  • Favourite stadium with a track inside

    I love every stadium that has a track inside. Especially the OG stadiums.
    The spray such a dazzling atmosphere.
    I did a ranking of my favourite architectural stadium.
    1. LA Coliseum in shape of 1984
    2. Olympic Stadium Montreal (Like the tower so much)
    3. Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg

    But every stadium has its own history that it makes so unique. There ar so much more e.g. Olympicstadium Berlin and Munich, Helsinki, Bydgosz stadium.

    Whats your fave stadium with an included track ?
    Cheers

    I grew up in Southern California...so my favorite is same as your #1...L.A. Coliseum in 1984 shape. Nearly all the top track and field performances that I have seen in person (including my first sub 4 mile) were in that stadium. Lot of great memories!

      I am having trouble thinking of a "football" stadium that still has a track inside the stadium.
      Univ of Washington (last time I was there) comes to mind
      Duke
      Kansas (?)
      Boise State

      There must be others.

        Kansas still does (though there is noise every few years to have removed).

        You can add Buffalo and Eastern Michigan to the list (both seat around 30,000).

          They don't play football inside of it and have not for a long time but for me, there is only one.... Franklin Field.

            I've said it before, but my favorite stadia are:
            -Stockholm Olympic
            -old Bislett Oslo (haven't seen the new one)
            -old Letzigrund Zurich (haven't seen the new one)
            -Hayward Field Eugene

            Least favorite (!):
            -Atlanta Olympic (awful in every way imaginable)
            -Paris St. Denis (just way stinkin' too big and impersonal)
            -Crystal Palace London (weird, awkward, and ugly)

              Hughes Stadium, football and athletics, both, on the campus of Sacramento City College.

                They took the track out of the BYU football stadium...but then they built a great, state of the art track and field facility now named after Clarence F. Robison, BYU coach for 40 years (1948-88).

                  Who is "they"? I'm pretty sure Penn still plays its home football games in Franklin Field.

                            It's not as good? It is dream of mine to go there someday.

                              Berlin still looks as good as ever from the outside, but the addition of a roof inside destroyed the aesthetic
