but as tyduffy wrote, England are behind the US in stadium building.
Its only in the past 10-15 years that new stadiums are incorporating the retro feel to them, because all the multipurpose domes of the 60s and 70s were sterile, lifeless, and did not lend to any fan atmosphere. That is why practically none of the them still exist.
Its a pity that millions are spent, only to be removed. But it goes to show that stadiums must be done right the first time around.
That is why (amongst other reasons) I am a Fulham and Red Sox supporter - when I go to their stadiums I am taking part in history. I'm not paying a ticket for an amusement park.

Anybody saying Wembley, for example, is a "generation behind" the U.S. doesn't know what they're talking about. It may succeed or fail as a matchgoing experience, but it won't be because it's beholden to outdated ideas (even in the U.S. Soldier Field is a good example) about how you have to make stadia look "old" or have "character." That's fakery, not tradition.
