You need a roof in stadia to keep the noise in or else it just doesn't work. If you have a big enough stand at one end of a ground (with no corners as then the sound goes sideways), the fans are capable of generating something so loud that you can literally feel the sound from the other end. A running track normally is a big factor in ****ing things right up.

Villa Park, Stamford Bridge and Anfield in England are the kind of stadia that are probably potentially the best for atmosphere as they are built like this, have about 40000 capacity or more and have stands close to the pitch.

Although this is only a 20000 seater, and quite frankly a rotting block of concrete Fratton Park, this ground is capable of generating tremendous amounts of noise, so it's not just the stadium, it's the people you put in it. On top of this it features the last remaining stand (the one on the left) built by the great stadium designer, Archibald Leitch.
