After hearing the fantastic roar from the away end when Napoli scored last night I quite fancy seeing them at home. Did my heart good to see City stunned in their own "community" stadium.

Top five not necessarily top notch grounds but nice atmosphere in them
West Brom Trent Bridge Craven Cottage Milbrook Amsterdam Arena
Worst five - for overall day out
Wembley Vale Park Feethams Filbert Street Vetch Field
When I last went to Goodison Park I liked the ground and atmosphere but that was in 1986 so it's probably past it's best now
Looking forward to seeing Arsenal's ground but fear it might be a bit like Wembley - all gloss and no character with rip off prices in and around the ground

If stadiums means all sports then Edgbaston is my top by a mile. Agree with Matt, Trent Bridge is a top stadium too, in fact all the cricket venues I've been too have been top days out
As for football, Anfield, Wembley, Villa Park, Brittania and Molineux are my top five, with little competition, as don't got to too many games as neutrals.
Grounds I'd like to go to in the UK: Etihad, White Hart Lane, Millenium Stadium, Celtic Park and Brighton's new one.
Grounds abroad I'd like to go to: The Nou Camp, Bernabeu, San Siro, Westfalstadion, Allianz Arena.
I'd also love to get to Twickenham and Lords.

Most atmospheric; WEMBLEY ( Old ground) ANFIELD VILLA PARK MAN CITY (whatever its called now) but saw Rugby League. STAMFORD BRIDGE ( old ground)
Worst; MOSS ROSE ( Macclesfield ) FRASER EAGLE ( Accrington) EDGAR STREET (Hairyfud) DEVA STADIUM (Jester City) VETCH ( Swansea... now that was a s**tehole)
And a spec ial mention for OLD SLAPPARD, for a big stadium (full of Irish and Chinese) with NO atmosphere whatsoever. Ground i would like to visit, Greenhous Meadow when a Championship ground.

Glad Loftus Road has been mentioned - my fav in the UK. White Hart Lane is similar. Craven Cottage (preferred before the temp seats went in) has a lovely setting.

Rather like Gay Meadow it was a ground with some character I always thought, unlike their new ground - can't even remember what it's called. Craven Cottage, Saltergate and Loftus Road all good choices. Deva got to be one of the worst and I always hate going to Moss Rose.

I only went to Feethoms twice - recall it being very cold, wet and Darlington wasn't too impressive either
However the ground itself had a bit of character
