Post by Muppet the Cat »

Could be anywhere, so worldwide and not just footie stadiums/grounds.

Looking for city/location; name of stadium/ground; and, team(s) who play there

A stadium right in the middle of a bunch of houses with a cricket pitch next to it and apparently no parking to be seen.
Looks like rugby posts and markings.
Wales. Glamorgan?

Driving on the left but none of the usual UK road markings that I can see ..Looks very flat, houses laid out in grids. Australia/New Zealand?

If they get a large crowd it must be a nightmare getting to and from the ground.

:tup: spot on Clacton, Eden Park, Auckland, NZ

Biggest stadium in NZ. Home to the Auckland Blues and where the All Blacks play most of their biggest games.

:tup: correct home of the Pittsburgh Steelers (so also correct Bob) - Heinz Field. Although wasn't it Three Rivers Stadium (for obvious reasons), which sounds much better IMO

Bit of flim flam at the start, I kinda knew it was Heinz field...If you watch American football you'd know TV coverage love throwing up Aerial views...

The Ohio is one I think, not sure of the other 1/2

Oh I zoomed but just to get a clearer view and in the case of the first one see if I could get some clues from the surroundings. Clearly visible that they drive on the left

Yes the 3 rivers gave it away to me. Shows how much I know, I still thought it was called 3 Rivers Stadium.
