85k for Olympics, 75 after.

you'd have thought it would increase after seeing as they play their grid-rugger on a tennis court size

It just seems that the bits above the stands are as big as the stands themselves. Like a giant meccano set!

Bayern Munich mate (Allianz Arena)

Lille's can do it as well(outside made of tubes), and a few others since Bayerns was built tbh, think Eden Park in Aukland also had 1 of those skins and can be done.
wasnt it the Aquatic centre in Beijing that 1st did it ?

list of closed stadiums by capacity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_closed_stadiums_by_capacity
has west ham 2nd & tower athletic grounds New Brighton 7th.
however it lists old Wembley as 82,000 so its not so accurate

If New York had got the 2012 Olympics then this was to be built and the jets move into it....

Yikes that looked like it would have been ugly.

Wembley had 82k at the time it was closed.

Thats what the figures are based on, not its max capacity.

Which makes no sense cos New Brightons ground never ever held 100k.

Partizan & Red Star are a lot closer to each other than I ever imagined

Was just having a look to see which are the closest stadiums to each other. Dundee and Dundee United must be the winners...

I remember hearing once that the goals closest to each other are in different stadiums, i.e. the ggoal at the far end of Dundee is closer to the goal at Utd than it is to the other at their own ground. looks close but I reckon its one of those myths.

Headingley Cricket and Rugby Grounds have a back to back stand

MTK Budapest & BKV

Lagos, The national Stadium & Teslim Balogun from a footbridge you can see into both at the same time.


Buenos Aires, Independiente & Racing Club

But the most impressive answer of all comes from the outskirts of Blackpool. "The two closest teams in the English pyramid are Squires Gate FC and Blackpool Wren Rovers," writes Michael Haughey. The two grounds, School Road and Bruce Park, share a boundary wall along the length of one touchline.
& apparently AFC Blackpool is across the road

MTK Budapest & BKV

I saw a match at both those grounds last April, easily the closest 'professional' clubs in Europe. The MTK ground is also where Escape to Victory was filmed.
