe Sound HS and Quest University in the Sea to Sky Corridor in B.C., Canada all have fields that could make this list.
Sweet
Utah Valley University has a beautiful backdrop as well.
Colorado School of Mines has a similar one twitter.com/minesfootball/…
Took this photo of Miller Park at BYU's home-opener last week. Sensational scenery and ballpark.
(No comment)
Is that a soccer field for ants?
Most likely a basketball court converted for soccer practice and small games
You said beautiful
This one is actually bad, but the rest of the thread is amazing.
Fifa street
Thanks for this Joe
This one’s a weird addition— there is no view. It’s like any other rooftop pitch around the city.
Love the mural with Maradona, Cruyff, and Best.
You and Trev should have a kick about on here.
geez, that tiny-ass rooftop 🤣🤣🤣
This place is amazing and you’re right in Chinatown - the best
*football pitch
Is this by the Kahala?
Been there. So beautiful
we should go play some hoops here!
About five minutes from where I grew up
hit it up!
I’ve been planning on it! Hopefully one of these days soon!

My back yard
I don't about this one.
Man tried to fit the rose bowl into this 😂😂
Too low
I was at that game
#GoFrogs
No one who has been to the rose bowl would agree with this.
Jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤢
(No comment)
Did you say the Rose Bowl
This one it’s not pretty at all
Number 10 on the “most beautiful” list?
I think you meant @BrooksideGC Joe....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Rose Bowl has more seating, but Lavell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Ut has a lot more beauty. Nestled right up to the mountains.
Why is this in the thread?
How horror movies start
Will be closed soon?
You can delete this one… nothing “beautiful “ in Russia at the moment
Would you have excluded US venues during the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan?
I don’t play soccer, but I would here.
This is real?
Part of me wants to say tear it up because it’s in Russia… 🤷♂️, but sports are one the few things that still cross over and unite us all.
*football pitch
Way preferred the pool. Tough membership entry aswell
Bondi Icebergs pool has been ‘converted’ a couple of times as part of different promotions.
Here’s the tennis version
Yes. Pretty sure it’s already back to being a pool. Bondi Icebergs is a swimming club. It’s a sea water pool.
Every single time they do it, it is a travesty. They should all be forced to swim there three weekends a month each winter five years as penance
Give it about five years and it will permanently be a pool lol
Blacktop court in Australia? The pool boutta get refilled from the homies’ sweat
(No comment)
It was done for a promotion just before the NBA playoffs last year, so it was late autumn going into winter. It has been converted back since.
They’d just throw that up for whatever gimmick and then dismantle. 99.99999999% of the time it’s a pool. It wouldn’t be that hard to put in a court, they empty the pool once a week for cleaning…
The ocean is going into it wtf
People who did this should face the court.
Why is it black
How’s does the water not go on to the court
Really cool place :)
damn this is hideous
U we’re here @rilgood ?
this would be dope as well!
Not as much a #basketball fan as I was in 1990s but digging the colorful court in Paris, France.
The Court in La Perla viejo San Juan are definitely better than this
Where is this b-ball court? Which arrondissement? Thanks
where is this...
Yeah, I have been to this one... 😎

They still dump the trash straight off the donkey into the sea. Used to always have globs of oil in the water from the flushed out tanks of the oil tankers. You should visit Hydra, David. Not too far from Paris.
Wow, I’ve went to Hydra over 5 years ago. I didn’t know about this. ⚽️
You can watch the game from your balcony
Been there, a gem of a town to visit.

Pebble is number1
I think this was in the movie 50 First Dates.
Cannot wait to play here
There's some tricky layups there.
(No comment)
Definitely slicing it off the cliff.
Cypress point is what should’ve been on the list
Thank you
guarantee there will still be some crazy mfer who isnt willing to take the penalty for a lost ball, and goes looking for his ball on the cliffs.
Played Pebble in August- extreme traffic, very roughed up course. Beautiful views, for sure, but your local country club has better greens.
Burn it all down @epro63
Not that secret but we love pebble
$800 to tie your shoes
where’s my drive going then? 😂
Cypress better tho

I found this accidentally when walking around!

I feel like this warms the heart of @_futbolprof
Yes indeed, Jerry! 🙏
I think there was a scene of House of Gucci filmed here
I'll be impressed if this field is level.
It’s not a soccer field. It’s a handball field.
By the way, great photo. 👍🏻
find it yet??
That’s not a soccer field.
TBF, that's no even a soccer field. 5 aside if yer lucky.

I swear I've played Wii sports resort fighting on here
Unless this was for a special event this is fake… this is the helipad, which their guests would never sacrifice for the ability to play tennis in 50’ Celsius.
Yup, it was something along the lines of a promotonial video of 2 top tier tennis players playing there
Flashback: Federer & Agassi Hit On A Helipad
We look back at one of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships' most iconic moments: when Roger Federer and Andre Agassi hit tennis balls on the helipad of ...
youtube.com
I think it's pretty clear it was a one time thing.
I play tennis 5 days a week. There is ZERO chance, if given the opportunity, that I would play on that court.
This one is a big no for me.
this looks tight but hell nah
Yeah I was thinking the same haha. Can’t run for all the balls…
Shit place to be a ball boy that 😂😂
go get em jimmy
Scary!
That’s a super nope. Terrifying.
Holy Fuck! That's more terrifying than amusing mate
They didn't play any matches on it and they made the court itself shorter, but this is real. Federer and Agassi traded shots to film the commercial.
This looks like death
Gonna get trained up and then I’ll meet you here @ByNateTaylor
How can you even play on this? 1, you have wond. 2, you'd get dizzy being up so high! 3, ya better not hit the ball out of bounds and damage someone's Ferrari!
How many balls end up hurtling to the ocean?! That is crazy cool though.
I would never be able to be comfortable enough to play there.
Not sure I want to play on the hotel
Wonder if Venus and Sarena Williams blessed this court?
When you dive for a forehand smash and end up in the sea
This look like tht one spot from dragon ball z , picalo hometown or sum
This was a temporary set up for a marketing campaign years ago. It's normal purpose is a helipad, so should it be inadmissible...? 🤷🏼
This looks like a really bad idea
Serve & volley only, baseline play looks a challenge.
As if we needed another excuse to go to Dubai @michellewes10. But alas, here we are. haha!
You imagine just swimming next to the Burj Al Arab and a tennis ball comes rocketing out of the sky.
Not everything is for everybody. One would have to take up a different sport.
What is the praxis of this @ClubLeftTennis?
everyone on the forbes billionaires list should be placed in a big tournament bracket and play each other to the death on this platform.
Better take a lot of extra tennis balls
Fuck dubai
What a perfect place!
That is pretty awesome
Yessir. Have been here many times.
We used to put a keg in the back of a pickup and park in that gravel spot in the outfield. We’d be right next to the opposing dougout which they either loved or hated. Good memories at this one.

This is what my heaven looks like 🥲
That's hysterical. Have you ever actually been there?🤣
So cool
That’s an amazing pic
This and the BYU field have got to be the two best baseball fields
Wow! Is it really a worthy #2 @JBabs15?
Hard NO!!
But it only looks that way out of baseball season lol
How many trees were cut so that a handful of players can play a game on a beautiful venue?
It's Boone. Ain't a spot to put a baseball field without cutting down trees

What happens when you hit a home run from Beaver Field?
I went to school here for a year!
It is usually not nearly this beautiful because it fucking rains almost every single god damn day, it’s always foggy as shit, and the leaves are only that color for like 3 seconds total
any questions Jack?
So gonna go out on a limb here and say app doesn’t play their season when the trees look like that.
We used the club house year round to play ping pong!!
This is amazing
Yes , it is
Gwadar cricket stadium in Pakistan. Located at the middle fo the mountains.
It’s outdoor??
I actually really like that one
Because it is ugly
Just no Doli.
Because it’s in China, not really politically correct to list it here
Or because this location is a terrible place to hold sporting events🤷
Whatever
Truth hurts
It's called a joke buddy
Russia made the list
🤣🤣🤣🤣 what
He posted a picture of Russia. Political correct?
This was an appropriate end to those beautiful places.
They misspelled Springfield.
🤣🤣🤣💀
Because it's ugly?
Can’t tell if this is sarcastic
Bucket list would be to get to all of them.
Thanks for putting this together - super cool to see !
a real football field there. nice
How about tennis courts at ITHF?

The most beautiful pitch in the most beautiful place… pitch side on the peninsula
Before I looked through the pictures I thought of the football field in fintra Donegal where we walk, not thinking it would be in it.. But there it was.. 👍
Great list! If you want to add an addendum, here is my local golf course, Cruit Island, an island off the northwest coast of Ireland.
📍Cruit Island Golf Club, Kincasslagh, Donegal. If you get a chance during Summer 2021 take a trip to Cruit Island on the west coast of Donegal. For golfers and non golfers alike, the incredible coastline is a sight to see! This is the signature 6th hole at the course. ⛳️🏌🏻♂️

Great shout Daniel- The Gorge is class. Played on 2 of the list and seen the pitch in Hvar!
Great thread! 😳
Absolutely amazing
great thread
Singapore has a beautiful soccer pitch by the waterfront as well.
I remember seeing it being played on and his thinking that's the coolest sports field I'd ever seen.
How many balls are swimming in Norwegian sea? 😂
dominated by Football, as you'd expect. You missed a few beautiful ones but overall a good list

I mean first picture not as good. This one is obviously way better than a tennis court in Iowa.
Bro stop and just admire the pics. Shit.
Maldives is Africa
Maldives is not Africa, check your Geography
Maldives in Asia
The cricket stadium in Rwanda should have made the list.
Show me ?
Here you go.
It won a whole bunch of international architecture awards - the pavilion is designed to represent both the path of a bouncing cricket ball and traditional Rwandan huts.
Yeah I agree. This is stunning. Some of the options that are given here are very meh. This is gorgeous
you like good cricket stuff. This is one of the prettiest
Soccer field in Cape Town maybe
As should have Newlands Cricket ground in Capetown
Newlands and Nelson Mandela Bay stadium would also be contenders.
Just thinking of that. What a sight!
I've been to Newlands. It is beautiful. But I've also been to Pukekura Park, and I'd have to side with Richie Benaud, who felt that Pukekura Park was the most beautiful cricket stadium in the world. But it is close.
I have only seen Newlands on TV, including the drone shots. And it looks gorgeous.
I did not even know Pukekara existed! Thanks for the info!
Sure. And I'd argue that Cobham Oval in Whangarei is another amazing ground.
But neither of them are in Africa.
Yea, I was just mentioning grounds in general.
Because they are none. The only “unique” venues are mud fields. Very little (or no) beauty in Africa.
Vipingo ridge would have been a great add on
There are so many majestic locations that would make perfects spots. That european soccer player from a while back had a solid idea.
Nor aus
8. The Bondi Icebergs pool in Australia — it was also converted to a basketball court last year.
Hard to believe Newlands cricket pitch under table mountain in Cape Town didn’t make the list
But we fundraise for beautiful mosques and not even irrigation or good classrooms. You dig?
Come on! How did this not make it? Mxm
It’s that bad.
Great answer and a great race!
Here we go…
Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town would also be on my list. Brewery and Table Mountain what more could you want!
Funny that 🤷♂️
great job thank you for sharing some amazing images
Not on the list but Pac Bell in San Francisco has some pretty cool views.

Golf course tara iti new zeland . Look it up
Love these. Lucky enough to have been to 2! Pasadena Rose Bowl and Monaco Grand Prix Circuit
Might have said this before, but still looking forward wingsuiting over that scenery, parachuting down to that field. Some day ✌️
To cut through that beautiful earth for the Norwegian one seems like a travesty actually
Wow all 50 of these are gonna be breathtaking
Great list, but you're missing Steele Stadium. Well manicured lawn and pool, plus unique field dimensions with that short porch in straightaway center. So perfect, it doesn't even look real.
I saw Pablo Sanchez hit for the cycle at this stadium… great venue
I hope you didn’t throw away the ticket to the game. Probably worth $100k+ at auction if in good condition.
Was probably the home run cycle, all to straightaway center. 😄
Austin, if there is ever a Backyard Baseball alumni game, I’d vote for you to do the play-by-play commentating.
elite reference
This cricket ground in Gwadar, Pakistan surely can be included in your list.
Except it is in Pakistan🤷🏻♂️
Chris lives in rural Montana and only watches Fox News
People all over the world, wish they lived in the Middle East👎🏼
No, I wish I lived in rural Montana - it’s beautiful out there. The only think I’d do different is to be open to being educated, not be close minded and be open to opinions other than of Fox News
This one is incredible! 😍
Is this real grass or artificial?
(No comment)
Good one Bo.
I'm afraid to ask, what could be even more beautiful than this venue🙌
Whoa! That’s incredible
I’d be dizzy by the time I dribbled to half court 🤣
That hurts my eyes
Was just looking for my picture of this one - so cool!
Keppa can't play on this pitch
I'm so glad this is the first reply to this thread I saw
Beautiful
10 things I hate about you?
That was my first thought too
Has to be
Yuppp
Haha they named the high school after the stadium.
That's an amazing view
Great list. I’ve been to 10 of these places. Definitely want to make it to the rest of them.
No fuckin way. That’s amazing!
So many amazing spots
you want to team up and hit all of these in 100 days? 😂😂😂😂
if you're paying
let’s gooooo
camden yards is a shithole looks like
Not comparable
You’re right. PNC wishes it was half the park Camden Yards is
Yeah, easily. Arguably the best park in baseball. Team might be trash, but the yard is still class.
Did you look at the other 50 sports venues. Pebble Beach, Mountain Views, tucked into a hidden valley somewhere. And your hitting me with downtown Baltimore without a view of the harbor?
You can thank Camden Yards for PNC Park. If Baltimore doesn’t build Camden yards you’re watching the Pirates from a less than stellar renovated Three Rivers.
Can definitely thank Camden Yards for most new stadiums. Just don't thank it for a WS opportunity 😆
Uh yeah your point?
It was even better before the Hilton went up
With respect, I’ve been to both, find both beautiful, but PNC is the cream of the crop.
Oriole Park at Camden Yards is a beautiful ballpark but the area is t great. PNC has the location right in addition to the park. That’s the difference. It’s def still the OG for the Retro revival
This one is not ever close. Please sit down. (Reds fan)
What? Reds Fan? You do know where Camden Yards is, don't you?
I've been to both. Camden is great, but PNC is probably top-2 in MLB.
You been to any?
Been to Parc des Princes and Monaco, some very cool places. You?
No.3
Not the actual court but the hotel though
Tough job being a ball boy at that place
(No comment)
50 random photos of sports venues I do not own the rights to use
I will never not share threads like this one
Good list, but missing these two:
1. Cape Town Stadium, South Africa
2. Oracle Stadium, San Francisco, USA
Amazing! Thank you for adding this to the list. Visiting Oracle Stadium next month 🙌🏽
Amazing, you will love it!! Make sure you go for a walk along the Bay side open area 🤩 🌁
Gotta give some love to Witter Field and the Alaskan Rugby Grounds too.
Good list, but #VodafonePark, home of the @Besiktas Black Eagles, should clearly be considered a top 10 most beautiful sports venue.
No way
Beautiful
Not bad our soccer field in La Losa, Segovia (Spain) @Elfutbolmodsto @cdsierramm
De los mejores hilos
hope u have seen. @Bountifulsafari iende kazi
he’s at it. Cappielow park
All golf venues can be removed
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 has some stunning cricket grounds too!
You forgot basketball court at Rowland Park in Rowland Heights, CA. #rowlandraiders #rowlandhts
You’re missing Newlands cricket ground, Cape Town.
Is the hot water on yet?
Gold
What is this?
Looks like Canadian tire center outside of Ottawa
Hey hey hey. It’s actually IN the City of Ottawa, not outside.
Should still be Kanata
Kanata is not a city. It’s an area within Ottawa.
Kanata was its own city until amalgamation in 2001
Correct.
A parking lot
CTC Ottawa. The worst located stadium you could imagine. Soulless.
It's the pride of Ottawa Carleton, Eastern Ontario's largest parking lot
No, he didn't
This would be #988 on this list
#988,000 maybe.
This is ugly af
It’s just a big car park? 😂
Looks like a church 💀
rich people church
What a dump
Lol...🗑️
Where else can you shop multiple dealers for a car, fill up on snacks at a gas station, AND watch a hockey game all in the same day!? This should be #1
beautiful concrete
Beat me to it
Amazing. Great work Joe. You need a couple more baseball stadiums though. Glad to see PNC in the list but Oracle and Petco deserve a nod too.
Not exactly sports but this track and field stadium at 11k feet is well above some of them on the list
where is it and 11k feet desert?
You Americans need explanation for everything.!!
Funny enough, there is a desert 11K feet above sea level in the United States
where
Great Basin -California/ Nevada / Utah
lmao....angry much?
Dude just asked a simple question, haha
You don’t know do you?
Its in ladakh india…do visit..it’s beautiful place..you will amazing time
Ayo I think track n field is in fact a sport my guy
Okay Dick jone jr. You always have to dot the I and cross the T don't you !!sorry dicky
This can’t be a real person
It might even be several of them
A lot of Croatia there, let me know if you're visiting 🤗
Breathtaking! Just wow!
Cool thread. Notable honorable mention should include Folsom Field in Boulder CO. Also many beautiful horse tracks around the globe!
Beautiful!

Especially right as the sun is setting on a summer evening-go up the 300 level on the left field side and fight for position to get the sunset over Alki.
The fact Augusta National Golf Club is not on here blows my mind…
And pebble isn't even the best on that peninsula, right?
7th at Pebble is pretty singular
Ever see it 2 weeks before the Masters?
Where is Notre Dame Stadium?
In Indiana….
I have one! World's highest polo ground (Shandur Polo Ground - Gilgit, Pakistan)
Not mine, I googled it. But yeah, the place is very pretty.

You should add Cape Town,Adelaide,Canberra, Hobart,Lords,Christchurch,Queenstown,Mount Maunganui,Chepauk,Wankhede,Galle,Trinidad,
St.Lucia,Bernabeu,Camp nou,Allianz,Old Trafford,San Siro,Soccer city,Maracana, Wembley, etc,...

Rooftop soccer field next to the world’s busiest crosswalk in Tokyo, Japan.
There is a Gyoza no Osho just around the corner from there.
Exact same spot. Shibuya in Tokyo.
They got some crazy places like this all pver japan but it has been 15 years since i last was there i want to go again
Well obviously
Did they demolished the building beside it?
(No comment)
Hotel Excel Shibuya I think? I used to watch some games from there.
*football pitch
So how do you play here?? Want to go play there so bad

Joe, do you know if we can buy prints of some of these? It would make a cool sports room.
(No comment)
A venue for #Creditsafe’s next sports day event? 😉
I wonder if @LevisStadium will make the list? 🤔. I’m riffing fyi, before people start @ me 😂
Closest to any I’ve been is seeing PSG’s stadium twice from the Peripherique and then releasing we’d missied our turning twice! Also walked alongside that stretch of water in Venice but didn’t realise there was a pitch on the other side of the wall!
How Cape Town escaped his list (great list that it is!)is beyond me
(No comment)
Excellent 🧵👏👏👏
Green point stadium and Moses Mabida stadium South Africa
You just beat me to it😂
Where dreams are made (and some nightmares 😂)
These are all Athlete's Fields of Dreams! Great post @JoePompliano. Big fan of the show.
this is bucket list stuff.
I just imagined the ball kicked so high it goes out of the pitch and into the water. That could easily amount to a red card or something 🙄😂
Where are the stands?
Yeah, but, terrible ice.
Burton Court cricket pitch, Royal Hospital, Chelsea, London is pretty impressive
(No comment)
Doesn’t move me
see the thread, some good ones
Great thread
(No comment)
So fucking fire! I just wanna run around that field and kick a ball so bad hahah
For real me too! This thread is so fire. A couple of those baseball fields are sooo dope too. But to be honest the soccer fields have the coolest locations
Love this ball park! Even on the hottest days always a nice breeze off the bay.
Wow. Awesome. I’m a native to 1 so I’m biased on that front. But imho if put 40 a LOT higher
Wow just goes to show there's still so much beauty everywhere!
No brainer!
This was distracting for me, lol. Beautiful place to watch baseball.
How have you not included the home of English football.
The Select Car Leasing Stadium just off junction 11 of the M4 on the outskirts of Reading.
Isn't it wonderful
Don’t be daft, everyone knows that the home of English football is situated at the end of a Buckinghamshire industrial estate
No Indianapolis Motor Speedway or Bristol?
Fenway not being top 10 is almost criminal.

Wow I never knew we had on in Kerry, it’s unreal!!
Was just to about to post it & the Golf Club
Camps Bay High School has a pretty decent rugby and cricket pitch in Cape Town
God help the poor ballboy after an under the posts conversion into the sea end.
Wow I hadn’t see this pitch before
Haha can't forget our High school @Robbo218 😅
Amazing list.
Gleneagles belongs.....
The University of Montana football stadium deserves to probably be on this list too
But mUh sEa LeVeLs A rIsInG dUe tO cLiMaTe ChAnGe
How to spectators watch?
Beat me to it
Impressive! Also Torrey Pines @ La Jolla, CA and St. Andrews @ Scotland. I know, golf and golf. I've only been to a couple of the places you listed of course, but it was a fun journey to take here! Great thread.
good suggestions dawn
The Bobcats out of Bozeman has beautiful mountains in the background as well.
Is it Griz/Cat or Cat/Griz?
I’ve never seen the Griz in person. Couldn’t make a proper judgement.
I say Cat/Griz
Cat/Griz. No one says Navy/Army
Hell yeah. Go Griz.
Beat me to it
This is an amazing thread.
I would love to see if you can find the basketball court in Guatemala City that is near the edge of a waterfall. One of the coolest courts/fly overs.
Could never find it when I google it.

I would have added the northern most sports complex in north america. The blue football field in Barrow alaska. Where polar bears run the area
I don't see Madison Square Garden on this list 🤔
Include Pebble but no Kauri Cliffs, Cape Kidnappers, Cypress Point, Tara Iti, etc? Those 4 alone are better than Pebble. Pebble isn’t even the best on 17 mile drive…

Key word “beautiful”
It’s in Kansas
That’s shite. Looks like a library.
The Mecca of college bball is the Palestra in Philadelphia
The first one is insane
Dharamshala Cricket stadium, India images.app.goo.gl/PbmbrwAsyViMbX…
Great thread. I’m going to argue that you missed one, though: The All-England Club.
Lol. This is a attempt at a joke right?
Nah dude. Look at the beauty of the parking lot
I’m a Chiefs and Royals fan myself, and those are nice stadiums, but the acres of surrounding parking lots can’t compare with the breathtaking surroundings of the stadiums on this list. The list seems to be more about surrounding scenery than the stadiums themselves.
Beautiful parking lots.
I think you’ve misunderstood the category.
Was it not "stadiums of teams I like located in mediocre environs"?
Nope...generic and the views outside of the venue is concrete/gravel jungle
Lol you gotta be kidding
Two stadiums in the middle of a gigantic parking lot? Not making this list.
Gross. Way off base. And I have attended several royals games
This is not beautiful. This is a giant parking lot.
I knew there had to be something from BC.
It’s even better looking back up to the snow capped peaks when the cruise ships come past!
I wish I had an elevated pic of that from behind that clubhouse with the snow capped mountains and north shore. In terms of rugby/cricket pitches that has to be in the top 10 worldwide. It's a treat to play against @VanRowClub1886.

(No comment)
If only @CitiField didn’t have the chop shops surrounding it
Well I agree
Cant see the pitch in vestmanneyjar iceland. Definietly should be on top 50
Okay that's pretty dope.
Missing a ton of golf courses on this list
Haha I showed this to Sara earlier. Some of them are so crazy
this thread is incredible
This isn’t top 50, but I love this course in Springville, UT.
The soccer field looks great, but it would probably be odd and not as pretty to actually watch a game there
(No comment)
this is great
Holy shit that cool
(No comment)
That’s amazing, wow!
Sanitation convention?
….At least it’s not named after a grocery store, right?
You should know it well you lost there for almost 30 years straight🥴
Imagine your field named after a grocery store?
Idk bro I can buy beer and steak at a grocery store
Now justify your basketball arena because of your lack of tradition like you did football.
Sits* a beautiful place.
That place is old and a dump.
That's the one

check this out
holy smokes. glorious.
Just down the road Warkworth castle. Went to see my son play here for the country when he was a junior
This is beautiful
Gorgeous! 🌈💗
Oh wow this is possibly the best compilation of sports venues I have ever seen. Amazing!
Great list. A few more I would mention:
Queenstown Event Centre in New Zealand
Arnos Vale Cricket Oval in Saint Vincent
And for my money, the nicest view in a US stadium - Folsom Field at the University of Colorado
(No comment)
Surprised Oracle Park didn't make it.
missed Nottingham field
I’m sure it was 51. Just missed the cut haha
These are cool
Beautiful ❤️
Love these but the one missing is the high school athletic complex built on top of the Lincoln Tunnel heading into Times Square
So cool!!!
(No comment)
That’s where i play my best pickup at
Fantastic 👌🏽

(Possibly sensitive)
Scotland Yard, Covenant College on the edge of Lookout Mountain, Georgia!
The Spectrum would have been number 1.
The front yard also saw its share of memorable basketball and wiffle ball games. Left side of the driveway made a decent bmx track too after watching RAD.
could imagine some good street hockey in that driveway.
We are Florida kids. No street hockey back in our day.
Where is São Januário - Vasco da Gama’s soccer stadium in Rio de Janeiro?
Minute Maid Park, home of the 2017 World Series champion Houston Astros in Houston, Texas

I see your list, and raise you our Howard Fisher Memorial Field on the Black Mountain Campus of Montreat College @MontreatCavs! 👀
Croatia has 4 out 50? It really is small country with bunch of beautiful places
Honorable Mention: Lindquist Field in Ogden, Utah. Ben Lomand Peak in the distance.
check this out!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is awesome
That one in Norway is nutty. I’ll even watch soccer there
That that looks unbelievable
Agree, that’s a fabulous football ground
walked by this field a million times
Correct
Aye I work here 😭 it don’t compare at all
This one looks like a Pokémon battlefield
Look, I have a 10 year old! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha, yeah, 9 but she’s obsessed with Pokémon
This is a dope thread
Only got thru about 20 but Oh Em Gee...absolutely beautiful. I cant take it...I need to go to these places Now!!! I dont even care too much about soccer outside of the world cup but HEY ZEUS!!! I wanna go to Norway!!! Might even pick up golf, tennis to enjoy some of these venues!
the parking must be brutal
Boats, lots of boats
Not sure the stadium name,but Pepperdine's baseball field overlooking the Malibu coast is unreal
Eddy D. Field and it is a beautiful setting to catch a game!

By "beautiful" you mean according to people flying in an airplane and viewing with a filter?
Yeah, I thought the same thing as you. But still beautiful!

This look so beautiful, looks like a starwars planet lol
(No comment)
Got to add:
The Cove
Bobcat Stadium. Montana St Football
Wimbledon
Augusta National
Absolutely insane the cove didn’t even make the list. A top 10 venue on my list for sure
This would be better looking without a stadium.
Okay fine but the fact that every single one of these aren’t golf courses defeats the list entirely.
