Looks like the Isle of Dogs but obviously not. The other city I can think of with a river like that is Moscow and this is the Luzhniki stadium

:tup: Rich, the Luzhniki in Moscow where they held the 2018 World Cup Final (but yes, it does look like the IOD :) )

Stick on this one.
Don't think it's in the UK: strange road markings in the SW corner.
Cricket pitch next door, so must be a Commonwealth country.
Looks to have a railway station next to the stadium.
No car parking.

Looks like another very small stadia to the north, I agree re the non UK road marking but left sided driving so Oz or NZ, I'd say the latter looking at the trees which look broad leafed deciduous. Maybe Melbourne at a pinch or Taz. I'd assume Rugby Union

As previous clue confirms rugby (union) and Southern Hemisphere.

Well known stadium and whilst not massive, a 50,000+ capacity

What are those blue rectangles -- covers, maybe?

Newlands stadium, Cape Town, South Africa.
That explains the strange road markings.

Blue rectangles must be outdoor swimming pools.

OK, not a stadium/ground, but a famous sporting location
