Seeing a match at Westfalenstadion is on my bucket list

[–] neverfinishedanythi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve only seen one but it was quite an iconic match

Although Camp Nou is a notable absentee

[–] BoringRule3630@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Are these the 5 biggest stadiums for a club side?

[–] Wakanda-shit-is-that@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bayern and Dortmund are maxed out

Allianz Arena has 75k seats and Signal Iduna Park has 81.365k seats.

Some clubs in Serie B could be higher like Palermo or Sampdoria or Bari but a lot of people don't bother going to the stadium it it's not Serie A or a promotion playoff, it's kinda sad because half of them support juve/inter/milan instead of their local club

[–] MadTapirMan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

...so they couldnt be higher?

[–] Both-Management7021@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

😭😭Exactly. they could be higher but they aren't so they're not..

[–] DjathIMarinuar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They merely failed to get a higher ranking

The whole point is that they aren't in the top flight but still get very large crowds. Its a good metric of how loyal the support is.

I feel like this should be in percentages rather than numbers

[–] RobDickinson@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Old Trafford? I assume that count is done at the start of the game not the end...

[–] Kind-Departure1058@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Remember that Manchester United turns the surrounding area to a tourist hub due to the magnitude of the club, they may not have had the best years on the pitch but they're still a big fucking institution that makes a killing commercially so I'm sure tourists fill up Old Trafford too

Should be called Giuseppe Meazza for AC Milan right?

[–] Far_Entertainer2365@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m glad they aren’t made like college stadiums in the USA.

[–] champdude17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Just a note, German clubs report tickets sold, not actual attendance. I don't know about Spain or Italy, but English clubs report how many people actually came rather than how many tickets were sold.

[–] yp261@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

its attendance in Madrid. which shows perfectly how fucked the ticketing system is. you can’t buy a ticket as a Madridista a week before game because of 40k queue on website, in 20 minutes they are sold out because socios are buying pretty much everything to sell it on 3rd party websites. i was in madrid 2 weeks ago and getting tickets officially was the most depressing and dreadful experience i’ve ever had

That's actually not ture English clubs use tickets sold.

The difference is German match tickets are so much cheaper and their public transport is A LOT cheaper. (They own our railways companies and use the profits to subsides there own ticket prices for trains).

Another thing to note about German clubs is their stadiums fit more people in due to standing. This is banned in most other countries and would drastically reduce the average attendance number at all of these clubs.

Funny I keep hearing about City and their " Record Attendance Numbers"

[–] Kind-Departure1058@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is the same club that apparently reported the ''highest revenue'' in Europe...with 115 charges over their head

[–] PhysicalScholar4238@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thought Liverpool would be on this list.

[–] vigneshwaralwaar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Our stadium is injured rn.. Wait till it gets fit.

Would it be more balanced to use percentages, or would that skew it in favour of smaller clubs with easier to fill stadiums?

[–] Junior_Low_1282@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

United aren’t allowed to sell over 74K seats anyway.

[–] SkayPGC@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would the list be different if it wasn't the top 5 leagues? I can't imagine any teams beating this outside of the top 5?

Wow Italian attendances have come back hard from 10 years ago

[–] kizungu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

and this is without privately owned stadiums, imagine if each club had their own, with good visibility, decent public transport connections etc.

Lol, people pay to see ManUre at Old Trafford? They willingly give their money?!???!

[–] EnesPig2005@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought AC Milan would have more fans

[–] Geographizer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The turf at San Siro must be some sort of super seed.

[–] Rasalghul92@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Number 3 & 5 having such high attendances just to put out weekly stinkers on the pitch.

[–] ndlogok@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] Glanzl@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Funny thing is Uli Hoeneß Said that they miscalculated when they build Allianz Arena and could have easily made the satdium for 80-100k people and it would still be easily sold out (almost) every game

[–] TheItalianStallion64@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

how is inter’s number lower than milan’s but their percentage is higher? it’s the same stadium lol
