The Estádio São Januário, home of Vasco Da Gama in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the only football stadiums in the world where the dugouts and coaching areas are situated behind the same goal line at one end of the ground.

Just thought I'd share that with the class. Any more ?

I was just looking at stadiums, I'm a bit of a train spotter with stadia, love them quirky. There is one where one side is basically a mountain/cliff edge. A Scottish pro side is literally on the beach. And another where a railway runs underneath it I believe.

I heard building work started at the end of 2018 on a derelict decrepit old ground that's going to have a £100m eye sore stuck onto it.

I'm not sure it'll be quirky, but it'll definitely be a one off.

Thats Braga in Portugal.

I'm also a total stadium nerd, I find them endlessly fascinating.

Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has a hot tub at one end of the ground.

I’m astonished already by the imagination of the designers and the engineering expertise.

And I thought the Amex was state of the art when it opened.

There’s a stadium in South London with seats designed for people without legs

Keep em coming

There used to be one at the back of the stand at Exeter.

Been there several times, must admit I don't recall a hedge.

I do remember turning up one afternoon and getting an absolute SOAKING in the away end, it pissed down for the whole game. I also recall being utterly agog at the size of Peter Brezovan, who could touch the crossbar without even jumping. It was his Albion debut, I think he saved a pen that day as well.
