Football grounds visible from motorways

[cliche guevara]

Weston Homes Community Stadium is visible from the A12, which while not being a motorway, is a triple carriageway.

I'm sure I've seen the Coventry stadium from the motorway.

On your left just before M6 junction 3 travelling north you can see the Ricoh Arena (especially the big red RICOH on the roof).
Obviously southbound just after j3 on your right.

You can see the new Colchester United ground from the A12, its right next door.

Rangers from the M8
St Johnstone from the A9 (?)
West Brom from the M5 (I'm guessing this is possible)
Elland Rd from the M621 (ditto)
You must be able to see Man City from the M60????????

I don't think you can see Bramall Lane from the M1- it's on the other side of the city. Think you may have seen Don Valley Stadium lights.

i remember it up looking and i think there was a game on .. if you look on the map there is a direct sight line down sheffield road down the don valley to brammall lane ( er past the DVS)


but i am not certain and you may well be right

I thought about West Brom and although its a matter of yards off junction 1 of M5 I dont think you can see it at any point as the motorway is very low at that point.

you can, many's the time I've looked at the Hawthorns on a trip up north. Then a little later, Bescot (already mentioned I think)

There's something disturbingly anorakish about this thread

Yeah you can see the floodlights and the swarms of flies buzzing around the shithole


And you can see Stoke's ground as well, you might even be able to see their old and new ground!!

Is the Vic still there then?

Well the last time I went past it was still there but in a bit of a run down state. A couple of years back a bloke was squatting there trying to get ownership of the place.

I dont know what the outcome of that was.

Interesting. I know the Baseball Ground was around for some time after Pride Park opened and Boothferry Park was still standing until a year or two ago. Both gone now I think.

I used to love the Baseball Ground, it reminded me of Subbuteo (in a nice way).

I went there a few times (losing most of them) with the best visit being a 4-1 win for Wolves mostly thanks to a Steve Bull Hat-Trick!!! Superb.

Stade de la Route de Lorient - Rennes FC is visable from the E50.

Can you see Kenilworth Road from the M1?

You can't see it from the Bury Park estate where it is, let alone the M1.

You could see Loftus Road from the A40M heading out of town but not sure now Westfield has gone up.

You can see Spurs from the North Circular motorway bit around Edmonton.

 

[Harold Hill]

I would dispute whether you can see Wembley, which motorway,and what vehicle are you driving?

You can see from the M1 in the Hendon area, definitely when a night game is on..

The paris M25 (not sure what its called) goes under PSG's ground.

The A40 lost motorway status in 2000!
